    My wild thing went the same way, as or the tape covering I just went over it with a covering iron.. seemed to fix the lifting tape issue.... the rest of the tape holding it together looked and felt sound... although it will need recovering this year to patch up those tatty areas.. Its wicked windy off my local fly site today, a nice steady 14mph (13/04/2020) and can I go flying     today ... NO  (chrooooonovirus). lockdown and worst is I can see the flying site from my windows...but would have to go in car to site so non essential journey ... quite frustrated today Edited By Pete Crosby on 13/04/2020 14:06:00 Edited By Pete Crosby on 13/04/2020 14:06:33

    I moved over fro Futaba to Multiplex (35mhz), and then on to FRsky Taranis. been with that now for 5 years and Love it, once your on with OpenTX and learn the basics (youtube great for that) it quite easy to adapt settigs for almost any aircraft you get or are thinking of getting (would have said built but most by RTF these days).

    Update for Robotbirds listing for foam above link 404'd **LINK**

    Dont think foamwings.co.uk is going any more, see below taken from his website Foamwings - the premier site for model aircraft foam-cored wings. As I'm now past the age of retirement I have decided to spend my time building and flying my own models, and so the company is for sale. Along with the Domain name, CNC cutting and vac-bagging equipment I am also offering to give up to three days of training to cover all aspects of wing making. Enquiries in the first instance should be by e-mail to [email protected]

    What would be good but not really asking for an article could we maybe get a cd (or a download link) with cad files for each free plan, as I think most of the files would already be available and more than a few of us now CNC ect Mad but worth asking for

    got a reply today good job I held on as the kit is listed as in stock and they said that they have no stock for at least 3 weeks .. so I could have paid and have to wait 3 weeks for delivery > a little misleading by selling stuff not in stock bit bored so looking for a new kit.
