Well, I know that perfectly well. Have traded with modellers all over the world, never had a problem... Lesson learnt - the hard way! I will however contact admins and try to get him banned from this site!

Damn it I have been scammed 🤑 I was contacted in a PM by the user ruimarinho and he/she told me a Gordon Roberts had a wing panel matching the one I searched for, giving me his email [email protected] for me to contact him. Well, I was so happy I got reckless, and PayPalled the money as family and friends, since that was one of his contitions. At this point I should have pulled the plug... So that was 180 USD up in smoke. Any body know any of these skumbags? Posts

This is the plane in question 🙂

Looks like my search has to continue 🤫

I have been able to source the part needed, thanks to several of you guys reading this 🙂 Thanks!

The wing is not composite, it's foam abachi, all glassed. We are fairly good at repairing, but an original part is allways the best...

My flying buddy has had an unfortunate landing with his newly acquired Tangent Nimbus 4, resulting in a broken outer right wingtip. Unfortunately, Tangent does not make spare parts for these anymore, so I’m seeking a replacement wingtip for my mate! So, do you have one, know about one, know somebody that might have one – please rise your hand and give us a shout! Your costs will be covered! Thanks!

It has been flying again... Quite dramatic too... And yes, without the nacelles... (I'm slow - I know)

I have scratch built quite a few indoor models, from large 2m airliners to smaller more traditional models. I buy no less than 10 sub micro servos at the time, since I frequently experience that these servos fail on me... So, what kind of 1,5-2g servos do you prefer in your indoor creations?

Maiden flight video 🙂

After some cg adjustments I had 4 great flights last night! Video to come soon!

I'm slowly getting there... Wings done with servos and retracts. The legs on the undercarriage has to be shorten to give it the right look low on the ground. Still have some work to do, but hope to fly it at our annual Xmas indoor show on the 28th. But first family and Christmas! Happy holidays 🎅🎅🎅

Id like to share some of my experiences with flying really big models indoor... My first and largest airliner, my Boeing 777-200 has a wingspan of 2 meters, and weighs in at approx 585 grams. The big question is: How not to hit the wall??? During my research, differential thrust was essential. And in the video below you can se how it goes when differential thrust is not activated... I use two channels for throttle, and have two mixes with the rudder. When I apply full left rudder, the thrust increases on the right engine with 25% and the left engine reduces it's throttle with 15%. This really get things moving around - but you have to know how to use the rudder!!! So if you are doing a twin indoor - this might be of help to you! Enjoy the video, including the crash into the wall 🤣

I have had several questions regarding if there are formers or longitudinal stringers in the fuselage. There are bulkheads in the fuselage (3mm and 6mm depron), and they are glued in with only a small hole in the middle. When they are in place they are all cut back to a minimum. Bulkheads are in the front just ahead of the cockpit window, then there are half bulkheads where the nose gear is to be glued in. Next bulkhead is just in front of the circular fuselage. just ahead of the wings. This one is strictly not needed, but helps med when the forward part is going to be glued in place. It started with a full "plate" and glued in place. Afterwards it is cut back to only a few mm. The two most important bulkheads are over the wings, to these the two wingboxes are secured. As with the others, these are also cut down to a minimum to save weight. In addition there is one just in front of the horizontal stab, to ensure that the fuse keeps it shape in this area. The added photo is taken from the very rear of the fuse (I need access to install the elevator servos)
