After 8 years and 847 logged flights, my trusty .75-.91 Seagull Zlin's firewall finally came undone. Some fuel damage was also inevitable. I laminated up a slightly thicker firewall, to give more gluing area. The triangle supports were also made from laminated ply. (Not having any other hard wood strips at hand). Having during it's life added flaps, repaired a snapped fuselage and beefed up the undercarriage plate, this plane is now getting a little heavy. But she's not quite ready to be retired yet.... Here's the pictures. Zlin Firewall.mp4

Lovelly work..

Yip, just the camera..

Rebuilt and flying well. Might become a favorite... Bipe Funx264.mp4

Rebuilt this 'rescue puppy. 52 inch span, powered by an OS 55 Ax. Lots of work but the result makes it worth it. l t this 52 inch 'rescue

This sad looking biplane was left in our clubhouse as a 'give away. Having nothing on the bench at the time, I took it under my wing... We aren't quite sure but we think that it is a Bucker Jungmeister from the mid 80's with a modified tail / rudder. 52 inch span and powered by an OS 55AX2 and 12x6 prop, it flies quite well. \ Not having built a bipe before, my biggest concern was calculating the correct CG. I'm glad so say that, after all the research and calculating , it was spot on. First up, the wing...... Bipe Rebuild, Wings_x264.mp4

Uni-Rx is a great bit of FW. Thank you Mike B...

Just to follow up. All sorted and working, thanks to Mike B over on the Aloft forum. Easy when you know how...

Need some help please. I have Installed my first Uni-Rx firmware on an RX8R and activated with the activation code and that seems to be successful. The green LED is on solid, the VFR is found under the sensors and when switching power to the Rx on and off, the familiar 'telemetry lost, telemetry recovered' is uttered. However, none of the servo outputs are working. I did make and error when trying to enter the activation code in that I flashed the Rx with the firmware again, then I re-read the instructions again and and went to the 'Activate' setting and entered the code. Would that have caused issues?

Three pipes for me...

A drop of canopy glue in my case..

Lovelly👍

I too have the 'Magic numbers for modelers ' save on my computer. When I did more electric flying, I found it to be remarkably accurate when compared to logged data.
