  1. Manouver, indicate, look.well that's how it seems to be round here.
  2. Wotto chaps, in the toilet at a sports centre yesterday and saw a poster that said ' you have a one in eight chance of prostate cancer,' That's odds of 87:5 to 1. That you won't have a problem.
  3. Well,that was easy, Kashmir, the mighty Zeppelin. Take five, Dave Brubeck African sanctus, David fanshawe.
  4. Not protective I know, but I recently painted my worktop with 3 coats of white emulsion. It has not only brightened up the whole room but also made it an awful lot easier to keep an eye on the bits and pieces.
  5. Had something similar happen to me, I then decided that DIY was over. Gsi is now my choice.gsi? Get someone in.
  6. I fly with multiplex, I chose to use it purely on the basis that it felt comfortable in my hands. I think that the way a transmitter sits in your hands is an overlooked factor in choosing equipment.
  7. Wotto Stuart, I have one of these which I fly indoors.it is fitted out with the electricwingman set up. I do however use a 2s 300 battery. It is a really good model, it is nice and floaty, we fly in a 2 court hall so things can get a bit hairy, the only modification I have made is to put v struts on the tailplane to stiffen it, this made a lot of difference.much easier to assemble than a clik r2, and a lot more resilient when whacked in air to air collisions. Have fun, you won't regret it.
  8. Possibly a very cold battery, not delivering enough power.as you apply up elevator the tail goes down, drag goes up, model doesn't.
  9. Sorry chaps, but they do have decent engines,saito,os laser ect.it's almost that running the things and adjusting is what they enjoy.curing misfires that no one else hears, leaning out, richening up, trying new plugs.checking with tachos, changing fuel mixes, the list seems endless.
  10. There is one thing about I/c engines that has not been mentioned, that is that quite a lot of people seem to enjoy fiddling about with them. Both clubs that I belong to seem to have a bunch of people who don't fly a lot but are forever running motors and adjusting this that and the other.i am sure that is what they enjoy rather than actually flying.
  11. What's the best or worst advice you have received about the hobby. The best I had was to fly when I wanted to,not when I could.
  12. How about an insight into those incredible f3p aerobatic models?
  13. Just an thought on this subject, does anyone read a photograph magazine and if so,what information is presented?
  14. Extra slim, where did you get the plans from?
  15. Thanks for that Andy,now I have an idea where to go I'll pop along next time I'm down that way.
  16. Has anyone flown this site, and if so where in the park is it?
  17. A junkers ju52 flew over maldon yesterday afternoon,fairly low, the noise was fantastic.shortly before that a spitfire.
  18. Wotto tommy,yes, the open day is still on.
