    I had 3 MG Midgets, and a hard top on the first, but no way today could I cock my leg up to get into one today.

    First you have to have enough room to open the drivers' door, try the new mini for one.

    Got one, a Wren Jubilee, after my Wren 54 I got in kit form, another story that left me with a bad taste in my mouth,,,

    No tug with a piped Rossi 90re, my ducted fans were worse, OPS .40 Spp rear fan, 40% nitro and an Ops 'gold plug for a 5-minute flight.

    They forgot to put the handicapped sign where the bmw parking spot is.🤢

    For the maths experts, 800ml in 8 minutes at 35€ the 5 litres, and it's only a 15cc 2 stroke !.

    I saw an old club member who had two around 5 years ago ( he is now 68) and he has gone from a complete handicapped couch potato to now walking slowly with a slight limp, no stick, and can hold a conversation without stuttering, which at first was really bad. So don't give up, it takes time.

    I did fit a couple of stainless steel boat silencers to it, that made it sound like a badly silenced 10cc of the 60's.

    Yes that is a nice innovation, I would love to see a drawing and a few words to explain how it works, or is it just a hole in the cam follower ?.

    Is that the 1.60m one, I had one with a Dle 20ra more than enough, really noisy, so I re motorised it with a Saito 150.

    No, an electric motor does the job, you can hear it whirring. Probably a worm gear.

    I have been doing it for around 25 years, head up displays etc,,,,

    A couple of years ago, our club president was walking to work when a woman parked opposite a driving school on a zebra crossing, he asked her why she couldn't'd park further away and walk it as handicapped people in a wheelchair couldn't get past, she said mind your own business, he came back in his Gendarmerie uniform and slapped a 135€ ticket on her car. PS, it wasn't a Tesla 🤣

    I never clip fuel lines up, I like a messy dangling approach,,,🤣; We had a petrol plane that had the same sort of problem a few weeks ago, the 30°c + weather had softened the tygon fuel line and kinked it. So is it round 4' ?. Keep it coming, it is interesting reading.

    Safety first, UNPLUG THE BATTERY !🤢

    Give away prices

    Even Worse in France, they even put another tax on it, as Kevin says out of context, I hava an Aprilia RSV4r, around 10 litres to 100 klm, and my Jag 13 to 14 to 100 klm, they are like my fuel guzzling Saito 120 and Rossi 90, they put a smile on my face that you can't put a price on that.

    I have around 15 frsky receivers, the TRF6 nave the other one with the plugs on the end, they have a better range than the 617 and work perfectly in electrics and IC petrol included.

    A small humbrol one is enough

    Another storm in a tea cup, no wonder we have so many laws, just get on with living !

    Not a lot of arguing going on since the EV thread is closed, maybe a fuel thread would liven things up .😄

    Of course, as has he mentioned, he will find out Sunday when he flies it.

    I have had a few problems with frothing but mainly when the tank is empty on two strokes, as for bubbles, you can look for them in the silicone once landed, dirt in the carbs, didn't it just come back from being upgraded ? As you say, full tank on the ground, not much room for foaming to occur.
  25. Paul De Tourtoulon
    Coloured silicone, no way to see if you suffered from air bubbles. Good luck for Sunday.
