  1. Just picked up an NX8 from a club member giving up. Almost new. Own a DX9 and DX6. Cannot in all honesty see any real difference worth shouting about. I pinch the sticks and my fingers catch on the switches. Don’t on other two sets. Can’t see why tho ???? The 9 is an early Mk1 and the NX is just insurance really. Colin
  2. I’ve found paint wipes with a bit of spit cleans up well. But sometimes some foams just darken. One chap emulsioned his Acromaster and it looked very good !!Colin
  3. Sorry to hear that news. Wishing you a full recovery! I know too many folk that have had strokes of some form , some younger than you. Colin
  4. Got out this morning in deepest Somt. Fog ,fog and more fog ! Patch a quagmire! Teaching an old chap on buddy on his Riot . First time. Fog started to clear and sun up there. It kept moving!!😱😱How I got Riot down after it flew into a fog patch that suddenly appeared I just can’t think ?🤯🤯UMX Mossie still rubbish despite adding lead up front !Colin
  5. Had a few minutes on one of those Hughes this week , indoors. Impressed. ! Don’t like the tiny Tx tho. Shame u can’t bind to Spekkie like my Goosky. Colin
  6. Pull up the manual online. Drawings are there that show removal. Screwed. Colin
  7. Web search says inhibit ch 5.
  8. Thanks Leccy. I’ve got HK 300 lipo in there , not significantly different to original . Found I had to use rudder all the time ! Haven’t checked cg. Must do that. Long grass saved it on the tip stalls. 😂😂😂. Yes wings look about to clap !😂😂 The elevators and rudder are paper thin and bend easily. Ta again Colin
  9. Perfect morning for AS3X chuckies . Bright no wind. New 12 yrs old Parkzone Mossie UMX was a real handful. Tip stalling constantly. Got a new non flying members Riot up no problem. Tried quick flight with him but buddying will b necessary. No time for that today !🥺🥺Colin
  10. Sebart Miss Wind hatch opens backwards from the nose and is secured by a 2mm bolt 1/2 inch from the prop. It’s got an XT60 isolation plug on the side for obvious reasons ! 🤯🤯🤯🤯😤😤😤🩸🩸🏥🏥. Colin
  11. Plus one for Poundland in the small bottles ! Colin
  12. I use something similar from HK using XT 60s. On quite a few models. Balsa and foam. In use for probably a decade. No problems! Colin
  13. I’ve got RC Flight Log app on I Phone. Records aircraft , lipos , tx’s. Just a note of each flight with which lipo , tx. That’s enough info for me. My wife knows a lady who writes down everything daily 😱😱Not for me I’m afraid! App was a quid from memory! Colin
