    I think the resolution you have selceted is fine, I read them fine, so much so I was lost in the ads!! interesting to see that prices have not really changed for comparable equipment! For example Futaba radio with four servos and nicads for around £200, not a million miles from where we are today. Sorry Robin that wasn't your question was it, but thanks anyway!!

    Afternoon all, So here I am in Malaysia for a month for work and just had to find something to give me a fix. So here it is, a cheepy DFD F161 3.5 channel, it flies great around the hotel room (ok its a very large hotel room....a month away and all that) flight times a good 10 -15 mins pretty impressive from 3.7v 600mAh battery. I defy anyone to have more fun with less that £20 and its got a proper Lipo with mains charger! (incidently the blue one in the back ground broke, during a major incident with the Standard lamp, so I brought another today.....well its only £20 and it will do for spares!) Ok they are very fragile as I found out but they are great fun and I honestly think they are good for beginners. So the question is how many of you guys have them, tried them or have even more than one, all the best Steve Edited By Steve Goodwin on 10/05/2014 14:37:46

    Ditto the above, deffo spray from the inside, take care though it takes longer to dry than traditional spray paints, I found out the hard way, dirty great finger print on my lovely tinted canopy......doh.

    Completely agree but my LMS has gone and the nearest LMS is the place I buy fuel and that's about all, it's the sign of the times my friend. The trick is to order enough to justify the £6 delivery it's a game we will all have to play very soon........we're dooooomed...!!!!

    Hi Steve, have you tried SLEC a great online site that is just like popping into your LMS and cheep to! Just my opinion, all the best, Steve
  14. Steve Goodwin
    Kevin, did you manage to get one in the end? I would hate to think they run out because us lot got there first.
  15. Steve Goodwin
    Just ordered mine £14.99 as you say and I got free delivery too, smashing. Thank Kevin, nice one!!

    One of my earliest modelling memories is of my dads Veron ( I think) Nipper, small CL model with a Frog up front. it looks very similar to the Phantom Does anybody else remember the Nipper?

    Chances are that after 10 + years of storage the engine may well need another running in period. I would suggest soaking it to "free" things up a little and run it in again. I'm sure Just Engines can provide you with the information you need to sort things out. Good luck

    TWS, I have the same tx and a model with flaps on the rotary switch, for me, the switch is off at 12 o'clock therefore flaps are not used. I also use the analogy, turn the switch to 1 o'clock the flaps are partially open or down, the more the time the more flap. It works for me. Hope that helps

    Ohhhh...David, you have a very good point there, I think I need a lay down I would like a Wot 4 and I suppose on low rates with a buddy........Mmm I used to be indecisive.......I'm not sure now.
  23. Steve Goodwin
    Mmmm......I'm not convinced that the Wot trainer is in anyway a bad model, no one here has said negative things about it, just differences of opinion. I suppose you pays your money and make your choice?
  24. Steve Goodwin
    So, I read a review last night which didn't make the Wot shine, the guy was testing it along side the Seagull Boomerang and, OK it is his opinion, the Seagull won hands down for, construction, build quality and flight. I think I'm going to cancel the whole order and have a think and maybe get some more suggestions. I want this next decision to be the right one. I'm fed up with leaving the flying field with a broken model.

    Posted by Stevo on 06/04/2014 19:56:30: "There is not a bottomless pit according to SWMBO" Is this guy for real? SWMBO? Wheres the challenge of getting that new shiny model delivered out of sight and explaining it away as "a bargain from one of last year's shows" ? Are you man or mouse Steve? (Me? I prefer cheese any day...) "Alrite you lot, calm down" Ooops... we did get carried away didn't we. OK so we recommend a low wing trainer for your OS46FX. (Delivered when SWMBO is at work or the Derbey and Joan club...!) Steveo, this did make me chuckle, nice one, but you see this is the clever bit, SWMBO has broken them daft things ladies use to get straight hair thingy's and they are £100 a pop, so bingo no need to sneak it in, although I have done that on many occasions.
