Thanks Simon, that's impressive that the dummy engine stays in one piece at 6000 rpm, is it a 3d print? must be well balanced.I particularly like the fact that the dummy engine starts and stops exactly with the propeller motion, unlike some others where the the prop stops but the engine continues rotation.

Simon, very interesting, I assume that the rotary is not rigidly fixed to the electric motor.Does it have a clutch /slip mechanism?

Thanks John and Engine Doctor,just as well I did not rush off and order the sc70fs.However I do have a BNIB asp 52 four stroke which does have identical mounting, so will use this instead. One of our club members may be able to have a look at the ASP 61 fs and give me some guidance. regards Henry

Thank you Engine Doctor, that was a very quick response.

I have an ASP FS61AR installed in a Gypsy moth , it is proving some what unreliable.I have had this engine quite some time and I am considering replacing it.Since ASP engines are no longer available, I was wondering if a SC 70 fs would fit the existing mounting bolts which are permanently installed. I cannot find any installation drawings of either motor to check bolt hole and crankcase width to fit existing bearers. Does any body know if this is viable? regards Henry

Hi Martin, Looking on google images for Lozenges, their seems no consensus on the actual colors. So I am going to go with the colours on the 1987 R.M. Lozenge info.So will try a sample 1 mtr print at 1:5.7 scale which is closer scale for the flair Fokker D7 kit.

Just done a drawing of a top wing in 4 colour lozenge, do the colours look o/k? UPPERWING_LOZENGE.pdf

Try 1 page Martin to seeLOZENGE10011.bmp if that works

Found in a 1987 Radio Modeller (July) a template for Lozenge painting.Only having a A4 scanner I had to "stitch" 4 copies. It is for the top wing surfaces with the 4 colour scheme , at various scales. 287031855_Lozengescan.bmp

Payneib, That looks incredible, well done,definitely a labour of love.On a different tac has anybody got any experience with the Spoonflower fabrics?

Hi Martin how about a custom print onto fabric (68 gsm polyester lining), see this site https://maake.com/pages/fabric-printing-price-list Henry

Managed to update the receiver using the Painless 360 video, I was lucky that I kept the s port lead and only needed to reverse the + & - wires . Bound now to the XJT module, so I have learned something new today. Thanks for all the help and suggestions. Henry

Just found a painless 360 video, going to give it a go, what could possibly go wrong !!!!

The XJT module was bought fairly recently so would have the latest LBT firmware, the Archer Gr6 was also a recent purchase so presumably has the latest firmware.The G-RX8 is a least 2 yrs old and maybe fcc firmware, however no marking on the receiver to support this possibility.
