  1. Was teaching a chap at our field...very rewarding...and a couple of flights myself...
  2. Fast or slow? thernaler or aerobat? Foam, wood or glass?
  3. Soarcerer... go on, you know you want to.... retro, glider, what's not to like?
  4. Hmmm, it was there a little while ago...I'll try again from the PC tomorrow...
  5. I'm still waiting to maiden this thang...
  6. A lot depends on what yu want to do with it. Hyperion SCDs for the ailerons and MG types for the flaps I reckon...
  7. Bump...late reply to this, but I picked one up at a local bring and buy and am converting it to a PSS type....hope to have it flying soon
  8. If your cable is bending, try soldering it along its length to stiffen it up
  9. Out maidening my Sunbird...too cold for long flights but top hoonery was had...
  10. I'm looking for ideas for our slope club fly-ins next year...any ideas? So far I've got Limbo and Spot landing...whT else is out there? Cheers BG
  11. I cannot wait to get my hands on the SB I've ordered...It'll be my 'other' 60" mouldie so I can now use the other as a holiday hack
  12. I hsve an SX and whilst it's a great Tx if money is a consideration, then keep in mind qthe price of Rx's...blimmin' expensive!
  13. What can I saw but WOW! I loved it there and am now no longer a 'Nats' virgin
  14. Naahhhh Convert it ti a Tri-plane instead.   Easy to make spare ribs with the ones you already have...
  15. I've just bought a YT Cessna 185 and am now scouting for a 26cc petrol motor to put in that
  16. I've got one of these and managed to snap the fuselage. Fixed it by sticking a golf club shaft down the fuz, using expanding foam to hold it, then a glass bandage sanded smooooth. works fine and is back in the air...Result!   it's a good wee glidder
  17. Mines currently up for grabs on e-bay   http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&item=190311813772
  18. The Thunder Tiger wing called the V-Bat was nice but fragile, no good for landing in the heather on a slope reallyEdited By Bustergrunt on 04/06/2009 19:14:27
  19. in answer to the first post however, i'd say it's not really comparable to anything else, as it's a childs toy which has been altered. the fuz is bendy as are the wings (although i dropped a carbon rod in mine to stiffen it all up). So 1. wing loading...dunno but as light as I can manage 2. twichy...can be if the rates are too high, i like to play with high and low rates depending on the wind speed 3. lifting capability...wots that?...it stays up well enough and keeps going up. 4. manoeuverability...yup lots (just not loops too much) buti can land it where i want and hand catcch it. 5. Speed, nope not really, it doesn't penetrate too well
  20. Well i was out this a.m. maidening my pitcheron Fox...once i'd trimmed it out i was very happy with it although still reluctant to loop. However I now have 2 of them, 1 x pitcheron and 1 x Ail/elev version...so i'll be getting rid of one to a flying mate, only he doesn't know it yet
