Hi Tony, Perhaps a full charge for everything would help ernie

Assuming that you have insurance, and permission from the landowner, I can't see anything to stop you. There will surely be laws against it. There are laws against all fun things, but of course, you wouldn't be daft enough to fly beside a busy road, or any where where you could do damage. I share a site with two storks. They both check me out regularly, and always shame with their landing technique. BUT in your own wee club, you miss so much off the fun bits, like being constantly told how awful your flying is, and the laughter when you go home with a full bin bag ernie

Hi Ariel....About a month ago, I was in exactly the same situation. A wee vice to sit beside my building board. Not for the big bending jobs, but just to hold things while I fettled them. There were two options in the local shop. A locally made French one and a Chinese copy...The Chinese one was half the price....What a no brainer, its only a vice....what can possibly go wrong. Well, the Chinese one is made of cheese painted silver. The fit of the bits is incredibly bad, and it has already ruined many more bits than it has held tight. Also,I'd be a bit wary of the ones with a wee ball that allows the angle to be adjusted. I can never get get it to stay put ernie

Don't knock la Belle France...As I speak, its mild and calm. There are half a dozen busy flying sites nearby, also a secluded one run by a couple of storks, the Feislers. I'll probably sit on the terrace outside my local cafe, and enjoy a real cup of coffee. There are local oysters for lunch, and a ginormous selection of local cheeses. The wines are of course excellent and very reasonable. As Napoleon once said, 'give me a squadron of wot4s, and I'll rule the world' ernie

I am anxious to blame the royal mail because I am an incorrigible francophile, and see everything french to be well beyond reproach ernie

I have just recieved a 1/4 scale pilot from Real model pilots for my never ending Fokker E111 build. What a fine wee german he is. He needs painting, but he's a wee beauty. BUT before the postie mademoiselle (I'm in France) would even let me touch it she demanded 30 euros..mon dieu..I could could have a big fat christmas goose for that sum Whats going on? and most important. who gets my money? ernie

Snails for lunch today Paul? ernie

Its not a good idea to stick anything to oracover or any other covering film; because the strength of the joint is only as good as the strength of the oracover glueing it to whatever is underneath. And that's not very much. Strip the covering off where the glue is going to go, and stick directly to the structure.............................. Use 30min epoxy ernie

Well Albert Ace, I'd give it a spray of matt fuelproofer, like the one that DeLux do. I think diacov is OK, but its the painted on roundels and all the lettering etc that I'd be concerned about ernie

Hi Albert ace, DIACOV is excellent, but with no colour choice. It's gone on to my fokker E111 without a hitch. I paint it with rattle cans ernie

Works just fine in France ernie

Learn slow, learn well ernie

changes gloss to matt ernie

No No No Ron, how can less be more? Surely more is more. More or less ernie
