HI all Paul I hope thats not the case but will take a look. Gary This was suggested at the club which I duly did swap for a new one but not for a different type so there maybe scope in that Thankyou Martin Cooling, I hope will be good, as I am flying it without the cowl due to the trouble, it just make it eaiser to mess with. thanks for the other ideas as well Thanks to all for the replies lots to go at there. I will let you know how it all goes but maybe some time, as I have some repairing to do from the last flight

Hi Jon Yes I have had a couple of different people adjust it but it still seems troublesome, and I am interested in what you have said about the prop . It is currently fitted with a 11x6 prop which as you say is what I generally fit to my 46 size engine so I will give a 12x5 a go and see what happens. Many thanks

Hi all Hoping you maybe able to help. I have an acro wot low wing fitted with a 46 size two stroke. I bought this engine from new and has not had much use though is probably 12 months or more in age. The issue I am having is the model is relative fast, so once in the air I tend to throttle back to a more comfortable speed for me. this is fine for a while then it just deadsticks. it seems to transition fine on the ground from idle to full, if I leave it on idle it will eventually die unless I put some revs into it. any thoughts or suggestions welcome thank you all Regards Tony J

Hi Toto Well that all sounded very encouraging. Sounds like a nice place, wish we had a club hut ah well cant have everthing so heres to you haveing more air time. regards. Tony S

Tony j replied to toto's topic in Tony Nijhuis plan builders
Hi Toto I have been reading all your threads and have enjoyed doing so. I shall follow this one with much interest and am sure you will do a splendid job. Good luck with the stick time and keep at it, as said by others it is a great hobby. Regards Tony J -
I too mostly stand behind the model, but have begun to do a few take offs from the piolts box recently, though not for any reason than thought i would give it a go .

Hi all Happy new year to you. Over the christmas period i have been recovering a model that was long over due to be recovered, but it got me thinking as to what people are now using instead of the solar trim. I know that solar film alternatives are out there but are there any trim alterantives. I am also aware that there is still solar trim available but its choice is limited in colours so what do you use ? Kind regards Tony J

Hi Tony H I too prefer IC over electric and agree with some of what you say though I think price increases are just a sign of the times at the moment ,all things seem to be on a upward trend. I worry that the noise issue maybe the eventual end of IC over electric but hopefully not for some time yet. I do love the sound of 4 strokes(but only have two in my small collection of planes), 3 two strokes and one electric .Will soon be adding another 2 stroke to my collection. Kind Regards Tony J

Hi Nigel Second paragraph I bought an adaptor that allowed you to fit the socket from a three wire switch into it so it effectively became a charge socket on the air frame but as i said never got on with it . Cheers Tony J
-
Hi all I was wondering if many people use these switches that have the inbuilt charge socket and if you find them useful . I was thinking of fitting one because i do like to test my battery before a flight (that just me ). I did fit one of those sockets on its own but could not get on with it kept pushing the plug back out must have done something wrong when i set it up anyway that's long since gone with the airframe kind regards Tony J
-
HI Thank you for your comments both You have a good point there Cuban 8 about reinforcing the under cart section. I will look at that. Richard when you say you put it next to the tank did you mean at the side of the tank in the same section because that is about where I reckon I need it to get balance . Many thanks Tony J
-
Hi all Hopefully a nice simple one. I have just completed an acro wot artf IC version plane . I need to fit the rx battery I am wondering where others have positioned their battery in this model . Many thanks. Tony J

Good morning All I have a canopy that is located with two peg at the front and then two M3 screws screw into the sides . Now I was flying the other day and returned with one screw missing. So is there away that I can stop them from coming loose in flight. I thought about thread loc but thought this may not suit as they need to go in and out on a regular basis so any suggestions please . Many thanks in advance. Kind regards. Tony J

Hi last year my wife and I were walking up Snowdon in wind and damp when we decided we were getting quite wet on the leg area so stopped to put our waterproof trousers on . The warmth that then came to me I was amazed at . Now to be fair I have not tried this yet when down the patch but may give it a go . otherwise for me its a wool hat finger less gloves . Had a sort of neck thing for xmas dont know what they are called but you put it over your head and its sits around you neck but it can stretch up around face etc also set to give a go at the patch. Regards Tony J
