I sadly missed the pyro stuff - the weather was awful as you know on Saturday, called it an early day around 4 ish, but came home with a Spitfire kit. Can't wait to start building it, but it's a birthday present so I'll have to wait another month yet, but going to keep stockpiling everything I need (and there's quite a bit - covering iron/covering/glue etc). Only thing I wonder - recommended servos? Trying to find an OS 32FX or equivalent (there's a OS 35AX but it's rumoured to be quite a bit less power), as recommended by the trusty Tbobborap.

Will be at Weston Park tomorrow, with money to buy one.. :D

Ah yep that was where I saw them Cheers for the info, Electric is my forte, but fancy venturing into the IC world! Hopefully build the first one IC, then another electric .

Thanks for the replies guys - yeah I nearly bought one yesterday but only saw ME109 kits there (didn't have a proper look as I was undecided), I guess I should have looked properly I think I'll most likely go for the Spitfire, or the Mustang - undecided yet And that's good to know you've got so far already - I'd probably use CA or I have some Epoxy. Only thing I need to learn then is how to cover properly and buy a cheap covering iron And yep I'll get guidance from people before installing the IC due to no experience, and read up a ton on tuning etc. They looked fantastic in the air yesterday, some lovely lovely paint schemes. What sort of flight times can they get? I guess the nice thing is there's just a case of refuelling and ensuring receiver lipo has enough power then you're back in the air!

Hey there, I was at Long Marston today and saw these (or the Cambrian ones - does anyone know which ones it was?). Never built a balsa/ply model before, but definitely want to now! (in fact I've never had a Petrol/IC model either, and I've been flying 10 years!) Anyway - how easy are they for a new builder? I've built the Flite Test planes using foamboard etc, so can obviously use tools etc, but wondering if there are step by step instructions etc for a newbie like me who hasn't got the foggiest of where to start with a balsa I'd also be looking to make this my first IC too...! Thanks

Hey, Just come back from it - not bad but what I expected - shame there weren't more shops but that's no problem Just wondered if anyone know what that stupidly quick small yellow/black plane was, I hear it was flying on 3s 1500, but I didn't hear what model it was! I think they said it could be picked up for 120 quid? Any help appreciated .
