Surpass 3542 1000kv motor, you can slacken off the outer can grub screw, move the circlip to the groove on the end of the shaft and tap the shaft through. Use a prop collet to mount the prop. Just done this on a Vans RV 4 with a Surpass 3548 motor. Alternatively a cutting disc on a dremel.

Probably a serfer error!

Thank you for putting penne to paper.

In Ireland, there's a good correlation between winning a Nobel Prize and being a Farmer. If you're a Farmer you are most likely to be out- standing in your field.

A friend of mine listened to the same heavy metal group all the time, he went to the doctor who said that he was suffering from OC/DC

And check the balance plug/leads to make sure that all the connections are good. I checked a battery which appeared to have one cell with much higher IR until I plugged the balance board into the charger properly.

If your main concern is to protect electrical equipment and batteries from cold temperatures the make a suitably sized box from Kingspan insulation, put a pet bed heater in it and plug it into the mains (assuming that the shed has a mains supply). Very cheap to run.

Thanks Steven, I had completely forgotten about that.

Definitely the jacket, he'll have a lot that he didn't pay for.

Thanks, I have used cgCalc but it's always useful to have the opinion of someone who's flown the model and it doesn't help with the control throws.

I have inherited a nicely built Colibri from the estate of a late fellow club member. It appears to be from the Peter Miller plan which I have downloaded from Outerzone. Unfortunately I cannot find CoG and control throw information, can anyone help please?

These are a little smaller and lighter, I have used quite a few of them. https://www.4-max.co.uk/servo-emax-ES08MAII.html Smallest I have use was this one in a RES glider spoiler. https://alshobbies.co.uk/ripmax-sd150-micro-servo-9g-0-16s-1-5kg-p-sd150-p-sd150?search=ripmax servo

If the sausages are returned, will there be peas and a two steak solution in the middle east?

Could have been worse, might have been a an enormous King Dick!

The spec for the ARTF version shows a 2212 1400kv motor turning a 12x6 prop with a 2s battery. If you are going to use the propdrive motor with a 3 battery you will probably have to drill new mounting holes in the fuselage to mount the motor, the battery and motor combination will be heavier so you will have to move the battery back to get the cg right. Also you need a 7 inch prop which is pretty small for the size of model. I would prefer to use a lower kv motor and a larger prop, at least 10 inch possibly 12 inch.

True. The only way to get a correct colour is to measure the colour of the original with one on these. https://www.xrite.com/categories/portable-spectrophotometers/ci6x-family

If you can get hold of a number of colour photos in digital format and download the photo editor program "GIMP" which is free, you can colour correct using say a black tyre or the white of the roundel as the reference. you can then read off the measured l*a*b* colour space numbers using the colour picker function. You could then contact your preferred paint supplier with this information and they could recommend their closest matching paint.

Not sure what the current rating of the original motor is. I replaced both the motor and ESC when I uprated my Riot.

I've a sinking feeling that his relationship is about to go down the plughole. She won't be overflowing with thanks.

Brings back font memories

I suppose breakfast time is a bit early for a good sprout and pickled onion vindaloo.
