I actually got round to flying this today now that I can see models again. It was a bit slippery for my launcher to get a grip but after a hairy start it flies well and would have been better if I had checked that the aileron rate was on low! 40% expo saved it. I shall now glue some sandpaper to the fus. just aft of the wing.

Hi Pete, Davin Matin on the other thread is also doing that but I warned him that the rearward added weight would need an awful lot in the nose to offset it. A simple castoring leg like a Spit. is all you really need (and yes, this is from experience).

Having built and flown one of these plus a couple of other smaller ones you will not need it to be steerable. It would add weight just where you do not want it.

Now got this and installed it in my Seagull Cap 300 which is my flying testbed for gear. With the gyros set to the recommended 2 o`clock position it performed well in the wind today so I shall install it in my Laser 70 powered Tiggy which needs one. It dawned on me that I already have one of these in my 48" Dalotel but not had much chance to try it. Only problem is the start up procedure but I shall get used to that.

I had a problem with a joiner on a petrol motor and was recommended some Teflon which melted as soon as I opened the throttle. Remember that petrol dissolves silicone. Better to use flexi pipe with lightweight jubilee clips.

OK thanks.

I am still getting a notification of every new advert which is posted. Please fix.

I have gone for the NX3 delivered from UK at £18. Supposed to support dual ailerons.

Years ago when the price of a set of gear was through the roof you only got four servos and had to use messy bellcranks or strip ailerons. With the advent of computer radio you can now individually trim, set the throws and adjust differential, thus simplifying the set up considerably. It would not occur to me to only use one.

Thanks, where did you get them please and do they cater for dual aileron servos?

I think that I shall give that a miss, £45 to £60 for the full version is too much for me, but thanks for your replies so far.

I failed to notice that. I always use dual ailerons but SMC do not stock the alternative and I have managed to cancel the order.

Looks to be what I want so have ordered one, thanks again.

Thanks, I shall look at those.

Thanks for that but I already have too many Rxs, looking for a plug in one which could be transferred from model to model initially.
