  1. I sanded the formers down to meet the veneered foam on my first one. Tailwheel
  2. Mine is similar although you do need to put in a bit of effort to overcome it (unless you indicate)! The lane follow option is more like auto pilot and is very good on most (not country lanes) roads but does warn you if you take your hands off the wheel for too long. I do use both functions when on major roads but that doesn't happen that often!
  3. Yep, that's the one that gets switched off each time I start, I think EU (?) laws state that the it must default to ON, which is a shame but not a big issue.
  4. Split elevator, 2 into 1 connector / balance bar.
  5. Yes. Whose fault is that? As has already been explained, the areas were setup as a means of communication down to clubs, if you or your club can’t be bothered to attend then that is down to you, not the BMFA. Go to your club meetings, make sure that your club rep goes to area meetings and reports back don’t just sit back as an armchair warrior and whinge. As a matter of interest, what is your own club’s 5 year plan?
  6. On a sad note, fellow club member and my best mate, Ian McDowell died last Wednesday, so today a few members got together and had a 12 noon fly-by in tribute to a great guy. He loved small models some off which I've shown on here before hence why most of us selected our own smaller ones to fly.
  7. And what a great place it is.
  8. I think that Steve is referring to Proportional Representation.
  9. I think that triangular fillets, as suggested above, epoxied to the bulkhead and fuse sides will actually be stronger than metal brackets.
  10. That’s whey there are area reps in each club and area meetings. Voice your views / ideas to your rep who should then raise it at the next area meeting. Those views will then get passed on to central BMFA.
  11. It was the membership who voted in favour of the NFC.
  12. The Centre is in a position where all weekends through the main flying season are booked for events of one sort or another, not a bad position to be in. Where you get the idea that it is run on a few season tickets I don’t know but I suggest that you read it’s latest blog to get a better idea about what is happening there.
  13. I think that most clubs are facing the same hard cold fact that membership is dwindling and that some time in the future (10 - 20 years) we will be an elite sport / hobby enjoyed by the few, where members are paying probably more than double what they currently pay for club membership.
