    Excellent job Sam. Looking forward to seeing it on the flight-line.

    Traders and buyers always say that this is one of the best swap meets in the area. One guy who had a table for the first time in November said afterwards that he will definitely be back for this one. Great sentiment indeed.

    Lovely flying shots by David A. The blue sky and sunshine really makes a difference to how the colours stand out. Well done Peter.

    Nice to see one of my kits in it's finished state, particularly when an unusual power plant is used. The kit mods worked well Peter. Looks good mate, well done.

    Remember you well Mark, pictured on the front of Radio Modeler with your Redshift powered Curare. How's that for a memory. Hope to meet you in person one day. Best regards Steve

    I buy the Rawlnuts by the 100, always have 3 and 4mm in stock if anybody has any difficulties in obtaining them. Steve

    Likewise as regards the maiden flight. You need some good luck after the year you've had Martyn! Steve

    This has been spoken of throughout the year and arrangements have been made to hold such a meeting near Retford, close to the A1. The day has been chosen to incorporate the Retford MFC Swapmeet in the morning, utilising the same room from around 12.30pm. This has enabled us to have room at a very good rate (read cheap). We will have to vacate the room by 5.00pm, giving us 41/2 hours to discuss matters. Food may be available if people show an interest. Details: Venue: Babworth Road Social Club (postcode DN22 7NJ) Date: Sunday, 1 November 2015 Time: 12.30 to 5.00pm (Swapmeet 9.30 to 12.30pm) If time and light allow, the field is close enough for a late afternoon fly. Hope this is OK to allow a good attendance. Steve (Agenda to follow, please advise of anything you wish to be included) Edited By Steve Dunning on 06/10/2015 21:20:05

    Suffice? I should say more than suffice! Hang on to your hat Andy when that goes off mate. Hopefully see you at Montford Bridge. Steve

    Here we go then Extra Slim. Weight is 7jb 9oz and is powered by an OS 61 that was built with parts from different sources! Pump and carb from a Hanno Special, crankcase and cylinder head from Brandon Ransley and a new piston and liner (61 RF) from Hong Kong. Don't try, Sam Wragg had the last one!!!! Turning a 12 x9 at the moment but could go higher. It's on a Hanno pipe as well. Vertical is now problem and rudder response is very pure, good for getting back on line and not making it obvious! Wings, tail and top deck are balsa veneered foam. Wing and tail put in a vacuum table for curing and adhesion. Cores cut on a Step 4 foam cutter. Fuselage parts cut on a cnc router. Bout it really, oh and fuselage is self jigging. Steve

    Just a rider to complete this blog. After a flying layoff of 9 months, pleased to report that the '60 size was maidened today. Minimal trimming, another 'boring' maiden flight for one of my models from the club secretary! Thumbs were a bit shaky for the first flight but rock solid on the second. Well pleased. Steve
  19. Steve Dunning
    Just to say that I hope you all have a good day. Not able to drive at the moment but I'll be there in spirit! Steve

    Hi Tony Length of manifold is 217mm, just as it came from Weston UK. Steve
  21. Steve Dunning
    What can I say Sam. A fantastic job showing what can be done with care, a little elbow grease and attention to detail. That lead to a to a non-eventful initial flight that proves that all the prep done in the workshop gives a model that is 95% there when taken to the flying field. A couple of Supra Fly 45's have recently had their maiden flights and their owners called them 'boring' because of the lack of any trimming required. The flights did leave them with a big smile on their faces though as I imagined you had Sam after the initial flights with the Arrow. Look forward to seeing it 'in the flesh'. Steve

    I'll measure the pipe length on my OS 45 FSR if it's any help. On a Purple Pipe it runs very sweet with flexible performance in my Supra Fly 45. Steve

    URGENT NOTICE! DUE TO UNFORSEEN CIRCUMSTANCES, IT HAS BEEN NECESSARY TO POSTPONE THIS EVENT TILL LATER IN THE YEAR. SAM WRAGG OFFERS HIS APPOLOGIES FOR THIS.
  24. Steve Dunning
    Just to bring this event back to peoples attention. The date is just under a month away so give this event a go. Link is above.
  25. Steve Dunning
    I had the same idea Martyn and produced CAD plans ready to machine parts and produce foam wings. Look forward to seeing your outcome. Steve
