    Neighbour gave me mine in 1976. Soldered my sub c nicads used in f/e boat racing for 2 decades. Still ok !✅Colin

    I fly a Miss Wind 50 on 5s (small field ) and the lipo is as far back as I can get it ! Both servos at rear. No lead. Perfectly happy with it like that. Colin

    Ditto as above ✅

    Went out at 9 with 2 UMX ✈️Yak 54 lasted 2 secs as both lipos have gone u/s. 😱😱Mig 15 was better but these are also starting to suffer ⚰️⚰️⚰️Patch not as waterlogged as I expected but I don’t have any jumbo wheel planes. Colin

    Having received my lipo , I’ve ordered a Goosky 🚁, no postage. Taking a gamble on duty. E Mail today says it’s on its way ! 🤞🤞🤞

    I’ve given up with these tiny useless needle like plugs/ sockets. My 🚁and UMX planes give constant problems with non connectivity. And so changed to A30 connectors from Hobby Rc. Even my usmx P51 which has been unusable for 2 yrs responded instantly to the changeover 🥳🥳🥳Colin

    Ditto. Only been out 26 times. Too wet, too windy or both. Too hot 🥵! Colin

    Thanks John. It sounds like a good winter chucker for a soaked winter field. I have the FMS 64mm Avanti which flies on rails. I’m a 9am flyer and unfortunately our field is too wet at that time to get it off soaking wet grass, so it’s back in its box for last 3 yrs. The fact it’s slower is handy as the patch has frequent space limitations. Might ask SWMBO to get it as a Xmas present. Thanks again ! Colin

    John Lee . I spy an Arrows Avanti. I fancy one. Impressions please. Ta ! Colin

    Had one about 10 yrs ago. Iron levels in blood were zero and as mother died of oesophageal cancer ,feared the worst. Had something in vein which did nothing as far as I was concerned! Think poking my eyes out with hot needle would have been preferable 😂😂😱😱🥰Doc got into my stomach to find gastritis and rolling hiatus hernia. Omaprazole prescribed. Best of luck. Colin

    😂😂I meant between the boat I wanted to overtake and the bouy Phil ! I remember taking the set to Hounslow when the Rx failed. Idris fixed it and when I returned to collect it , it failed again ! He threw it down the workshop with lots of swearing! Got a new rx. Now I’ve got a 14 yr old DX9 that’s done more work than the sun total of 54 yrs of tx’s. Faultless!! All the best and I hope it serves you well. Colin

    So that’s my old FLC Duette Phil ? Marvellous job ! Looks as good as the day I purchased it in 71/72 😂! It was superb quality with the wire wound pots and Swiss servo motors! Changed it eventually for a Sprengbrook Brand set where the servos were much quicker and made multi racing more precise overtaking on the inside of bouys ! Happy days indeed. Well done ! Colin

    RN couldn’t keep those Centaurus reliable. Think the Sea Fury might be getting P&W or a Wright ????
  16. Colin Carpenter
    Common fault as the model gains flying hours. It can be made solid again but the foam will still compress and the mount will continue to move until flying the model seems as though you have a radio problem. I changed the fuselage once but the new one eventually went the same way until 🔥🔥🔥🔥Nice flyer though. Colin

    Yes Toto , my UMX are taped along a central seam. Easy to dismantle if u need to change a Rx. Ditch the SAFE if u can. Horrible! Keep it close ! They disappear quickly! Colin

    Max Thrust Riot Toto. Been on the market for years and spares have always been availabile . In constant use in my club , 🔥🔥🔥and repaired continuously! Taught myself to fly on mine. Airframe still original. Colin

    I had one of those Yaks. Liked it ! Until one winter’s morning the fog crept up behind and to the side of me. I hadn’t noticed until I flew into it , and that was that 🔥🔥. It looked worse than yours !😂😂😂😩😩😩Colin
  20. Colin Carpenter
    Ditto ! One 4s lipo. See what happens in due course ???? Colin
  21. Colin Carpenter
    No but hilarious! Colin

    Toto . Go with the wireless option. Easy to set up and use. I’ve used it with various Spekkie tx’s. No problem, no wire. Colin
  23. Colin Carpenter
    Well done Toto. I luv RCG !!🥰🥰Colin
  24. Colin Carpenter
    Have a look at RCGroups. Removing the internal sd card seems to solve problems??? Colin
  25. Colin Carpenter
    Well done Nick. Great shots. Colin
