  1. Its like any hobby where there is usually some form of financial outlay ,, myself I have 2 ponds ,, 1 with goldfsh the other being a koi pond which anyone that keeps koi know there can be quite a price tag to keeping koi speacially when that time comes when you need to use koi & pond treatments some of which can be rather pricey including buying the koi in the first place.... but in any hobby, it's going to cost money, personally yes ok i dont tend to worry about the cost of a gallon of fuel or the price of glow plugs these day compared to say a few years ago and I dont think £30 price bracket for a gallon of fuel excessive .. while there are cheaper fuels out there but I choose to use which fuel my models seem to be happy running on just as i choose to drive a ny-on 2 ton big SUV car burning its way through 42-46 mpg worth of petrol for the 60 mile round trip 2 - 3 times a week to go and have a fly I cud let the wife spend the money it costs me just to go to the flying field every week bit seeing as my latest model being the Nexa Spitfire is costing my around the £700 all in why shud she have all the fun....... As rc modellers / flyers many of us are quick enough to chuck money at expensive models but then moan about the price of a gallon of glow fuel or how much the wife spends on shoes or make-up,, now I cant say I have an expensive wife but she can be just as bad at spending money as I am with rc flying so I can't complain there.......... But when you sit up the field with your favourite models even with the price of fuels if say the most expensive glow fue or diesel was the only fuel available and there was no other cheaper fuel options we wud still pay for the fuels we use to spend an enjoying day or weekend at the club field ,, either that or spend the day at home dreading what chore the wife was going to find for you to do next..... in my case its the weekend YAYYY I'm going flying I'll be home when I get here.. BYE!!.....

  7. Thats weird.... i never got a single ad,, when i did a of lot of video work i had the full paid for version but only do video editing now and then so just use the free version now
  8. Normally on rear needle SC Engines theres a blanking plug on the side of the carb where needle valve would otherwise be,, all you need do is remove the blanking plug from the carb... Remove rear mount from the crankcase & unscrew the nedle valve body from the rear mounting bracket and screw the needle valve body straight into the carb
  9. I had to move the main needle on my series 3 SC 52 to direct into the carb due to it being mounted on a panic using an original panic type engine mount

  12. Had an unfortunate escape of the Compression Screw on my Diesel Glider last week..... The comp screw on my MVVS 1.5cc Diesel Engine decided to come out in flight and went the way of the wind.... All is not lost though..... Now have another engine fitted but this time to prevent it from happening again ,,, The comp screw on the new engine has its own dog lead on it and the original engine has gone off to have a new comp screw made for it... I've know it to happen has anyone else ever had it happen with a Diesel Engine....??
  13. Plumb the tank like this...... Fill & Drain thru Fuel Filler Dot
