Unstable model
john stones 1 - Moderator replied to Glenn Philbrick's topic in All Things Model Flying
Applying side and downthrust is a no brainer for me, you've applied some but was that enough ? Flicky can cover a few things, c.g, amount of movement for example, how's it behave throttled back ? -
Frankly, I reckon if your Yak flys well and price is good It'll sell, It's a toy aeroplane and for me some folk take themselves too seriously, not buying a Yak will change nowt, other than you won't have a Yak.

May 2025 RCM&E format and print change
john stones 1 - Moderator replied to leccyflyer's topic in RCM&E Magazine
It's your money so you're entitled to an opinion. Been a magazine buyer all my life, much prefer it to online sources, we have thread after thread about the pressures modern life has put the hobby under (some running as I type), same with model shops and flying sites, and the magazine. Mags running a freebie over more than one issue is nothing new, can't say I begrudge it, they're trying to make a living and some profit. Support what we have, or as seen elsewhere and often, it may go, consequences of that are obvious. -
Fouga magister 1/4.5 moulded from scratch

Flys like it looks then, been a pleasure following the build Dirk. Congratulations. 👍 P.S. Nice work on the camera. -
Don Valley mfc may be under threat, we have something going off in the background which if it happens may well end our days at the current site, the opposite of "Green". Folk do like stuff and they do like it pronto and delivered free if possible, someone is seeing our site as a money making opportunity in this area, Councils seeing it as a job creator, so despite nesting/breeding Deer, Hares, Rabbits, Weasels, Frogs, Toads, Newts, Snakes, Buzzards, Kestrel, Sparrowhawks, Owls, Foxes, here we are. Green Agenda, give your head a wobble. I find it's best not to comment unless you have the facts, and maybe those might not fit your current hate target.

Ultrasonic cleaners.

Thanks RR, even the one I posted is large enough for a small glass container, and I can't follow the logic of reusing a cleaning fluid. -

I figured that out Paul, I'm a Yorkshireman, how about my question re fire risk ? -

I don't follow ED, why would solvent in the cleaner be a fire risk and in a container not ? -

Thanks gents, food for thought. -
Anyone use one ? I want one to do carb cleans on petrol engines, one I fancy is low end of price range. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ultrasonic-Cleaner-Phniti-Jewellery-Retainer/dp/B0D2W5RBF8/ref=asc_df_B0D2W5RBF8?tag=bingshoppinga-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=80814295551618&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=41110&hvtargid=pla-4584413765991744&psc=1

Would you reinforce this?
john stones 1 - Moderator replied to Witterings's topic in All Things Model Flying
Yes, use a better quality piece of ply, then I lay in some wing bandage type f/glass with epoxy to spread the load. -
Signs of CoG too rearward ???
john stones 1 - Moderator replied to Witterings's topic in All Things Model Flying
Being as we can set up to our own taste, c.g has quite a big range, if it's not pleasant when you increase throttle or work the elevator, then you've an issue, that's assuming you've not to much movement on control surfaces, we're all different and finding your own settings adds much to the days flying. -

Thanks John, hands up, all those who took George out his team before the race. 🖐️ -
Yes, I watch them over on iPlayer as well Matty. I hope you enjoy it, it works the grey matter as well as the body and even when the catch rate is poor the surroundings add to the day. The days of sitting on a wicker box are long gone, anglings moved on a lot, comfy padded chairs with adjustable height, arm rests, commercial venues aplenty, coarse and fly/game, parking close by, cafe, toilets onsite, hard standing in each peg, rod license is cheap and day tickets. https://www.anglingdirect.co.uk/?msclkid=dfd57fa08d2a1bc649a817ea28816835&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Generic&utm_term=Fishing Tackle&utm_content=Fishing Tackle
