You can't protect, as you point out, against this Martin. Those details are all that is needed to complete a transaction. online purchases, done electronically, do not provide the shop with your cvv, so is safer than speaking down the phone

Correct, Blacks for Batt and servos at the bottom

Right, you see White or yellow at the top, Red the middle All blacks to the bottom

I ran out of time to edit But the AR620 receiver does plug into the Reflex V2 which is a gyro, and will stabilise the model As mentioned above The AR620 is not a stabiliser

The Reflex V2 is a stabiliser .

On Leccy, I tried helping out my market trader brother in law, buying 10 such boxes, that would suit us, 4 foot by 18 inch square, double walled card. We had to buy 10, or 100 boxes. 10 cost us £180. Shipping by courier one box containing goods was £15. We had to ask customers £33 postage. It was a nightmare. A sport plane with separate wing halves would probably fit a 4 foot box, but adding £33 carriage can't go down well.

Inverted OS 26 FS - not quite given up but pretty close
Denis Watkins replied to extra slim's topic in IC Engines
Yes, inverted I fly the 26, and the Saito 30 and 40, inverted And like you, the tank has to be rock bottom, On floor of the model And with each, plumbing has to be spot on, and I fly all three on 5% nitro -

I fly successfully on your set up Extra Slim, although on a 9 x 5 prop. it has to be fuel flow, as you summise, but you have to have half the idle screw hole covered by screwing in. and you won't like this, although all new, you have a fuel pipe pressure leak, or a tank pressure leak, or the clunk sticking at the back of the tank. The 4oz tank has a very short clunk pipe, than can wander high in the tank, or get stuck. go over each joint and every inch of the tank under water with soap bubbles blow every pipe, blocking the others in turn. You have a pressure leak I feel. -

Richard, although it was a small amount of money, this scammer has your paypal and email details, so change your password on both to something more substantial. Once they get your details, they commence hammering away at passwords to get into accounts.

Count the magnets in the motor Here from RCgroups For a brushless motor, the number of poles (magnets) determines the optimum timing. Less timing advance is more efficient and higher timing advance is more powerful but uses more juice, within the range that a particular motor can use. E-flite Pro ESC timing recommendations: Low Timing Advance Timing Degrees – 5 & 10 Motor Poles – 2 to 4 Expected Performance – Good balance of power and efficiency Motor Poles – 6 or more Expected Performance – Best efficiency and run time (lowest power) Standard Timing Advance Timing Degrees – 15 & 20 Motor Poles – 6 to 12 Expected Performance – Good balance of power and efficiency Motor Poles – 14 or more Expected Performance – Best efficiency and run time (lowest power) High Timing Advance Timing Degrees – 25 Motor Poles – 12 Expected Performance – Highest power, less efficiency Motor Poles – 14 or more Expected Performance – Good balance of power and efficiency

Anyone know what make this is and if it is worth anything?
Denis Watkins replied to Arthur Harris's topic in IC Engines
Up to around 1943, both here and the USA, small garages with workshops with tooling, dabbled with small petrol engines for model aeroplanes, resulting in many design one-offs, as production ceased until the end of the war, and motors became available again. Point being, one off design petrol engines were quite common. -
Right Allan, the 3 flicks in 3 seconds, is not rushed, nice and steady as switches bounce a 3 seconds is steady One- and - Two- and Three.....steady Or in the workshop Use the button on the S8R to do the same thing,, steady one and two and three Use the button on the reciever

There was an optional Brass Priming Nozzle Richard, screwed in place to allow priming, obviously never caught on.

No part of my flying or flying equipment, fuel or choice of model have escaped being denounced on the forum, but I do understand that opinions are interesting.

The antenna is fine in a foamy, and should be laid out straight and not folded. A range test should show up any problem The scoop looks good, just don't hang around after switch on, and fly -
Good spot Bruce, one that you will never forget The wing tube is most commonly fitted at the ( strongest ) thickest part of the wing profile which is aerodynamically too, the best place for the C of G
-
Bruce, have rung a flying buddy who has the Angel, and his rudder servo is not in the tail, but behind the wing tube up front on a closed loop system. The elevator servo is in the tail, as is yours you say. He balanced 145mm as recommended using the battery position.

From the manual concerning hot running Installation / Mounting When installing the Unify Pro, please ensure adequate airflow and - most importantly - heat transfer. This means mounting the Unify Pro with a bit of pressure against a flat piece of carbon will give you the best results. Proper mounting will allow the video transmitter to run for extended periods of time while sitting on the ground, both with 25mW and 200mW power levels. On 500mW / 800mW power levels, we recommend to start flying after a maximum of 1 minute, so that the airflow can begin to provide adequate cooling. When video transmitters heat up they start transmitting with less output power. There is also chance of the power supply circuit overheating. Don't worry, the Unify Pro will detect excess heat and shut down until it recovers. But that will also mean the video transmitter will not transmit. If you are experiencing that the video transmitter shuts down, check your installation. Ensure that heat can be drained well and make sure that there is a bit of airflow access to your VTx.
