  1. Any futaba, hitec Jr or Graupner 3kilo servo will do.

  3. Most tyres that are punctured on the tread can be properly repaired they need a patch vulcanised on the inside even on moto bike tyres, but definitely not on the side walls.
  4. Me also and 'time out' all this morning till now,,,
  5. Late one night, a burglar broke into a house he thought was empty. He tiptoed through the living room but suddenly he froze in his tracks when he heard a loud voice say: "Jesus is watching you!" Silence returned to the house, so the burglar crept forward again. "Jesus is watching you," the voice boomed again. The burglar stopped dead again. He was frightened. Frantically, he looked all around. In a dark corner, he spotted a bird cage and in the cage was a parrot. He asked the parrot: "Was that you who said Jesus is watching me?" "Yes", said the parrot. The burglar breathed a sigh of relief, and asked the parrot: "What's your name?" "Moses," said the bird. "That's a dumb name for a parrot," sneered the burglar. "What idiot named you Moses?" The parrot said, "The same idiot who named the Rottweiler Jesus."
  6. A shame that I live in France, I would love the H-300 and my first helicopter, the Lark.

  10. Amongst others, I tape this on to my planes.
  11. I wasn't far from a crash similar to yours a couple of months ago, I was doing my preflight check before my days flying only to see that one half of the elevator was not in line with the other, one servo but 2 links to the halves, one of the rubbish quick links had stripped a bit of the steel ( chocolat) command wire.
  12. I did use it in the 1980's when I started flying helicopters but not at all anywhere now, it can be dangerous on the elevator when landing, especially in windy conditions, so NO thanks,,,
  13. Cutting it a bit fine for the UC legs ?.
  14. No local boatyards where you could pick up a bit of brass from an old prop shaft ?.
  15. Interesting, after 50+years, of rc planes I hadn't even thought about that.
  16. I give my planes a charge in my car at around 11.30am, as that is when I have decided what to fly, I use Robbe infinity 2 on 'automatic', and have done probably for over 20 years since this charger came out, I now have 3 of them. I unplug my batteries when I have finished flying, this one showed that it was fully charged and took about 200mah of charge, and this battery wasn't all that old, probably less than 5 years, I do have some that are more than 10 years old without any problem.
  17. Beware of battery's !, I got one of my Spitfires out after probably 9 months ( battery disconnected from the switch) gave it a charge, down to the field, open up the retracts, filled the tank and flooded my good old Enya 120 4c, checked the command throws which seemed a bit slow, so I checked them for a couple more minutes and every servo just stopped moving the battery was completely dead, a lucky escape.
  18. I used to think that, 'but' I got my Saito FG-30 out after a year with 1/2litre of my old 5% petrol mix and although I had to open the main screw 1/4 of a turn it ran perfectly, I re mixed another litre and flew it another 2 days without touching the carb even though it was a new mix.
  19. It's the size of a small trailer,,😄
  20. Does it come with a 2" or 50mm ball hitch ?.😂
