  1. Hello David. Thanks fo that, Could you please let me know how to wire it as it states in the manual it needs 6 Channels so I'm a bit lost. Bill
  2. I am building a dream flight Libelle and want to know which RX to use with my futaba 6EX-2.4GHz as there is very little space it has to be as small as possible I am new to gliding. I live in southern Ireland on the south coast and there are some lovely low cliffs thet the seagulls love to soar above. beautiful morning here today SW breeze many thanks Rowdy
  3. Thanks to you both Frank and Chrisie,I am all up and running, not flying we have fierce southerly winds at present and the lounge is not quite big enough.lets hope its nice and still in the morning and I can have a play.   Best wishes,   Bill.   PS I also have a premier RC Kite,but unfortunatly I can only get that to fly for about 5 mins, the other drawback is that when the motor cuts out it drifts with the wind. as it steers with the pull from the prop.
  4. Help PLEASE I have just purchased a minium autokite and cannot get it to bind to the transmitter,I have followed all the instructions as instructed,I am using the transmitter i had for another minium and wondered if I had to somehow clear that before it would connect to the kite, I get the Bleeping when switch transmitter on but when I plug in the battery to the kite I just get a continuous humming and the red lite flashes but no bleeps. Any help would be much appreciated. Bill
  5. I have just bought  the A380 Airbus,not too bad with the build, but I am now struggeling with the wireing, I am still on 35MHz  6EXP Controller, I am afraid the instructions say nothing about the wireing and this is my first Multi EDEF, any help would be much appreciated Many thanks Bill
  6. Thanks Guys for the info' The premier RC Canard.is very Large but performs well in light winds rather  expensive though, |I very much like the way the power unit is situated out of harms way. The SB 42 looks to be great fun David especially  on these dark winter evenings when the air is still and crispy. I might have a word with Mother Christmas !! Bill  
  7. I flew one of these for my cousin at Sandylands,Mablethorpe, last weekend for the first time and had great fun with it. Please does anyone know if they are are a vailable in the UK?   Bill
  8. Hi Glen. Was wondering if you had got any further  with plans for plans for 48in Vulcan, as mentioned at the end of last year. I hear things are not looking good for 558 can we rustle up 500,000 people for a £1 at football matches this weekend. Not good flying weather at the moment in Southern Ireland. I am now going to watch your video. Bill.
  9. I could have sworn I had some bookmarks but all I get is a blank page. Must be my age, its such a job for us oldies to keep up with all this progress. Roll on spring lets get flying.Nothing but storms and tempestsat the moment.
  10. Glenn, Did I see that horrible four letter word (work) am pleased to say I no longer "work" everything I do now is PLAY    I like many others gave approx 50 + years to that task. pity we couldnt all retire while this old Chassis of ours was not .worn out. DONT WORRY BE HAPPY thats my motto. I read a saying once that said : "Old boys with toys never grow old" Love life its the only one you have. Happy Christmas to all Flyboys everywhere, Keep the VULCAN Flying.
  11. Hi Glenn. Hope all is well with you, have you managed to get any further with plans for a smaller model yet? I have bought myself a Horizon Hobby F-27 Stryker that looks to be about the closest shape I can get to the Vulcan at the moment am well pleased with it and feel that if I can fly that ,then if I can get a vulcan I should be able to manage that. as well. I managed to get a fly in this afternoon Lovely sunny day here in southern Ireland and the wind dropped at about 3.30 so got 2 batteries worth out of the F -27, I think i`m getting better no damage Ha ! Ha! Bill
  12. Jacqui and I have signed the petition.Hope to be at Duxford next July for Flying Legends. Perhaps if the worst comes and 558 can`t make it, what about you Glenn am sure you could stand in and do a brilliant job.. Now going to watch your video`s Glenn. .
  13. Hi Sloper,  Many thanks for that, I have just been on the phone to Alan and hopefully a Mk3  46" Wildthing will be winging its way over the water to Whiting bay  Southern Ireland  tomorrow. Will clear the workbench tomorrow . Any tips for flying will be greatly appreciated,  I am new to this Game." What no engine"
  14. Hi Timbo, Just found the Wildthing,am afraid I must have one ,just right for me to learn with on the cliffs around Whiting Bay, Where can I get it from PLEASE Plenty of wind here,and its not the sprouts. Bill.
