[Greenacres June Fly-In - what models are you taking ?]

Question relating to travelling, are there any roads to avoid travelling from Doncaster ...ooop north roadworks etc ?

John

[Building ? or Flying? during the Blooming Football!!]

Never saw it Rich I was building

Will watch a bit tonight though

John

[4 stroke advice needed please]

Ditto WF. F plug and a bit of nitro

John

[John's Dawn Flyer...(more likely to be noon flyer)]

Had wattmeter on, it shows 290 w (motor is 375) and 26amp

This is on a 375w motor 2200 mah 3s lipo 60 amp esc..on an apc 12x6 prop

Is this about right or should I go different on prop ?

John

[John's Dawn Flyer...(more likely to be noon flyer)]

Got up nice and early, do some final checks before I go field can't get bullets to fit motor on esc, 1/2 hour later I realise I put male ends in for safe keeping when I soldered females on It's not good this getting old lark.

So I plug it all in to set throttle range on esc....can't get out of programme mode ??? read instructions try 3 times ..nope still can't do it.

Leave it and have cuppa.... this happened with Pushycat, what did I do ?

Simple....plug esc into throttle port on rx NOT the battery one

John p.s. its raining

Only just spotted it, C.G. seems to be well forward on the plan 48 mm from leading edge

Did you lads find this o.k. or did you feel it was nose heavy?

John

[John's Dawn Flyer...(more likely to be noon flyer)]

It will Phil thanks, let you fly it Sunday

John

[John's Dawn Flyer...(more likely to be noon flyer)]

All done balances with no lead, I used some fishing swivels for rigging wires, post is not glued in so it will transport easier, need to find a lady pilot for Sunday. Take her for sea trials after work tomorrow

Congratulations on passing Phil

John

[Well the sukhoi is getting there]

No mate

Made a good job though, Is it a keeper ?

John

[Maddog Designs Hammerhead 620]

Cracking colour scheme Tony, you made a great job of it

John

p.s. nice kit Richie

[Be careful out there]

Agree entirely, attitude and example. Members also need to play their part, things wont work if you just leave it to committees. We are mostly adults, we shouldn't need telling. The kids need telling very rarely.

John

[Summer's here! Who's been flying?]

Nice Cub Mike, love the Sukhoi in Will Curtiss's Honda colours

John

[Darran a Dawn Flyer (A first ever build)]

I use plywood Darren, hardwood always splits for me because it's such a small piece.

John

[Build Log - Dereck Woodwards 'Amy']

I agree with Bob, nice job and go with the paint finish, no matter how good a job you do of film it will eventually get lifted by fuel.

John

[FW 190A &190D from the same basic model]

190 A has the short nose ERF, so makes a hatch tricky. I would be looking at a removable canopy on both versions. It will involve some clever thinking and building whichever way you go, so I would aim at what would be the most user friendly solution

[Wortley Hall Sheffield....Display June29th]

Cheers Phil

John

[J!VE trim issues]

I know you said 5 clicks of right, but is this to level up? or is the right aileron up ?

Could you be holding right rudder in to steer on take off and not releasing quick enough ?

John

[crashing in one night .whats your record!!!!!]

He's your mate Ben, it's up to you to make him feel better

Fly a bit lower

John

[John's Dawn Flyer...(more likely to be noon flyer)]
