Lovely, well done. Blimey, does it need to land at that speed always ??. not a tip staller is it ??. Love one, if there are kits available.

Thanks Richard. Mush appreciated. Maurice

Sorry guys. Otherwise engaged. Richard; your sketch of the addition to the L/E: how far along the wing is this meant for. Just at the tips, or ??. And it is always the left wing. Cheers

I read Piers talking about flaps. Differntial aileron: no washout, ARTF: 68 inch chipmonk, weighs 8lbs.

Question for the experts. Got a Chipmunk 68 inch span that tip stalls at the merest suggestion of landing. Would flaps help ?? Maurice

I am getting cheesed off now. Live on the Isle of Wight and running a model club, I take virtually every chance I can to fly; fixed wing anything. We've had constant rain and cannot access our field, I have flown ONCE since the 7th of October 2023....... I know lots in the same boat, but its not funny anymore...... Maury

Jon I have a defunct ASP. 65 head; i believe its the same size as a 70 ?. Any good to you let me know. Maury

Jon is right. Lower nitro, and close that air bleed. 10% nitro MAX. Maury

They were indeed the best times. So excited the night before Sandown I couldn't sleep the night before.

I have a second hand 49 inch span Salamander, or VolksJager. It was originally brushed/NiCad technology, but I want to convert it to Brushless. The motor sits in the middle of the duct; 70mm fan. the efflux is 62mm. My questions are; do I mount the new brushless in the same place, and put the inlet tube back, or do I do away with the inlet tube and mount the new fan at the front inlet and make a new longer efflux duct; and if so, what exit size of efflux ??. Looking for about the same size fan i.e. 70mm on 3 or 4s. Regards

A man after my own heart. 35 megs is as clean as a whistle. 1976 Horizon, 1977 Skyleader (bless) then 1988 Futabas FF6 and 9. Now 14SG, which is the club fliers dogs doo dahs......

Sounds like fun !!!

Thanks Jon, you have reinforced my own theory. Thank you..

I'm hoping to go to next year's all scale weekend,hopefully. Hope my little Flair SE5 doesn't feel bullied and overshadow by these awesome monsters...... Maurice

Yep, all these tips and tricks sound plausible and help, I expect. The one hint,tips or any other thing people cannot teach is this;Practice, practice and probably more practice........
