    solar trim alternative

    in All Things Model Flying

    Posted

    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

    The Future of IC Engines

    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

    switch harness

    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

    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

    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

    Holding screws in

    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.

    Keeping Warm In Winter Weather

    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

    model recommendation

    Hi all

    I have a fancy to build a war bird . Now I am looking to build from a plan so my preference is that of balsa also that of I.C . I believe that these type of models can be difficult to fly which is why I am asking if anybody out there has one that they might like to recommend as a good one to start with .

    many thanks in advance

    buddybox system

    in All Things Model Flying

    Posted

    Hi all

    I have recently hooked up a plane in a buddy system so that I can take my first flight with it with a more experience flyer. However I found that all surfaces were swapping over nicely except the ailerons which seem to have a mass of movement when switched to the trainer tx . I have had to use all my sub trim on the trainer tx to equal them out. now have read in the instructions that it does not recommend that you use too much sub trim to do with overiding the servos can anyone throw any light on why I have had so much movement. all is fine on the master tx and the plane has been flown

    master tx is JR

    slave is Spektrum Dx6i

    hope this makes sense

    Thanks in advance for your time

    Kind Regards
