Has usaul I got it all wrong Southern Model Craft will have all the fuel back in stock the end if next week and ready to ship 👍

This is not going well .Weston Web site is also .down Only option left now is to just buy Optifuel 12% from Leeds Model .Oh well at least I know it is good fuel .Be interested to know what has happened to Southern Craft Models ????

Looking at Southern Model Craft Web site and the fact he is not excepting any e mail I would think Souther Model Craft are no longer trading . Toss up now to go for Weston fuel or splash put £36 a gallon of Optifuel .I used Optifuel 12 % and it is expensive but it is very good fuel or Weston fuel to which I have never used

Yes I got the name wrong .It is Southern Model Craft .Getting short on fuel .Do not really want to pay £36 for a gallon of fuel. Might have to try Weston fuel if Model Southern Craft have run out

Tried to order some fuel from Southern Craft Fuel but I noticed he is out of stock.Tried to e mail him but it will not accept any e -mails Anyone know if he has stop trading ?

Not Motion RC fault but be aware when ordering spare parts from Motion RC Europe Order 2 sets of retract doors for the new Cougar 80mm EDF from Motion RC Europe.Bill for the doors plus a few other parts plus postage of £6 ,total £18 .Not bad untill I received a bill from Fed Ex for VAT and handling charges £10 .Making the total bill £34 Same order from R C Castles in Hong Kong would of been £18 that includes postage .I will not be getting anymore spare parts from Motion RC Europe anymore I be getting all my Freewing spare parts from RC Castles in future .They all way come within 8 days .This VAT thing and handling charges from FED EX is a bloody rip off

Time to retire this lipo by the sounds of it 😒

Have a 6s 5000 lipo and when I charge it up one cell gets to to 4.2 and the other 5 cells are at 3.8 and the charger shows fully charged .I take it this 6s 5000 is finished .I have tried discharging it and balance charge it again but the Same thing happens ,4.2 and the rest of the cells 3.8

With our Flying field being a bit muddy over the winter period. Thought I needed a good old winter model. I love Cubs so I invested in the FMS 1700.PA Supercub .This model is fantastic what a flyer .It has the characteristics of the good old Cub and with the large wheels it will almost take of in a ploughed field. Surprisingly it is quite aerobatic but I am not in to that I just like to fly.it like a cub should be flown .The model is well made ,easy to assembly and fly very slow. I love it .Well done FMS another quality model .I can fully recommend it .I see they do a smaller PA18 at 1300mm. I would suspect that would be a good flyer to and would make a good trainer aircraft 👌👌👍

During my working life I work a long side the CAA at a major airport and my dealing with the CAA where. well let just say they are a law un to them self ,what they say goes and are full of red tape

Can someone tell me what this CAA test actually meant to achieve because I can not see any benefits from this CAA test .I have several friends who use drones for videoing the country side .Not one of them have even bother or care about and most have not heard of this test. It seems to me it is only the rc modellers are caught in this trap

More unesary red tape from the CAA .What a complete joke this CAA test is But 10 out off 10 from the BMFA for making the test not a problem .I suspect the BMFA are just has frustrated with the CAA test has I am but unfortunately that is life now Life can no longer be just straight forward anymore .30 years ago when I started model flying life was so simple and model flying was just a hobby with out all this crap It must put people off thinking of taking up this hobby now 😒

If he had bothered to come down our Flying field ,we could of explained all about lipo and how important it is to charge them correctly .Bit he did not

A person in our village decided to take up model flying .I explained to him about our Flying club and said he was more then welcome to come down and get to know us all and if he was serious about model flying we could teach him He decided not to join our club ,saying he could fly in the local park for free ( yes I know that was a stupid and possible not legal but there you go ) So what happened .Well he charged his lipo batteries up on a car charger and left it and went shopping in town leaving the batteries charging 😘.While he was in the town he watch 2 fire engine scream passed on blue light .You have guessed it .It was his house. House and garage burnt to the ground and totally destroyed his house and garage .Luckily his house was a detached house so his neigbough house was OK So for the sake of not joining our club and being shown what and what not to do he has lost his house,his garage and 3 classic motorbikes that where not insured
