Thanks peep's for the replies / links, sorry to hear about the passing of adrian, i will do some digging and see how it goes, watch this space........... Regards Ade.

As above, i want to build my first plane, and i want it to be a 109e. I have epo foam planes (parkzone sukhoi 26m and a edf 64mm duct hawk jet) is there a electric kit on the market? I have looked around and read threads but not found electric kit. I have made balsa kit before many moons ago when i was 11 it was rubber band powered. It flew to some degree lol. So im not a total novice, time is no problem so i Will take lots of it to build. Any ideas? Im looking for 36inch span or something like that. Cheers. Ade

jean michelle jarre floats my boat lol and fleetwood mac to a lesser extent........hi and welcome Ade.

Lol, thats what i meant Just Installed Steel Armor into laptop, it covers 3 of the biggest 1980's conflicts, it looks very confusing, still....i like a challenge. It's something different to do whilst the rain falls......can't get out flying just yet, there was a double bed stood on end in my 'Hangar' (glorified shed) so i could not get access to my wrecks....erm i mean planes.....until now. got some T-45 EDF Jet nose straightning to get on with.

Excellent. Bet you have some stories to tell. I always assumed the 'box on the barrel' was somekind of 'muffler' now i know its a collector of waste particles, left over when the cannon discharges. Very clever. So much to learn, so little time.

Will it run on my windows 8?

Posted by andy watson on 16/09/2013 08:08:28: World of tanks is a pretty good game- I have racked up close to 3k battles on there.......... I wonder what I could have achieved if I had spent that time productively!! Hi Andy, i tried to 'download' this, it started to download and the file size said 5345,235 that's massive so i cancelled the download after 3 hours!!!!. am i missing something?

Posted by Mr.B. on 15/09/2013 20:08:56: We went to the tank museum when we were on honeymoon! 19 years ago. Although Mrs B does stop short of standing in a wind swept field watching me fly and making appreciative coments. Funny girl. Congratulations Ade. Nice one Mr.B and Thank You. We had a good ish time away, her poor health stopped us doing what we wanted, never mind, its a marathon....not a sprint

Posted by Steve Hargreaves - Moderator on 14/09/2013 11:23:59: Wasn't the Panzer V more commonly known as the Panther Tank (if my memory of Aifix tanks from 1973 serves me correctly....) The Panzer (classed as a 'Light Tank' was generally 20-30 tonne machines where as the Panther was classed as a 'Medium Tank' 45+ tonne and up. very similar looking machines...The 'Tiger' was classed as a 'Heavy Tank' and was the dog's. I have been reading my new 'Tank Literature' books lol.................. Ade.

Thanks guys, perhaps i should have said GAME not SIM lol..........1st Person Shooters / RPG etc....Fantastic scale replicas chaps and great video to, i like (as well as flying planes/heli's) to play pc / xbox / ps2 / ps1 games as well, Mostly WWII games, The Medal of honour series and the like.....also sci-fi Half Life and so on.......as i visited the tank museum Dorset (whilst on my honeymoon ...... and yes she enjoyed it as much as me what a lass ) i suddenly thought 'I've not seen a GOOD tank SIM/GAME for years and thought i'd ask here, Yes steel legions looks good as well, I just been to town and managed to pick up a couple of second hand games......Call of Duty 2 & Call of Duty (World at War) Both have Tank Sections in, so i'm going to be a happy chappie this evening. I was simply wondering if any of you chaps had played a specific tank 'Game' or very similar and could offer advice erm........'Tank's for the replies' ............did you see what i did there? lol......................... Take it easy Kind Regards Ade.

Thanks Sarge....i got it sorted now, clicked on the wrong part......should keep me busy for a bit.... I went to the Tank Museum mid week, BRILLIANT!! (fast show stylie)

Thanks for that, my Mcafee site advisor strongly advises me NOT to download the game......boo hoo

Thought i'd ask as i'm on here quite a bit, i'm also into Tanks, WWI WWII up to date etc.... i was wondering if anybody on here knows of a good 'Tank SIM' weather its for PC or another Video games consul?..........its a long shot....but if you don't ask......... Kind Reagrds Ade.

BEB, Percy etc.....Totally agree, it would be great to have the experience of a trainer at my shoulder but like i say in my earlier threads, i literally get an hour to myself a week.....and thats not a alotted time its just as and when.....so at the moment, i cannot 'book' a time to be at a club.....one day though

Fantastic....... what video editing are you using?.....superb......and well done. i love the idea of making an autog just need some spare time now KR Ade.

Personally, i keep well away from pilots flying '3D' i fly heli's myself but sedately as i'm learning, i love to fly them but they do scare the heebeegeebee's outa me, i will never ever progress to 3D as it just doesnt seem right to me, It's just my oppinion and how i feel, i like models to 'fly' like they do full size, i like the way models replicate normal flight, there is something very special watching say a model lancaster amble around a circuit, slow and majesticaly, or say a spit doing a victory roll, just superb, personally i think thats what modeling should be about. Flying something as dangerous as a large heli in all kinds of erattic manouvers.......so close to yourself / others.....what's the fun in that? jusat as well get a razorbalde edged chainsaw and throw it all over the place, thats basically what it amounts too. controll can be lost at any time weather it be human error or mechanicle failure......jeez what what a waste of life, Sorry for the expression of my feelings, but this person has lost his life so needlessly, i do think we should have an unwritten law that if flying 3D or erraticaly then AT LEAST put a good DISTANCE between yourself and your model. Ade..... catcha later....im getting married today. FLY SAFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it could be you next.

It was a 700 size nitro heli, i try to fly a 450 size (when weather allows) but to be honest it scares me when it spools up, its SO powerfull and thats only a 450! i have been to a site in hampshire to learn / watch the guys in action with their heli's same size as the accident one, and wow very impressive but that makes me look the other way sometimes when the guys do 'TIC-TOC's' within 15 ft of themselves!......i have stood next to pilots in awe.....trying to overcome my fear and to an extent it has helped, but this has just brought it home just how dangerous these machines are....they are not toys. My concern is complacency, some pilots are so very good indeed, they fly closer and closer to themselves, i don't think its a macho 'hey look how good i am' kinda thing, just because they are so adept at flying their machines the 'Caution' slips down the safety scale behind skill and pushing the boundaries of ability, that's when accidents happen. It's so sad and my thoughts are with his loved ones and family. safety FIRST ALWAYS. Ade.

oh dear, thats terrible horrific for his dad too

No problem BEB, i hear ya loud and clear, and yes your right, the thing is, i got the first EPO JET for about £20 and i had all the electrics, so as i have been flying the sukhoi 26m micro plane well enough from day 1 i gave it a go and i know in my heart of hearts that i can fly it (the jet) its when i try to push it into verticles & loops etc (into the sun) when i get into trouble. when i fly it in gentle circuits its fine. I have spent many hours looking & reading about Cub / Pups and TBH i do like the look of them, and will prob buy one in the not to distant future, simply to get some hours under my belt, the jet is fun, it was pennies and has been a good tool for me, yes its a bit fast.....but it also fly's very well at low revs (where i should stay for a while) Thanks for the advise, it's all taken in. i do listen and am very grateful for tips / help.
