[Converting Precedent Hi Boy 2]

don't use servo tray supplied

fit servos last to help you with c.g. (move forwards)

battery in tank bay, should be fine (may need a little lead)

wont need flaps, will land a treat

[What's been your best model or moment/s in 2013]

club competition days (touch n go, limbo etc). magic, laughing all day.

monthly meetings outdoors, take orders for chippy. (not been rained off all year)

better attended, bit of flying, still get business done, guests welcome, new members.

[Soar 40 from HK]

not that great with electric stuff bob,

just wondered why use 3cell on ic ?

seems like another link in the chain that could fail

[Soar 40 from HK]

I've happily used 3S packs without a separate receiver pack and never had a problem in 7 years of flying.

on a model with a glow engine in?

[to prime or not to prime ....]

use red primer first?

give you a nice base to spray finish on

[New FPV rules effective March 2014]

you confuse me bandit, 1000 foots too high and you want to impose return to home.

regulations have just been relaxed, get yourself off flying

[Is 35Mhz dead? (Availability issues).]

read your profile out of curiosity phil

you've too much time on your hands

you should get yourself a hobby

[Second build project]

you don't need a woodpack nigel, if you've already built a junior sixty, building a high wing funfly will be a doddle for you. will suit electric well also.

[Just a bit at a time.]

I think you'll find they are not actually tree's

they are ambush's

[Is 35Mhz dead? (Availability issues).]

how about a different angle? we've never had it so good play your lp's at home roger , cd's for your car.

if your club has 50 members, must be lots of 35 gear available, just try asking at your field.

edf's are fine on 35mgz, so are petrols, if your having problems its your installation

enjoy your flying, listen your favourite album on way home

[Second build project]

yes nigel loads, spacewalker is a good intro to low wingers,i think sig do a nice kit. its a nice looker and very forgiving to fly. tucano's look and fly great, bit of a step up from a junior 60 though. have you considered going to a 4 channel high winger as the next step? again there are loads to choose from

[Is 35Mhz dead? (Availability issues).]

I think its great. very rare you clash on peg board now. see rx's and xtals for sale quite often

at price they are offered at you could stock up with some extras

im still using a jr 9x best box I've ever held. I also like the ariel, bit of ribbon on, use to check on wind

[Wing skinning - what would you use]

profilm is superb and very strong, also a great range of colours

your solartex should stick to sheeted surfaces, put soft brush on hoover make sure its dust free

[Fret Saw or Coping Saw]

your welcome ian

[Fret Saw or Coping Saw]

I wouldn't fret about it im sure you'll cope with either

[BMFA Membership Fees 2014]

I disagree percy, for £15 you can get coverage upto £5m on an individual basis. my car insurance cot me £30 less than last years, I am all for us being in bmfa, as we are stronger as a group. I think the bmfa charge us plenty. on a similar point I find it very strange that non flyers,and non bmfa members are given a vote on the bmfa survey, regarding the national flying ,heritage , centre. so people who have no stake get a vote on something that may increase our fees. odd.

[hello folks]

thanks folks, would post some pictures.

shall have to learn how first.

[Hi folks hope you can help]

there are loads of good artf trainers about, have a look at phoenix canary trainer, good price well made.

get one built and join a club, will save you money being among lads who fly already, lots of good second hand gear about in clubs. learn to fly first, then build something from scratch. your first one usually has a hard life.

[hello folks]

hi folks

firstly my apologies to Jamie, for butting in. i'm a novice on p.c's and messed up. anyway my names john, I fly with don valley in south yorks. been with them 10 years. flown loads of stuff as I got a bit obsessed. just finishing a global r.c su26 off with dle 30 in. also building a 1/4 scale nieuport 17 from balsa u.s.a. plan, just the cowl and struts to do. then its onto roundels etc which im not looking forward to, scale details I find difficult to do.

[Are you or will you be building from a traditional kit or plan?]

I love artf's had loads of great ones, its not easy to find decent kits now though

I'll agree. It isn't just a case of going to the LMS any more, but there are lots of them still out there. Flair, DB Models, Mick Reeves, to name but 3 and that is not including the availability of "short" kits. Many of which are produced from old kit plans. You can also get your own kit made up by several kit cutters, from your own supplied plan.

kevinb.

yes kevin had most of Flair scout series, built loads of D.B. never had a bad one. would buy mick reeves fw 190d but he told me he no longer do's it. have a fw 190 plan and kit upstairs cut by belair. would be good to see some more company's producing kits though.

[hi from swansea]

hello folks

john, from don valley mfc south Yorkshire

been flying 10 years, newcomer to computers though, so im still a novice

been browsing forum and thought, this looks good, why not join

so here I am.

[How do you react when you break a model?]

learn from the mistake I made, all my crashes have been my fault .

as long as no one or property got hurt, its just a bit of wood.

never make excuses, just join in with the banter

[What type of aircraft do you fly the most?]

simple, anything that puts a smile in my face

[Be honest, do you set the fail safe?]

I fly i.c. answer is always. throttle to tick over, it hopefully would bring my model down within field, no guarantees in life, but if you've got it, use it.

battery could fail etc is irrelevant. its simple to set up, use it
