  1. I’ve done that and cleared browser iPhone and desktop and the problem persists but only on this forum. (Regular habit). Pure chance I saw this as I’ve largely abandoned use of this forum. Not spending any more time on this.
  2. Still good to see. Glow is largely ignored in the press these days
  3. Good to see a positive article on glow powered flight. I’ve always have a preference for glow engines and with OS and SC returning to the market, reliable new engines are available. I know a lot of people say electric is the way forward but I personally feel otherwise. It is still a good well reasoned article. S
  4. Good to see a positive article on glow powered flight. I’ve always have a preference for glow engines and with OS and SC returning to the market, reliable new engines are available. I know a lot of people say electric is the way forward but I personally feel otherwise. I don’t like electric anymore than I would buy an electric car. Just my opinion.
  5. Had a quote on a Sportage at over £900.00. Surprisingly I continued with existing at £420.00.
  6. Not sure how yo can do that on an iPhone
  7. I’m with BT and still having slow page loading on this forum. However no problems on other sites, including eg just been scanning the GBRCAA (F3A. forum) with no slow uploads / pages loading.
  8. Just to save the above took over a minute.
  9. Having a few problems with access at the moment , screen refresh is slow and photos sometimes taking a time to load. But occasionally it works fine ?? Seem to be getting logged out a lot? Hey ho, it’s probably something simple but do I understand- no.
  10. Similar unit to the Futaba FC28. Both great radios.
  11. Regular reviews of your junk folder highly recommended- often find good e-mails there. Less often actual junk! Technology would be good if reliable! However, I still have one e-mail address that is always full of junk. Soon to be cancelled !!
  12. My first two wheeler was a Triumph Tigress for a tenner. Passed my test and sold it for a tenner a fortnight later. Bought a BSA B40 another lesser known machine. S
  13. Sad indeed, my favourite “go to” for all things Futaba ! S
  14. Not received anything / maybe I don’t know what is supposed to be happening. Life seemed so easier only 12 months ago. Even this reply has been a challenge ! Getting old I guess !
  15. Hi Don’t know about that as I’ve not tried their site. But I’ve today had an e-mail confirming my Operator and Flyer ID. It expires next Feb. So I guess that’s a computer blip as I renewed it last December.
  16. Great to see this build. I tried the “Lite” one and definitely did not like it. Somehow building a built up wing without a plan to pin down to was not a pleasure! I had the “older” version in the 80’s - it was brilliant.
  17. I use 2 stroke fuel with synthetic oil. Exhaust extensions push the exhaust further out so wiping down is minimal. Also run the engine dry ( after the flight) so there is no residue to leak out.
  18. Glad to hear you’ve got to the bottom of it. A very odd problem indeed. Now enjoy !
  19. This is sad news - do we have a list of remaining kit builders that are UK based. I know we are still lucky to have Chris Foss out there but who else? I like to support UK businesses where I can.
  20. My Super 60 used to zoom towards heaven - until I moved the C of G forwards. S
  21. I don’t think it will cause major issues so well worth going to the front of the CofG range
  22. Nigel All the foregoing has been a useful discussion but your plane would be difficult to adjust and still look good. If it has been assembled from new and is assembled per the instructions, I don't see that you should need to go further than a call to Century UK. As said these are good planes that fly well, not the most refined in construction but pretty hard to assemble wrong. A few screws and an ally wing joiner rod. The wing and tail fit as per the moulded wing seat / tail plane slots. A call to Century seems the next step.
  23. Given that this model is moulded in wing and tail slots I suspect any wing packing will not solve it. Checking the incidences will at least eliminate any production lines errors. Never seen a Ruckus fly that badly. Therefore a thorough check of the basics is called for.
