Thanks all for the warm welcome and advice.
I will dig my radio, planes and engines out of my shed and see what is salvageable. The problem I may find is not having ever meant to stop flying I didn’t oil the engines or even remove the batteries from the tx or planes. Not that I’m trying to talk myself into needing new gear you understand
I’m getting over a neck op at the moment, which is really why I’ve thought about RC again as prior to the op I wouldn’t have been able to look up sufficiently to fly them, hopeful now I will again in the future.
In terms of what else I have model wise, I’m not too sure. I did buy a heli probably 15 or so years ago but never got to grips with it, I imagine most are electric these days are they? I seem to remember struggling to set the mixture up as not as easy as a plane where you can just set it on full chat. Is there a procedure for setting the mixture on a heli 2 stroke as can’t get to the needle with the rotors spinning? I do have a new OS 4 stroke, by new I mean unused, probably bought it 20 years ago, as a replacement for a model i’d just finished at the time that was stolen in a burglary. Have a few other planes in various degrees of disrepair, including one I can’t remember the name of that is small with a swept wing, a West motor and from memory flew extremely fast!
I’m near High Wycombe now, so not sure what clubs are in this area? Does Brian Cooper still fly by the way, we used to exchange Christmas cards for years but haven’t heard from him for a while now, would be good to catchup.
Thanks again for all the help,
Phill.
