  1. My copy has arrived at last - on the last day of 2020! It made for a Happy New Year ...
  2. 48th wedding anniversary! I was out sharpish for a short session on our wee slope. Very refreshing and cooked the Mrs a nice dinner in return. All is well.
  3. I have a number of 410 and 620 rxs. I fly at a problematic site as far as DSM2 and DSMX is concerned but these models seem to have overcome the "Holds" which used to plague me. I still get "Fades" as reported in the telemetry but have had absolutely zero "Holds".
  4. At LAST - my copy was delivered this morning. Happy days.
  5. Is anyone else waiting for their copy to arrive? Will they all have been sent out at the same time? I hesitate to do anything to formally report non-receipt just in case of a hiccough in the distribution system.
  6. Can I mention "Almost unique" and "One of the only"?
  7. If you have a voice alert set for switch A it can be set for something like "Motor Off" or whatever you choose from the menu.
  8. Oh dear - it must be me! I THINK that I can sort-of-see it, but maybe not ...
  9. "There's also a ghostly cat in the first picture - see if you can spot it! ...". Try as I might, I just can't convince myself that there is something around the cat toy hanging from that stick. I HAVE tried! Go, Martin - se if you can convince me - or have I looked at that area too long and ignored something else. A sleepless night beckons.
  10. Matt Carlton/Martin Harris/EarlyBird - would these help? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Magnatel-Binocular-Glasses-specatacles-enlarge-the-world-and-look-cool/283784252501?hash=item4212dc0c55:g:dKkAAOSwe5peSGga Edited By John Robertson 3 on 14/10/2020 22:40:07
  11. Blast - my £5 offer for the Graupner Cirrus has been rejected! **LINK**
  12. kc- I have indeed seen the Mass Build thread, thank you. My plan is from Nexus Plans Service and is for the STOL Mk2. It's described as a 55 incher and that's what my measuring tape shows. It's a flat-bottomed airfoil. A number is printed in the lower right corner of the plan - "1445". Sarik's catalogue the Mk2 as "RC1445", so looks like it ties together. I have measured the wing seat on my ex-Shropshire David Davis-supplied Fuselage and it agrees with the plan's dimensions. It also has a faint label inside which reads "STOL Mk2", so I guess that's what I have. I'm not particularly fazed by plans as I just enjoy getting the aircraft up in the air, so I am unlikely - on past form at least - to completely follow the blueprint. For example, I would get no pleasure out of setting up bellcranks when I know that a pair of servos would be relatively painless to install at the building stage. The 262 and 363 Deltas are waiting in the wings - so many projects, so few years left.
  13. I am the Scot referred to in David's post: "... I picked up a fuselage and tailplane of a STOL from the Boot Hill Corner of the Shropshire Model Flying Club years ago. Never got round to building the wing and gave it to a Scotsman I'd encountered on these pages while he was on holiday in France last year.". Having ground my way through my existing fleet - repairing, remodelling, rebuilding and a couple of new builds - I have at last come to my lovely STOL Mk2 fuselage, and it's sitting on my building table. I have researched the thing to death this evening and have gathered together pretty much everything available on-line, including the RCM&E article on the Mk1 in May 1973. Obsessed? No - just plenty time on my hands as we are still in full lockdown in Scotland, so no flying. At least not legally. It may be that a Weasel Trek fits in a rucksack and can be taken, on foot, onto the well-isolated cliffs 1 mile from my front door. Ahem . . . No doubt wing-building etc. will come to a screeching halt the moment lockdown is eased - I have so many aircraft to maiden and re-maiden!
