I would love it...possible camera plane

Hi Sy, Can you reccomend control surface movements as I can't see any on the plan?

Sorry to here that Barry.If I find out I'll let you know

I have the same problem Barry. I see your post was back in August. Have you had any luck since? 

Only just getting into electric and would love this model to follow on from the EZ Fan I'm building.

Thanks Andy, will do as I havn't furthered my electric side of things. I may have a look at Wings and Wheels this weekend.

Brian, yes it worked well, the cardboard camera. I would have expected a more shakey result. The camera on the heli will perform a lot better with more light. I think it'll suprise you if you get a good sunny day(not sure whether the Twister will perform so well outside tho'!

Thanks Bob, I'll give it a go(gently!)

Does any one have any tips for repairing wings where the veneer has separated from the foam? I built a Newman Precision Loaded Dice 60 sport and was very pleased with the results, which made a very accurate model. I glassed the fuselage, which took a lot of patience, but looked great. Before I could cover the wings with film huge bubbles appeared under the veneer.I got fairly depressed about this and shelved the project, which has made the condition worse.I tried injecting white glue into the voids abd taping the veneer down, but a bubble would appear somewhere else.

Good name for the subject Matt! i'm afraid I'm still in the learning process myself.I did see quite a thorough explanation on one of the other threads. Have a search around the site. Good luck.

Good luck Dickie. Brian: Great, I must try that in the Summer. Love to see anyone's field from the air. I know they sometimes pop up in the mag., but it would be good to see some in the Gallery.

Good point about the smoke David! As a matter of interest, is there ever enough light in Finland at winter time,to fly- or do you wait until the longer summer days and fly twice as much?

Dickie, I've made this sound a bit long winded.Within My Pictures you can highlight your photo and under Picture Tasks on the left hand side, second box down, click "email this file" and proceed as above.This will reduce your photo considerably, but as far as getting it to 12kb exactly, without additional software,I'm afraid I don't know how.

Well Dickie, this is quite a thorny topic. If you don't have any photo software, such as Adobe Photoshop Elements and your operating system is Windows XP, try this. Double click on your photo in My Pictures.It will open in a window like your Internet Explorer window.Go to File/send/a page by email. A window pops up and asks"Make all my pictures smaller" and click okay.This will bring up your Outlook Express box with your photo showing as an attachment Double click on the attachment, which will bring up your photo in it's reduced form. Then save it in the normal way. There are many types of photo imaging software, but if they have a "save for web" option this will reduce the picture for you.You can help things along by reducing the physical picture size when you scan it and if you have a choice, selecting a low picture quality at a resolution of 72dpi. Sorry this all sounds a bit long winded, but it's difficult without knowing your computer setup.

thanks Steve, I appreciate what you're saying about Puffin. I did mail 4 or 5 companies regarding motor setups, independently of this forum and I was delighted with the response from all of them.The mail I got from John at Puffin just seemed to hit the spot, for me. Well, yes the electric ethos is a certainly a good one.I'm just struggling to get to grips with the technology,jargon and fear of the unknown! I'm sure it'll come with time, after all it's not Rocket Science........or is it!

wow, 5 turns seems a lot to me too. I've always started with about one and three quarters to two turns and taken it from there.(40-60 size 2 strokes, OS, Irvine and SC)
