Fantastic subject to read. Loads of good photos well Done.

I am looking at a Spektrum DX7.so having enough channels certainly should'nt be a problem with the current model and ideas.

Nearing completion of my Flair cub. Will put up some pictures when i get a chance. I am debating cutting 5" of the ailerons and making a set of working flaps. The only thing that is stopping me at the moment is that A, Would flaps be to advanced for a trainer B, Should i change the design from 1 servo for ailerons to 2 servos and if i fit flaps should i use a servo for each flap or one servo using bell cranks? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, will be watching with interest. Good luck.

I am hoping to visit a few clubs in the next month or two so i will hold off getting a set until i see and speak to the people at the clubs and see what they are using. Thanks for the advice.

For the brief period i was learning electric flight was a bit of a dark art and electric models were few and far between, but now it seems electric is the norm. I will post pictures up of my build as i go although they will be few. I am currently looking at a Hitec 2.4 system which seems good for the price. What would be a good way to go once i am an established model flyer as having served in the RAF as an engineer on the hercules i would like to build a transport plane and am looking at an Airbus A400 kit by Tony N. The problem is looking around the forum the opinion seems to be against people with a lack of experience flying a 4 engine model. Would this be right?

Hello all, As per the description i am returning to the hobby after a 17 year break. I started at 15 years of age with a fully hand built cessna which i built with my father. Sadly due to an illness which my father came down with i stopped a year later. I now have a family of my own and in trying to find something i could enjoy for me i turned back to model flying. I am currently building a Flair Cub with built up wing. I live in Norwich and am looking at flying locally. I do have one question would it be safe to use my original controller which was a Futaba sky sport 4 or would i be better purchasing a new 2.4 Ghz set?
