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

Not in Somerset. Mud everywhere!💦💦Colin -
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

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 -

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 -

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 -

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 -

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
