Excellent - thank you both! The install has went ok, the diagram is pretty much the same as my set up. How did you get your schraeder valve attached to the circuit?? At the t piece I have standard air hose with an open end, how do you attach the schraeder valve?   Many thanks.. Alan

Hi ALL...   Once again, any help will be gratefully appreciated. I am building a Harvard- 26cc petrol size. The retracts are air operated. The system is basically the piping to a valve with 3 inlets / outlets and a one way valve to 'charge' the air tank. The one way valve connector is a standard nipple to press a pipe onto. How do you charge the tank? All I have is an air hose going to the one way valve and the open end to connect a pump to. Cheers.. Alan

23 for me please.

I am lucky enough to have a decent sized area at my work where I can practice my flying. The area in question is about 2 football pitches in size. It is a bit small for a my AT-6 or 40 size low winger, and the weather is seldom calm enough for the little ERC Micro Stik.   Can anyone suggest a decent buy in the box leccy plane, something like a warbird that with fall somewhere between the 2 examples above? The biggest limitation is the manouvering area is tarmac, so the plane must have undercarriage. Does anyone have any recommendations? I thought about a parkzone spitfire, but it doesn't have wheels and I want something with similar capabilites to a 40 size low winger. But that size and style would be ideal, just a bit more aerobatic.   Cheers.. Alan

Thanks for the words of wisdom everyone!! )

Hi ALL..   I am looking for a bit of advice, as per the thread title. I am building a Black Horse AT-6 / Texan. The model span is 82" and 120 2 stroke or 26cc petrol is the recomended power.   I have got a SC180 four stroke for it. I am toying with the idea of selling the four stroke and putting a 26cc petrol engine in it. Can I ask about people's experiences of petrol power v 4 stroke. Is this a good idea, or should I stick with the SC180?   Cheers... Al

Hello ALL...   Does anyone on the Forum fly / or know anyone who flies heli's in the Ayrshire / South Glasgow area? I have mailed Waterfoot Heli's a couple of times, but to no avail. I am hoping to make contact with a heli flyer at a local club.   Many thanks as usual.   Alan

I agree... defo scary, as a newbie to leccy flying I have just ordered a Lipo safe bag.  

Great video!!  Good find! 

Hi again everyone.. the model is finished and have successfully powered everything up. I have a watt meter now to plug in and read the results when the throttle is opened. Very pleased with it all.. and thanks for everyone's words of wisdom.

Do you know what...  what is the opposite of left breast?  Thats what I feel like right now!!  I took the servo horn off and turned it round to the other side!  Soz for wasting your time!  lol   Alan

Hiya.. Proper flaps.   Looking at the set up, it looks as though one of the servo's has to be reversed some how??  

Hello again...   Setting up the flaps on the plane with the T6EX. The flaps are operated on channel 6 by a switch. There is a dedicated flap servo in each wing, joined via a Y lead into channel 6.   The problem is that when the switch is on the off position 1 flap is deployed and when the switch is on the other flap deploys and the one that was deployed returns to the neutral position. Any ideas how to fix this? hmmm.   Thanks all!!

Amazing!! When I saw the first pics of the damage - I thought no chance!! Having followed how you rebuilt this I am well impressed! Well done!! I suspect there may be a few messages coming your way from people who crash their ARTF's over the coming season!!
