The prices on this web site seem very attractive. Do the prices include duty or is that the catch. I cant seem to find references to duty and delivery. Bas

Hi Bernd, like your build. You should have included some more details, we like to see that. Where did you get your plan ?. I can only find a 1.2 span plan by Sarik!!. Thanking you in anticipation, many thanks Bas.

Many thanks to all of you that replied. As with most of the equipment supplied that is made in China, no instructions!!!! Bas

Cuban8, can you explain what is meant by pulse width please. The new tester has a button for 'Pulse width' the figures vary with arm position.Thanks Bas

I have just tested my new tester ' Servo consistency test' black in colour.The problem servo reacts as it should. I can only think that there is something about the construction / electronic design when used with the blue type tester proves to be incompatible. Whist on the subject the new Buwei tester has no instructions. It is supposed to do other tests!!!!. Can anybody advise me about that?. I cant do pictures. Many thanks for your replies, problem solved . Bas

They are rechargeable types, used in several different battery holders. I like you have to set the neutral point of the arm on the servo initially. Thats all its for. A new type of tester arrives today .Looks like I am the only one effected!!!!!! Bas

I wonder if you knowledgeable builders could pass comment about the situation I have encountered while setting up servos by means of a tester( The cheap blue one commonly advertised.) I have more than one.Using 4x AA cell, freshly charged. Some servos react as normal whilst others show all three LEDs on, servo arm random movement, and uncontrollable.. Swap the dry cells for an ESC and Lipo and servo reacts correctly. I have tried various brands but the phenomenon seems to occurs with a particular type supplied by a well known source, that I will not name as other than that I cant fault them. Other types from the same source act correctly . If I have experienced this surely others have. I am currently awaiting the arrival of a more expensive tester. I will do some more tests using it. Bas

Thanks for your replies. I will not pursue the matter any further. Bas

While trying to fill some time I have turned to a high wing airframe given to me by a friend thats needs a bit of work. The original part of the nose, forward of the front former is missing for the most part. From what remains I can roughly determine the nose length , but to determine the motor shaft centre I feel may not be entirely accurate. I am trying to work out where the engine should be mounted. I am assuming that the 'Thrust line' will determine the centre line of the motor shaft. Assuming I am correct how do I go about deciding the correct thrust line(where to mount the engine.)?. I am using an electric motor.The basic design I would suggest is of a trainer type, looks to be of stable proportions. Have I bitten off more than I can chew?. Bas

Instead of ply I would suggest that you cost out OSB as a lining , It takes most fixings, cheaper than ply. comes in various thicknes ses .It's versatile.Bas

David, thanks for your comments re Uno Wot.I am strictly electric, being a late comer to this hobby, but I must admit that its very tempting , the sound of an IC etc . Regards Bas

David, thanks for your prompt reply. The construction seems to have progressed. The wings are venered foam now, requiring a 'Seating' angle to be adjusted according to the required dihedral. David I appear to have run off half cocked.The 4 channell version has a 1/2 - 1 1/2 " dihedral, that's more in line with what I had in mind, especially as its specified by Mr Foss. It was that I did not want to use a flat wing. So.... my apologise to everyone for my big ' Not reading the notes correctly' moment !!!!! hope possible replies read this note. John , I would agree the designer new what he was doing, I did not read it as I should have, thanks. Bas
