  1. for Cuban 8 above?? the person who really should be giving it to them large is the PATRON OF THE B.M.F.A. he should be called upon to take our side in this mess if not why bother having him we may as well have chubby brown at least we could have a laugh also I think this may have stated with the phrase unmaned aircraft we should have stood our ground and said MODEL AIRCRAFT unmaned aircraft lumps all things that fly without a human together not good its all a play on words

  7. I use those servos quite a lot I think they may be made by different companys if you notice some are TOWER PRO some are TOWARD PRO note the different spelling I have a lot of these servos all have two ball races in them I did buy 4 from some were in Birmingham that were advertised as having two ball races having opening them they were found to have plastic bushes just like you say so I sent them back I also notice that the servo you've pulled to pieces says PROSTER on it there are that many clones out there so your servo could be a clone of a real tower pro servo or a clone of a clone???????
  8. I have a d s m contact 140 it has a rossi 40 in it and the mini pipe it came with, really I should put a tuned pipe on it but it flys okish needs a dose of trimming just getting round to it, I also have a joker with a webra speed 61 re piped motor goes like the xxxx off a shovel its on 35 meg never changed it to 2.4 flys as if on rails lovely

  11. took the motor out of the tornado today webra 61 pumped, the pump is an integral part of the back plate it is made by perry?? bit of tube on the inlet and blow through it all clear both ways so I took the back plate off no moving parts there is a black disc in the back plate dosnt seem to move if I try to push it how it works I don't know re assembled it all and come to put the motor back in the model put it in and tried blowing the tank up zilch coming out of the feed undid the motor and noticed the feed pipe kinked took the motor back out and turned the back plate round put the motor back in still kinked give up took the feed straight to the carb ill try that
  12. I have masses of solarfilm from the 70s and 80s a good friend of mine used to have a model shop and was a friend of I think mr solarfilm hence the large amount of film I have its manly seconds were the colour was a bit off or there was a fault in it and it was skipped and it came out of the skip , I have just covered a glider with some of it from the early eighties film that is I was give some of hobbykings film and found it very good so have stuck to that I find using film quicker than paint ect ect and easy to apply
  13. the model is mine built from a plan, the pump is built into the backplate just in and out it might be dry as the motor has not been run for a long time or it could be goosed, the fuzz is light ply and balsa with foam wings and tail, its covered in film from hobbyking and most cut with a scalpel the words TORNADO and UKCAA were cut from film on a club members wifes machine? the electric retracts are from hobbyking also, weight about 7-8 pounds quess
  14. just as the screwdriver stopped knocking YOU WOKE UP AND EAT YOUR CORNFLAKES EXTRA SLIM ive heard some bull---t in my time extra slim???? too much time sat in that hut with them old men but (that's another storey) ha ha ha see you sunday

  16. SPOT ON ERFOLG CANT STOP LAUGHING LOVED IT MAN AFTER MY OWN HEART HA HA HA
  17. I agree with Ian holme ,above ?in the 80s and 90s I used to fly at Elvington if memory serves me it was up for sale I had many words with Chris Bromley at the time about buying it for the BMFA SMAE his words to me were ITS NOT BIG ENOUGH TO HOLD THE NATS ?????? you could land the space shuttle on elvington and heres chris telling me its not big enough, he said what he ment to say was its not WIDE ENOUGH and the free flight boys would be going out of the airfield ??? I have been to the natsat barkston for a number of years and quess what the free flight boys go out of the air field and so do the chuck/n/duck as well I think its to late to do anything about the nats proberbly the end of an era
  18. what is wrong with you honky tonks this is the third time I have mentioned this WHAT ABOUT WOODVALE er????? near the m6 motorway? and m27?? not much difference on size to Barkston, probably would fill all the needs to hold the nats and has been used in the past for model aircraft shows, is it because its TO FAR NORTH is that the problem for goodness sake WAKE UP
  19. er just go back a few and read AGAIN maybe the B M F A can get it sorted for next year ????????????? the phone number is there and they do hire it out
  20. think id just go for the FU if you know what I mean wink wink????you sure your daddy didn't build it and you covered it?????? see you Sunday mucker, well that is your usual thing
  21. could this be PLAN B Mr B M F A HERE IS THE PHONE NUMBER OF RAF WOODVALE it is 01704837252 its on there web site, perhaps you should get our PATRON to ring it to see if we can book it for the NATS don't think they will turn him down do you ??????????????? PS SORRY MANNY you do a good job,
  22. all this woffle above is all very well but the main thing is we need somewhere to hold the NATS ???? I have flown at the nats years ago, and have been to the last five nats with other club members and we make a long weekend of it (fri to mon )the REASON WE AND MANY MODELLERS GO is to see things we don't often see C/L FOR ONE in all its disguises ( scale , speed, combat, team race,) ect ect no I'm not???? I fly R/c have done since the seventies there is no other show were you can see all the different classes of model aircraft, the show line is for people to see what aero modelling is all about nice aircraft being flown nicely, nowhere can you see fun fly, aerobatics ,imac pylon racing. helicopters, and RC scale, all in one place to my mind its the only show for MODELLERS and the only place some trade go to eg PAW engines anyway,think ive jacknored enough ITS THE SITE WE NEED, IF WE HAD THAT I THINK THE REST WILL COME EASY
  23. well me old Cuban eight youd have to do what we do,and book into a hotel,or premier lodge,or even camp,not a 520 round trip for us but hours on the motorway to get there to barkston nightmere place to get to
  24. still think WOODVALE is a good site to hold the nats size for size not much in it between woodvale and barkston check it out ???? google earth???
