An Air Atlantique one came to Sandown in the late 1980's when NDN Aircraft were looking at replacing the engines with P&W PT6 turbines.
I can also remember a Blackburn Beverly coming in regularly in the mid 1960's to Sandown Airport.

Wouldn't BP Energol be mineral oil? I once used a mineral oil mix (Mercury I think) in my ED Bee and it lost its compression.
-
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?

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.

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.

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!

Anybody seen their Flier ID issued by the BMFA yet?

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.

Ron, has the tendency to dive when full power is applied gone away with different props etc.

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
-
To get the wing leading edge elliptical profile Ron, did you end up with a sharpish nose radius?
-
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.

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!

Ah, there is only a trailing edge set to fit!
-
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?

The C130J was the UK variant with the multibladed prop. Marshalls used one as a test bed for the A400m engine.

Glued the doublers to the fuse sides this afternoon. Hope to sync in with Ron's VLOG next week.

Yes, its 6mm which fits my 3548 motor Richard. I know because the kit arrived safely today. Watched the Parcelforce van go by our bungalow this morning so thought not today and went out to fetch the dog food. When we got back there was a note on the doormat saying parcel at the local Post Office. So, picked it up and ready to go!

What size is the hole in the spinner disc Richard?

Do you guys use chargers that you can set the final charging voltage or do you monitor and stop at the charger at the appropriate time?
-
I struggle to get 50+ cycles out of my 2200maH lipos which are charged at 1C and have a very easy life.

We had those on the NDN Firecracker. Don't remember what effect they had though.
