I'm not proposing that any club takes such a reckless course of action, I merely wanted an informed reply when I am asked the question at our AGM! Steve J gave me a perfect answer. Edited By Chris Balmforth on 22/10/2019 19:09:41

Thanks Steve J, that's helpful information.

It's my club's AGM on Thursday and I just KNOW we will be asked this question: under the newly revised CAA regulations would it be possible for members of a flying club to donate aircraft to the club, and the club to register as operator of them all with just one operator ID? On the surface this is no different to a commercial enterprise acting as operator.

Thanks for the suggestion Geoff, but I'm not too keen on sub-1m wingspan planes. What I really want is a better-built Acrowot!

I've just crashed my beloved Acrowot foamy yet again and this time I'm looking at replacing instead of re-building. Although I just love the way the Acrowot flies on rails I've never been too impressed with the average build quality and tight battery space. Can anybody recommend a good quality foam plane which would give me a similar feel and performance on a 2200 3s LiPo?

I too have one of these and like it a lot. However I have a problem in that the rudder linkage is stuck! Luckily it is in the straight-ahead position so I can still fly. When I remove the servo arm the servo turns fine so it's not that, but I still can't move the servo rod or the rudder. The mechanism is out of reach inside the fuselage and as far as I can see can't be reached without major surgery. Has anybody else experienced this? Any suggestions?
