OK I done with this forum

Been trying to get some fuel from Southern Model Craft but he has been out of stock now for ages .Not sure what is going on there

It looks like I am going to have to pay the £36 for my fuel now .I am not happy about that but that is the only options left for me now Sorry but for reason I am not going to say on this thread I am not a fan of Western ,'s fuel. So that leaves me one choice ,Optifuel, I know it is £36 for 5 liters and it is very good fuel .I have used it in the past but is it worth the £36 price tag ????

Wondering how this will effect the price of Motion RC Freewing models .They come from China .How will that work with Europeon warehouse ???.

Thanks Paul I was told the slow screw should be flush with the case .When you said yours was 2.3 mm in from the case I thought that can not be right it should be flush .Out of desperation I though I might has well try it So I did and the 100 ticks over fine and when I take the glow lead of the glow plug the engine does not drop the revs .So you where spot on .👍

Thanks but never received it

I am waiting on a tacho but that is all good info .I will try again on Saturday with all your advice hopefully I will get it to tick over

Had a DX6 transmitter and put one of my models on the flying strip and while I was walking back to the flight box the model went into full throttle even though the throttle stick was in the idle position. Model crash into safety fence destroying it's self .Bin the DX 6 transmitter thinking there was problem with the transmitter .Transfer all the models from the DX6 to a DX8 .Now totaly different model with a different Spektrum recieved the DX 8 has done the same thing .What is going on .Lost faith in Spektrum and reluctant to buy a new NX 8 for fear of it happening on the NX 8

No I can not find anything on it either

One if our club members said the LMA are holding an event at Buckminster on May 17th but I can not find any info on the BMFA or LMA Web sites about this ???

Desperate to get my Laser 180 back in the air .Seagull do a 99 inch Bird Dog L19 A for a 30 cc petrol engine it has wing area of 1215 in 2 (what ever that means ).It flying weight is 15 lbs .I am sure the Laser 180 would have no problem flying this model but at about £600 need to be sure the Laser 180 will be OK .Anyone help me out here .Or is it best to leave it and put a 30cc petrol engine in it .I hate petrol engines

So it what I thought I find Southern Model Craft is excellent fuel and it seems there is absolutely no advantage in paying out a extra £10 a gallon for more expensive fuel that charge £36 for 5 litres .So I stay with Southern Model l Craft fuel .That is once it is back in stock and available again .Have to fly electric until then

Use to use Model Tecnic Pro Power 10% fuel but due to no longer available I now use Southern Model Craft fuel and find it good fuel Question Southern .Model Craft Fuel 10% =£23 for 5 liters Optifuel 12% fuel ==£37 for 5 liters I am a great believer in you get what you pay for and will happily pay £37 for 5 liters if it is worth the extra money but is there any advantage in Optifuel @ £37 for 5 liters over Southern model Craft @ £23 for 5 liters Has the Optifuel got better quality ingredients over Southern Model Craft or is it just a rip off

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
