As a training officer I would take issue with the E Flite Apprentice being a good trainer, it's too lightly wing loaded and underpowered so flies too slow and won't fly to windward in any significant breeze. We had a spate of people a few years back who learnt on this and what they universally all found was a lot of difficulty transitioning onto the next model and they were all trained with the the assist receivers substituted for non assist receivers as well. Just too easy to fly to teach you to fly in my opinion.

Pretty much given up on HK now, went to buy a transmitter mitt last night from global, surprise surprise it is in stock and guess what, no shipping options so can't buy it at all. Maybe that answers why it's in stock. They really need to sort themselves out before people stop looking altogether.

Hopefully this helps, it's from the HobbyWing website, it seems to show the left connector is for a reverse brake signal wire and the right marked -,+ and S is for the receiver, seems that you only need signal and ground as there is no BEC or external power supply to the ESC, the connection on the side seems to be for programming.

Epoxy is easy, heat it, epoxy melts (slowly) at about 80C, lat time I removed some I just used a hair dryer on hot but a heat gun would be even better if the surface it is on can take it. You can also heat up a knife and get that between two pieces joined with epoxy to melt it off. Can't help with the pva though. Phil

Very much still in business and Chris is there right now.

You can clear the white border left from the glue on shrinking with acetone, but if you borrow from err indoors don't forget to put it back!

If you really want to know just keep upping the order and when you reach their stock limit it will say no and won't let you go through with the order, they might hold big stock of covering roll though it's good stuff like Oracover, very tough and needs a quite high heat setting. Their system will not let you buy what they don't have.

HK stock levels are real time live, if it says it's in stock then they have it I'm a big fan of express shipping from Hong Kong, a bit pricey but it only takes a few days, Keep your order below £135 (inc postage) and you shouldn't have any trouble. Phil

Absolutely priceless, thank you.

It will be fine, use 2 cell life on those servo's myself years ago, 2 cell LiFe at the end of a charge might be 7.2 V but will never be in real life, decay so quick from peak 6.6V is what you 'll really get 5 minutes later, voltages quoted are always nominal + or - 10% anyway unless tighter (military grade) is specified.

Cyno will glue to any wood in a flash and you will never be able to break the glue joint so make sure it's definitely in the right place because a second later you won't move it, if you are gluing in say a dowel to take a screw into a carbon tube you need to get it into the tuber real quick and in one smoot motion, the bond is so strong I wouldn't even consider using anything else, if you can glue a couple of spare bits together first and you will see what I mean.

China Hobby Line have or are just opening their new warehouse in the UK, batteries is pretty much all they do, great batteries in my opinion and understated capacity as well. https://chinahobbyline.com/HomeFront/index

I can edit a pdf file with Adobe creative suite if you want it done pm me.

You need down thrust on the motor.

You would also need to specify the voltage, some are 5V but some are 3.2V and a 3.2V doesn't work well with a 5V TX.

You can't beat HK covering for value but the postage will cost you as much as the film, lots of colours including yellow and these note are 5 metre rolls. https://hobbyking.com/en_us/covering-film-solid-cyan-yellow-5mtr-105.html

Just ordered from the EU warehouse and there is a problem HK really need to sort out, the maximum postage weight available is 2KG, I wanted 4 wing bags at between 1 and 2 KG each, only way to get them was to put through four different orders each under 2 KG. So if what you want is over 2KG you won't get a shipping option and therefore can't buy it. The postage cost was more than the items but lets be honest and stop knocking HK because that was still way cheaper than anything else available and maybe at under £40.00 a packet I might even escape VAT charges as they are supposed to collect them.

A litre of water is exactly 1KG

They use airsoft packs mostly these days, https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-nano-tech-1000mah-3s-20-40c-lipo-airsoft-pack-t-connector.html?queryID=7b596b1063ec0bbe29d4e14d790a584b&objectID=47517&indexName=hbk_live_products_analytics

I think you need to look outside this hobby, maybe have a look/word with Victron energy who specialise in what you are trying to do, maybe solar charging?

Complete File.pdfI think that what you looked at was part of the whole file, here is the whole file.

Best value by far are the YEP ESC's, such a good copy of the genuine YGE one which is a much more expensive ESC that YGE had to redesign their own ESC, that's if you don't mind companies ripping off others copyright that is but that applies a lot to anything that is Chinese.

No I'm talking about calibrating the sticks, sliders and rotary controls on the TX nothing to do with receivers. Go into the radio settings and calibration is in that menu, it's not in the model menu. (from memory).

Did you calibrate the pots when you did the calibration of the sticks? I would recalibrate and make sure to move that knob fully to one side then the other side.
