Anything is better than Match of the day! Even watching paint dry, which is what I am doing at the moment! Should be out in the shed building, seeing as we are having the usual summer weather!

Hi all, can anyone let me know where I can get Klotz R50 oil from please? The wizard of Oz, aka Brian Winch, recommends either this or Coolpower for my petrol engine. Can't seem to find either in this country. Cheers, Simon

Well done on the computer remodel! Can I ask a quick question on petrol engine fuel line plumbing. On a glow, three lines, one for filling, closed off after filling, one to silencer for pressuring fuel tank, and one to carb. What do you do with a petrol engine? Cheers, Simon

Different subject. Ratchet on Throttle stick. Reading the October issue, an article by Alex Whittaker states that he fitted the supplied throttle stick ratchet. Mine never came with this, and there is no mention of it in the Instruction book. Am I missing something?

How do you measure 2 dgrees of side thrust?

Yes please

Yes please. Simon

Count me in.

Count me in

Be a good replacement for the one that I flew into the shed at our flying site!

Thanks David, that helps a lot. I've got a 2200 lipo, so that should help with the CofG a bit. I might have to remove the spats then, as the site I use is not exactly short grass! Will indeed let you know how it goes. Cheers, Simon.

Pitts Special for me as the Mosquito has been done fairly recently Cheers, Simon

Count me in for the draw please.

The Multiplex Gemini is my first attempt at electric flight. The model is built but now I am having a problem as to how to attach the ESC and the battery so I can get the battery out again to recharge. The model was reviewed recently in the magazine, but no mention was made of the battery. Maybe some of the reviews could have pictures of the kit going together, as a picture is worth a thousand words. Regards, Simon Reid

Yep, I agree, has to be a Mosquito, 633 Squadron and all that.

Message to Ivor Giles. If you still have the Reflex Xtr I am definitely interested. E-mail me on [email protected]. Cheers Simon

Thanks Allan. I have also come across a set from RS components. 1mm to 6mm in 0.1mm increments for £18.50. Not bad. Cheers, Simon

My mistake. Yes it is 0.1mm increments

David, Thanks for that. It is a good starting place, might have to buy them individually though.

Where can I buy a set of drills as described in Alex Whittaker's article on R/C Technique in the March issue. The drills are 0.1mm to 6.0mm in .01mm increments. The only ones I've found on the internet cost over £90!! Alex says a good ground German set can be had for about a tenner.
