  1. Regarding the elevator throw, would it be beneficial for me to use a reduced throw on the servo as I have not fitted mine yet? Nigel
  2. I use a standard car brake light bulb and discharge each cell individually via the balance lead. This way there is no danger of a healthy cell trying to reverse charge a defective cell. To date I have had no puffing or overheating of the cells.
  3. They (B-N) have just received an order for 13 hydrogen/fuel cell Islanders according to the news. Yes, the noise level in the rear seats of the Trislander was originally above the safety threshold.
  4. Just found an email from the BMFA about the emails from the CAA landing in the junk folder. The BMFA email was also in the junk folder!
  5. Found it in the junk folder, came 25th October from the CAA!
  6. Anybody seen their Flier ID issued by the BMFA yet?
  7. I've been thinking of doing what Jon has suggested (no flap mix) using a Flight Mode on my Taranis Radio but not yet had the time to do it. Something to do in the dark winter evenings perhaps. Nige
  8. Ron, has the tendency to dive when full power is applied gone away with different props etc. Nigel
  9. I'm way behind you boys with my build, but I will be fitting a S8R Receiver. The basic programming is already done so I can do motor/prop combination testing
  10. To get the wing leading edge elliptical profile Ron, did you end up with a sharpish nose radius?
  11. Taking my time also. My first real build for a very long time and don't want to mess it up in a big way. I'm following Ron's Vlog and Richards build notes.
  12. Ron's right about not applying too much brown gorilla glue. I've never used it before and obviously applied too much to the TE closing member and nothing seemed to happen until after about an hour and then loads extruded out of the joint and tipped over the balsa strip slightly even though it was secured with tape. Still, easy to rectify. Will know next time I use i! Nigel
  13. Ah, there is only a trailing edge set to fit!
  14. Good Luck with the eye injection Eric, my Wife has just gone off for hers. Fortunately, mine have stopped. Do the leading and trailing edge closing members come separately as I can only find one wing set? Nigel
  15. The C130J was the UK variant with the multibladed prop. Marshalls used one as a test bed for the A400m engine.
