Welcome aboard Peter,,

Here we go again, when you only have old models, my unlucky, lucky streak continues !, I got my Turbine powered Rafale out, my field tank is a 5litre go cart tank, it won't pump!, the clunk ( 25+ years old) is in 2 pieces in the bottom of the tank, anyway, I managed to tank up my plane, usual preflight checks, take off buzz around then the motor goes to idle OMG !, in fact it had flamed out, I dived to the runway, and put the wheels down on the threshold and ( here we go again😇) a perfect landing, took it back to the table, and like my field tank, the clunk in the main tank had also sheared off from age, so it only used half and emptied the hopper tank, still, that will give me something to do this week, change all the fuel lines.

3d print them,,,

Are the AliExpress ones gold-plated ?, Why not the original ones at HK ?

Welcome back, My Futaba radio ( FX-30) has a lipo in it as that what it was designed for, all my other radios have Nihm batteries as do my IC powered planes, 4/5 elements ie, 4.8v/6v.

I only fit filters in my field box, not in my planes.

I have the baby one,

You don't have to go back that far, in the middle 80's I knew a Swiss couple who when in Paris lived in their ex army Bedford radio lorry as a camping car, picking up good furniture in the Paris streets and living comfortably on it reselling on the flea markets in Paris and Montpellier, they made enough to buy a place at The Grand Motte,,,

Local bricolage company gets their plywood delivered with some really nice 3mm / 5mm beech ply separating them from damage, any yes all in the skip, no way would he give me a bit of it !🤢

2012, my Lancaster,, What does it cost ?, a club member is glueing his Spanish 2 metre Rafale together at the moment, I hope it lasts longer than his 'one flight' Mirage 2000.

Just tested mine 300 rpm, lead light and fridge, so no difference even in the temperature,,🤣

I didn't have fluorescent lights at the time, (1980's) just a simple one.

"Maybe" Boris had a little 'tipple' of Vodka ?🤣

Have you checked its accuracy against a lightbulb, if I remember it should show 300 rpm.

No, he recalibrated his radio, but his helicopter kept tipping over on take off, so he went home and came back the next day and then flew.
