I met one of my 'younger' friends ( an old customer) that I gave an old biplane with a cox in it, he said that where he was flying there was an upsurge of small glows, so much so the main model fuel company in France ( Labema) had come out with a special fuel for them.

A busy afternoon with youngsters from around the area studying Aeronautics, 20 kids, 4 teachers, a couple of parents and 4 planes on buddy boxes, 12 club members 2 demonstrating with a 20cc methanol Chipmunk and a 3 d flyer with an align 700, including an FPV Bixler, in the picture on the left the club President giving a lecture ( he is a Gendarme 🙃) while the others are flying or watching them,. Finished with the club members drinking a beer after that they had all left.

A real nut job,,,🤢

Electric is ok if you want to fly something lifeless around the sky, and you are deaf.

No, something to shout about today, however at least 100 yards away from Ev owners.😂

I second that, anything up to 6.000€ subsidies for EV's and a few bob more for your personal charging point in France and some free parking here and there. Not forgetting that we are taxed at 64% on fuel, whereas electric is only 20% !.

Tell the local paper reporter that It fell out of the sky when a Boeing went past, and you will get all the papers posting it on the front page, the TV will all jump on the bandwagon stating 350 lives at risqué of crashing, in a town etc, and of course the Police.

It isn't, yesterday at a local club meeting, only 1 Hyundi Ev, 30 Ic cars 3 Ic motorbikes and even a Ford Anglia estate, yes in France, as for planes 1 bixler 1 flying wing a biplane and 2 gliders on electrics, all the others including beginners on Ic planes, the tug Ic and around another 30+ planes all Ic and 1 big turbine powered Mirage 2000.

I got mine from the chemists at Newcastle in the early 70's, and my little cox's ran on it without nitro.

I Never start a new model till the last one is finished, like eating, I don't leave half finished meals and dirty plates all over the house,,,

I use Tamiya 7.2 sub C stick packs, the Rx run off of 5 elements and the ignition from the end at 7.2 volts, no radio interference and no problems with 2 separate battery's.

I would try putting it on a slow charger, like this, first.

If you haven't flown or put a helicopter together, do yourself a favour ang take it to a club where someone has before you do yourself an injury.

I only have a blank page with found on YT and 'Please accept cookies"
