Back to square one, the guy who wanted it has backed out!

I'll have it!

That’ll be a 20x20 then I suppose?

That’s a big one Eric 🤔

I would suggest starting off with it at 80mm and then see how it feels.

With the Overlander 3548 900Kv motor I'm swinging a 12x8 prop and that gives it nearly 2:1 power to weight ratio and provides it with unlimited vertical. Going bigger will increase the chances of prop breakage on landings.

Glad you mentioned that, I’ve now removed 2/3rds of the weight which moves the CG back to 90 mm back from F2 but I think I can remove all of the weight which will move it back to approximately 100mm back.

Say that after you've had a couple of G&Ts

Yes John it was rather good, I also picked up 2 orders for the dolly!

Just got back from the field and from trying out Dolly 2:

Same here Brian, I’ve reported it on the RCM&E FB page.

I did think about putting some flexible super glue on it and I could also use the glop Hyundai provide to seal it. Either way it's not a 'proper' fix.

Not scuff marks, they are the chalk marks put on by the tyre shop. Plenty of hedges around here but not aware of going close to anything last week, but then I am an old git so memory could be somewhat below par.

Not so much electric cars in general but specifically mine. I had a flat tyre yesterday, and I mean no pressure in it! I had a notifaction about a week ago about low pressure on one tyre so pumped it up and it had been fine, until yesterday. anyway I took it into the local tyre 'shop' and they found the problem but as it's in the sidewall it can't be repaired and they couldn't get hold of the tyre as their wholesaler doesn't supply them. I trawl on the 'net brought some up and all for roughly the same price, I'm glad I was sitting down, £280! Now here's the thing, is this a puncture caused through general use or some smartarse with a pin? IMG_8528.MOV

I think the problem was to do with an over zealous use of the hot air gun to dry the paint, it seemed to make the mask adhesive more adhesive! But I agree that pre sticking it to something first would be a good idea.

My one is green canvas and has wing mirrors plus a horn for when shopping at Lidl. However mine hasn't got the fancy whitewall tyres hence why I bought the last pair of plain black ones from Amazon. TBH I had already nicked the wheels off the cart hence why I had to buy replacements before I went out shopping again. Anyway I think I'm due an upgrade soon so have been mulling over this baby I am rather taken with the front castor (or is that now frowned upon because they may leave a brown sticky mess?) wheels as they may help when negotiating the tight bends in the vegetable aisle and will allow a tight turn in at the cashier desks (when one becomes vacant I can get in there before the other old gits).

Wheels were from Amazon Richard. I actually think we need some more watering cans as the ones we've got are now full.

So all assembled But I decided to modify it to have a nose support And this is the final dolly frame ready to try out on Sunday. All of the foam supports are removable and the brackets movable so it could be used for smaller models too.

Thanks for the pictures and explanation John, and also your kind words! Regarding the motor, mine is an Overlander 3548 900Kv and has more than enough power. The CG is 70mm back from F2 (LE) and I would suggest going with that for your first flights. I had to add about 270g of lead to get to that CG but will be removing 2/3rds of it for the next flight (once I have fixed the broken engine former / plate) to see how it performs with a more reward CG, at the moment whilst it is very planted and vice free, when inverted I'm having to input too much down elevator plus it's very difficult to get it to spin without forcing it into one (why do I want to spin anyway????!!!)

What supports the tail?
