Thread opened, stick to the topic please.

Threads on hold for now, if you have something to say, say it to a mod via PM.

Will do Paul.

How about we do as Martin asked and move the thread on ? If we don't, mods will end up involved, and no one wants that.

I wouldn't have thought discussing lecky models in the chat to be off topic, no doubt that it has affected I.C sales.

I would agree props can play a large part in noise reduction, also the make and material of it. Not in a position to own or comment on the 4 stroke petrols noise wise ?

We had and still have umpteen glows that make a racket, on stock silencers, lost sites was happening long before petrol came into the mainstream, Petrol seems to get a bad review everytime the subject raises it's head. You'll pay to get a more effective silencer, of that there is no doubt, you'll also pay more for glow fuel, bigger sized glows are greedy, you'll pay for extra lipos as well and the days are long gone when those cost little. Like any subset of our hobby, there'll be pluses and minuses. Mokies, big tiggies, they quiet on stock silencers ? Nope.

Be the usual Crew and hopefully a few new ones Nick.

Not a dig at anyone, just my view on petrol. Does it smell ? Yep, stinks n makes your head spin, then again so does diesel, fuel proofer, dope, epoxy, cyano etc,etc. It's a fire risk ? Yep, no doubt there, but so is glow/diesel fuel, fuel proofer, most of the gubbins we buy and use to build, same with your models, and not to mention lipos that need to be stored in nuclear bunkers to avoid armageddon. ☠️ Noisy things though, unless you shell out for a decent silencer.

Fingers crossed for you Simon. 👍

Sad news, had nothing but good service from JE, I wish them well in whatever the future brings. Is I.C dead ? Nope, and even those not flying it should pray that remains the case, if it goes, numbers will drop, there'll be less of a market choice to offer and takings will lessen, we're losing shops now, that's a threat we don't need.

Incase you didn't know Derek there are some threads in here, may be of use. https://forums.modelflying.co.uk/index.php?/search/&q=flair stearman&quick=1

Some flights got cancelled and some delays experienced, it that big a deal ? Not really read about it, but hopefully no one got injured or worse. Be wildfires/ floods maybe a Volcano erupting and delays on major roads etc, etc.
