  1. It was to stop people from using things like a indoor vapor to take the test as did happen a couple of years ago.
  2. Ok I know this is an OLD Thread, however had a club night tonight and we had a speaker talking about doing the B test and he stated that the only way to pass properly was ... and I quote....." to use a tray and finger and thumbs"....! Now I dont have my B but I do know LOTS of people who do and most of them all fly thumbs only. Am I right in thinking this guy was full of it?
  3. I got a titan from screwfix a couple of years ago works great, got spare blade from them last summer with no problems.
  4. Thanks guys for the help......that is the one. 9 looks cool
  5. Yep thats the one.... I'm sure it was at least a plan I remember it in the back of mags in the late 90's early 2000 time frame. Just cant remember the name. And thank for the quick reply that was 2 mins got to be a record or something....... thanks again.
  6. A few years ago I saw a club member flying what looked like 4 planes at once. upon close inspection it was 1 plane, but 4 small ones joined together in a Diamond formation of the red arrows. for those of you who have never seen it the front one has the engine side to for ailerons and back one for elevator. Always wanted to build one and was looking for inspiration and remembered this. Any ideas on what its called please need help. And I know this is pob already on the forum but I don't know what its called so SORRY.
  7. For god sake do NOT let my wife see this....... and Yes we all need more. My count 18 btw with about 6 micro indoor stuff... love me some indoor.
  8. To many..... just cant find the time, have enough trouble keeping up with maintaning the ones I have let alone building any of the kits.
  9. Got 5 at the moment in working condition, had about 4 others that are no more... as my wife calls them x-planes.
  10. Thanks guys will look into this further, but looks good so far.
  11. Need some advice guys. Just been given 3 gallons of heli fuel, Wildcat 18% nitro, and want to know if its any good for use in my aircraft as I dont fly helis. and no before people ask I'm not going to give it away either. I dont know what the oil is or its precentage but can find out if it makes a differance. Please help.
  12. Ok going on the Sunday only (stuff to do on the Sat). But what time do I need to get there for in the morning, want to be there for when the gates open to make sure I see everything I can. Any ideas?      
  13. How much are the tickets????? looked all over the BMFA website and couldn't find them any where.  
  14. The april fools joke by Mr Ashby a few years ago come true maybe or another gimmick? Anyone used one or thinking of having a go???? or maybe Mr Ashny could review one for the mag just not the April issue or no one will belive him!!
  15. Just found this dont know if anyone else has seen this or in fact used this but looks pretty cool though.   http://www.iphly.org/   Dont know if I would use it on anything other than indoor stuff but looks like it could be fun.
  16. Called a VISION the illusion was ok, sorry my mistake
  17. If it was the blue and white swing wing thing, called an Illusioin, that looked like a F-14 Tomcat then give it a miss. Had one and got rid of it as soon as pos, lacked power and was not really sutable for an upgrade in motor or fan unit. looked good but lacked power even to do a decent loop.
  18. Or you could speek yo this guy http://www.modelflying.co.uk/forums/postings.asp?th=49708  
  19. Dont mention pulse jets......opps. Now they were LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!
