    Good idea Martin although buying pre mixed fuel will work out cheaper than making your own and that's providing you can get the ingredients.....

    Gentlemen shall we get this thread back on topic? I still stand by my earlier comment in using initially the paw you already have, in fact there's nothing actually stopping you starting the build now, the decision over power can wait until later.
  3. paul d
    Martin, build it, stick your paw in it and see how it goes, you could always re-engine it at a later date if a 20 size 4 stroke comes along. I know what you mean about the prices of them, I would love one but there way out of my humble means... ps: unless you didn't know paw are still going strong, excellent support for even old engines and spares if you ever need them are very reasonable.

    why not fit a small diesel? A paw 19 would power that a treat, trying to squeeze a 52 into something designed for a 20 would bring all sorts of problems, prop clearance, weight and I don't think you would have much of a cowl. lovely looking model , be interested to see how the rudder are linked.

    maybe I'm being to simplistic but can't you just hold a plug against the head and spin it over and check for a spark?I trust it's got plenty of compression on the dead cylinder? im just wondering if when the insert came out a tiny bit of swarf scored the bore? Just my thoughts.....

    That paw unless it's gummed up will not not need much of a prime, a few chocked turns is normally enough.

    Oh David that is such sad news, I was only thinking about him the other day. Rest well Brian.

    You can follow them on Facebook if that's your thing.

    Immaculate work sir.

    As I said I sincerely didn't mean to offend and it does look a stunning model but ( bet you knew there would be a "but"!) 19+ sheets of balsa is quite a bit extra...... Just my opinion of course..... I shall now put on my best tin helmet and go and sit on the naughty step 😂😂
  13. paul d
    No offence but it's hardly "a kit" if that amount of extra wood is needed.

    What a lovely looking model Darryl!

    That's the trouble when converting vintage models to modern electrics, it was originally designed for a heavy old sparky. First thing I would do is replace those rather small wheels with some big fat airwheels. I presume the battery etc are as far forward as possible? Try giving it a test glide, you'll be surprised how tolerant those old timers are to the cg position

    John, as Neil says it's not built up at all, the rc area is on tank hill, it's a bit "rugged" but there's miles of air space.

    Welcome Neil, I'm in woking as well and I still fly at chobham common!!

    Don't like relying on the covering to hold washout, best to build it in, pack up the trailing edge towards the tip about 1/8th" ( this figure can be adjusted to suite, a little light trigonometry will give you the correct figure) with the rest of the wing flat on the board then glue up.

    "Grassfibre"! priceless...

    I've been using "eze dope" just lately, water based so no smell etc. Just out of interest what engine did the original use? I'm guessing Brown junior?
  22. paul d
    Oh well spotted Mike!! James May is rather like marmite but I happen to like both.
  23. paul d
    Totally agree Martin, a very interesting programme indeed, Dear old Aunty Beeb missed a trick in not having Arthur Williams present plane spotting live, I shall however watch tonight mainly because I'm sad and simply like looking at aircraft.( maybe I'll mute the sound!!)

    Very good of you Don, I've been enjoying this thread, be a shame to see it die.

    That's interesting Peter, thank you! I presume it could then be used for "iron on coverings" such as litespan?
