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!!.....

We are all doomed for sure........ Congrats @J D 8 - Moderator I'm sure you will be a BIG Benefit to the team

Remove from silencer while filling till tank is full then recnnect to silencer

Basicaly ASP SC & Magnum 4 strokes are all the same engines made in the same factory

cant find anything on facebook or the clubs website

Here u go unowotmanual.pdf

I use these on my four strokes https://www.rapidrcmodels.com/remote-glow-plug-adapter-with-negative-wire-351-p.asp

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

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

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

I use a free version of NCJH videopad for any videos i do.... https://www.nchsoftware.com/videopad/index.html

I cudn't find my roll of string,, Think Caz may have nicked it for her greenhouse Phil.......... and i just happen to pull a small chain out of my bits and pices draw and thought.. " Ah, Perfect "

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....??

Plumb the tank like this...... Fill & Drain thru Fuel Filler Dot

Thanks EP.. beleive it or not she is very easy stable to fly with no unrepsponsiveness being only 3 ch with rudder & elevator,,,, and with no bad tendancies she is also very forgiving to fly when pulling loops and barrel typr rolls ,, and althought the all up flying weight is estimated at 4-6oz over weight she sure dont fly like she's overweight at all actually she is very light on her wheels..... Deffo made the right choice with kitting her out as an electric rather than glow .. Yours being 4 ch version it shud be capable of a b test but id suggest replacing the outside loop with a split s..... anyway happy flting mate

I upgraded from the DX7S to the NX8... more functions than i will ever need & a damnm good radio... I still have my DX7S for heli flying only coz i cant be bothered to set them up on the NX8 and the DX7S also serves as a backup incase the NX8 goes wrong for any reason

My go to fuels are Model Technics Contest 10 more so as I normally run it in my helis or Southern Model Craft 10% Synthetic for all my engines 2 stroke & 4 Stroke,,, & SMF Sport Mix Diesel for my glider.... I did try Rapicon in a heli once...... Hell it turned my heli into a flying smoke machine the fuel was so smokey and nearly choked the whole flightline.... lol

Ive got bout a dozen Taylor plugs in my flight box bought them on ebay recently unbused and still in original packets.. theres also one or two plus in my collection that also have idle bars,, I also use OS No.8 & OS F four stroke plugs

Also if you had to reverse the throttle servo so as to get the throttle working the correct way round you MUST rebind the TX to the RX so as to reset the throtle failsafe for it to close the throttle shud failsafe kick in for any reason otherwise without rebinding after reversing the servo it will go to full throttle when failsafe kicks in which wud be incorrect failsafe operation

Cud also be aliens or those pesky litle green goblins to be totally honest Ron who the heck knows anymore.......and in the words of Mulder & Scully in the X Files.. " The Truth Is Out There ........ Somewhere ".....

Ok yes while that can be seen or read as a statement I agree there however the section of my post you clipped as above is not misleading in any way or form which while I respect ur view that which i was tlking about in my post is and still remains to be ablsolutely true of what I've seen happen and knows others to have happen and do in upgrading or moving to another make of radio so no what i was saying in my post wasnt and isnt misleading in my honest view.... Moving on now

I can kinda relate there Ron..... There's a particular Spitfire I will be getting next week for my birthday kinda bought for me bu the good little wife... theres 2 versions... The VQ Models Spitfire which is distributed by Macgreggor but unfortunately they have no idea as to future stock as they have no oreders for any at this time,, and the second is the Nexa Spitfire distributed ny Motion RC which both appear to be the same model although I cant find a uk retailer that either stcks or can get the Nexa Spit... so I will have to order it direct from Motion RC which is based in the Netherlands just to get one ( pictured below ) and yes although i have in the past built the odd one or two models my self from either plan or kit.... I'm no builder and much prefer the ARTF type kits or I buy many models seconhand I hate building Ive never been any good at woodwork so not being a builder myself I dont fully class myself as a true RC modeller.... more an Rc Flier
