    Richard. 

     

    Daft question, but thought I'd ask. 

     

    If one was wanting to build both versions (together) do we need double of everything in the above mentioned materials list?

     

    Just curious if there is lots left over before ordering Balsa. 

     

    Many thanks 

    Bench power supply

    Hi

     

    Thinking of getting a bench power supply and wondered if any of you have any experience with them. 

     

    Thought it would be useful for various things

     

    Like when setting up a model instead of having to use a Lipo / NiMh pack

     

    For powering some Lipo chargers (some can take more than 12v input (which I normally use from a leisure battery) )

     

    Noticed quite a few of Amazon. 

     

    Just thought I'd ask on here for views

     

    Thanks

     

     

    Covering around this bit advice

    in Scale Matters

    Posted · Edited by Keith Newman

    Hi. Doing a Gee Bee

     

    Need some pointers of best way to approach the white covering on the vertical stab i think its called?

     

    Anyhow. The tall bit before the actual rudder. A few curves in it. Not sure if a heat gun and covering iron will sort it or how to actually do it neatly 

     

    Hoping for some super advice from some of you great covering wizards.

    Mini flight stabilisers

    can anyone give some advice on this model.

    Was trying to get one sorted today for a fellow modeller.

    We managed to hook the white single signal wires from the included stabilisation unit to the receiver for throttle, ailerons and elevator that worked.

    Rudder wire has three wires. Could not get it to work at all. Although the rudder would move a little during self test. Connections seemed OK and the flight mode wire - Could not seem to get that sorted.


    So model has elevator, ailerons and throttle working okay.

    It does it self test but no idea how to set rudder or flight mode up. This is on a spektrum dx8 G1.


    Any advice would be great.

    Thanks

    Hi Guys, in the process of sorting my old chilli breeze out, but i do not have the plans and I need to know the C of G please if someone would be kind enough to post the figures for me that would be great.

    Mine has a Mega Motor 22/30/2 fitted and yet to fly it ( did try it with that motor and a 4s 3200 lipo and 80amp esc) but didnt check amp draw etc before flight and killed the esc. Think it was turning a 14x4 apc so I think that perhaps is what killed the esc.

    I am thinking of a smaller 9 / 10" prop next time and I will check with a watt meter this time too!

    Thank you

    Unfortunately that biplane that went in was due to a bolt breaking on the spinner. Which in turn led to the spinner coming of. Hitting the prop and breaking that which in turn led to the model crashing. As I believe it wasn’t that high up at the time.

    It’s a real shame as I only just saw that model at Cosford. Robbie and the guys at skip model design are building a new one I think. Lovely model.

    I read this on the Bmfa Facebook page. Which by the way, is a great group to follow even if your not that ‘into’ Facebook.

    Unfortunately I have recently read on another RC post, that the Two gorgeous Red Arrows flown by Father & Son team, Steven and Mathew Bishop. Have a had a mid-air with each other, whilst in Palma del rio, Spain with one another. Whilst I believe representing the UK.

     

    I have read that both models are no more.

     

    Terrible loss & gutted for them.

    Really enjoyed watching them fly at shows.

    What paint for Multiplex Twin Star

    in Foam models

    Posted

    Hi, managed to get a Multiplex Twinstar at a Swop meet the other day. Pretty tatty in places.

    2 things.

    1) I wish to paint it, what are the best paint types etc to use on this model.

    2) There is a bit of foam missing around edge of a aileron. What would be best to fill this missing foam with. I don't seem to have any suitable foam in my misc box?

    Thanks

    Just picked up one of the original brushed ones of these at a swop meet for £10

    Included a RX which is no use for my equipment. But has got a Jeti JES 350 ESC, google tells me that esc should be okay with lipo's. The model is a bit dirty so thinking of a paint job on it.
