  1. dead ant dead ant de de de de de etc
  2. pointers on doing the job ? run quick, all clubs are the same I think, hardcore of lads who'll put their hands up I think it's a team effort, no need to delegate to treasurer or secretary. they know what's required I don't see anything wrong with chairman getting his hands dirty either, we all pay same fee I don't agree he needs to be first point of contact, work comes first. the jobs voluntary if he can't count on rest of committee plus welfare officer, safety officers, examiners and instructors to chip in , he's no chance. treasurer delivers our bad news B.E.B. "your subs are due lads" as you've all said. Lead by example and represent all your members p.s. ours is 2 year limit, a good one always comes back for more.
  3. any chance you may just be getting plug too wet Luca ?
  4. its's not sad Colin it's doing your own thing i'm all done ready to glue on fuzz and booms all out of bits box except 1 sheet of quarter
  5. I find it complicated as well Ernie you have my sympathy always put a prop on your laser, or you wont be able to flick it test run motors prop off is o.k. when attempting to fly always put back on
  6. Posted by Stephen Grigg on 16/01/2014 19:40:16: Ours mows the lawn and is very possessive about looking after the strip. He is also brilliant at finding lost models. will he let you fly off it
  7. are you going to put some bold stripes under the wing Colin ? being as other lads are having problems seeing it your "gubbins" should help when your knife edging
  8. sorry Colin we posted at same time, thank you excuse my bad manners
  9. I didn't think he'd fixed servo's yet Phil and I reckon he's smart enough to leave a bit of sheeting off to access supports for snakes
  10. you're a natural at it Kevin closed loop on rudder ? very light and no slop metal clevices though nice job with top sheeting
  11. in a previous thread on 35 it was stated you could still source them is 35 now obsolete was title I think
  12. I've always thought it a quite unpretty aeroplane your changing my opinion Tony beautiful building, wish I had your talent.
  13. I thought I could see a servo under right hand wing thanks for the link Pete, have been stuck on a colour scheme for ages already yellow i'll just add the stripe and lettering. (you sure they're real ones) there is a video online of a supposed drunk stealing a Cub at a show, great flying.
  14. maybe a sig martyn looks like their sticker on it might be clipped wing also looks like my 1/4 scale one
  15. you lads are naughty the Captain Oates pilot = always lands 3 fields away "I may be gone sometime" the pantomime Dame = he's behind you.... oh no he isn't.... oh yes he is giz a go pilot = nuff said have a minute pilot = lets all go hide under a tree Harry Enfield pilot = loadsa money which one's mine = great old fella but his eye's ain't what they where I had nowt pilot = don't know what a stall is yet the club flyer = life and soul of modelling the lone flyer = B.O. ....(only joking) and I love every one of them
  16. never mind flying it, I keep losing it in the house looks like a trip to specsavers there is no mention of cooling I can see for esc motor so i'll assume I don't need it ? took a load of pic's of build for later it's got me thinking multi engine stuff, have avoided them, as it tends to end in tears (deadsticks)
  17. QB 20 high wing trainer 28fsr lively model great quality im not old, was young when I bought it
  18. Posted by cymaz on 15/01/2014 14:09:08: BEB.. Any chance of describing pilots now ? Sunday flier, reckless, fun flier, jackass, clown, etc I think some descriptions won't get past the other mod's
  19. I don't know the sc 75, but abc usually have more grunt the jen 91 was a tired one . give it a good run for take off and see how it go's nowt wrong with a bit of scale flying, puts a smile on your face
  20. I've never owned one but have flown a few the last one had a tired Jen 91 2 stroke in it, as David says take off was realistic it was quite a heavy model though, tex and paint. I would keep it light with the recovering job myself do you lads find it flys better with rudder and aileron on turns (is it adverse yaw?) or was i flying a bad one ? is this why your thinking semi symmetrical Martin ? or are you wanting to give it some welly
  21. that looks really good Chris its cute n loveable not sure about the u/c though
  22. no problems with Nimh's either, I use 6v in all but small stuff. have just bought a new charger thinking it was iffy, because I was not getting a full charge only for the new one to do the same, didn't happen when batteries were new I've also lowered the charge rate, battery's are o.k. and I've got a spare charger buying new or replacing old ones its life's. like that I can leave in model and not worry about fire risk
