    Yes this is grounding in the aim of preventing static build up from the belt. Apparently it can cause static discharges that can send gyros haywire. If it was mine I would remove it and bin it.

    Titebond II is an an aliphatic resin I think.

    that looks like an English made mk3 46 to me. OS did make a 53, the mk2.

    You have to renew (and pay) annually for the operator number, otherwise you are flying illegally. The insurance cover states it covers all legal recognised operations....

    YPG are the same as the YEP, they can be had from Aliexpress

    I got the X20 over the X18 mainly as I prefer the way it looks, and the screen is bigger.

    Anything post 2016 should not be compatible with DSM2

    I would mostly agree with Outrunner on the Ethos/EdgeTX choice. I upgraded my X10S to an X20S this year. I ran FROS on the X10, Open/Edge TX is a hard no for me, I can use it, but don't like it at all. Ethos is easy to use and may be the better choice coming from Futaba. As for the hardware, I love the X20S.

    Same for me switches, like to know I get repeatable flap deflections without messing with a pot or slider

    Acrowot kit and a Saito 82 goes very well.

    If it wasn't 700 miles round trip, I would have been very interested. Go on Jon, you know you want too.

    historic fcc

    I have just had 2 of the no.7 nipples delivered from RCJapan, they do not come with washers.

    FA-125 would be over the top, but 'vertical indefinitely' is just that.

    One in our club with a Thunder Tiger 91 2 stroke, which fits this description. 4 stroke equivalent would probably be the FA-125.

    I would also recommend the Savox 0351. If bigger torque numbers are what you want, the Savox 0352 would be my choice, not needed, but more is better right???

    sounds like the 85" 62cc one from the wing area.

    you have probably already tried, but how close is your radio to the rx? signal swamping when too close can stop binding esp on D8. try a few feet apart.

    I haven't found this at all with mine, sure it's heavier, doesn't fly quite as slow, but is still well mannered and lands normally, the trade off for me was well worth it. I wanted a ballistic missile, and a 91 2 stroke does that just fine, all of the fun.

    Bosch PKP 18 E is a good lower priced option

    Andy might be worth checking the o ring on the idle needle, I have had a couple of asp 120's and it has been a very loose fit on both and must have been leaking as replacing with a well fitting one improved the idle a bunch as it was actually possible to adjust properly. I also experimented with pro synth a couple of years ago, bought 8 gallons. Ended up giving 7 away, didn't work for me.

    mine does a similar thing, I assume it is like the step-differential charge mentioned on the above linked page. It bulk charges until I would expect it to be nearing full, then cuts off periodically for a moment then ramps back up. this repeats and it cuts off usually as it is ramping up after one of the pauses.
  23. Richard Wills 2
    I should hope it would continue to charge at the selected current to the end of the charge, that is what I asked it to do afterall. If the current drops towards the end, you risk a false peak and the battery not being fully charged. I do not consider this to be an overheat issue, rather it is expected, and normal. More than one way to skin a cat, and we all do what we are comfortable with.

    Other than mine was the version with mech retracts, exactly as those, mine was the earlier escale version. can't see any difference other than the retracts. IIRC I ended up at 130mm on the cg
  25. Richard Wills 2
    I had one until last year with an OS 91 surpass, perfect combination, flew fantastic. The manual cg was extremely nose heavy though, it needed best part of 400g in the nose to balance as per manual and felt horrible. Gradually removed it bit by bit until only 50g remained, and what a sweetie it was then.
