I believe the wing tip beyond the aileron is more about preventing flutter.

I had heard, in the early days, of brushless motors that you could power more than one from a single ESC so I tried two micro brushless motors in parallel on one ESC and found that everything got really hot so I concluded this wasn't the way to go. It must be to do with the motors not running perfectly in phase with each other and confusing the ESC.

I was recommended to use carburettor cleaning fluid as it works on aluminium as well as other metals.

That looks exactly like the pump out of Ripmax power panel which is rated at 12V.

I recently borrowed one of these... https://www.creworksequipment.com/products/creworks-ultrasonic-cleaner-with-heater-timer-60w-2l-stainless-steel-jewelry-cleaner-for-professional-tool-watch-glasses-retainer-denture-parts-cleaning-5-9x5-3x4-tank-sonic-cavitation-machine It works really well at removing baked on glow fuel residue, although I'm not sure where you'd buy one in the UK as they don't seem to have a website.

The danger isn't in flammability, it's about toxicity.

I heard that applying fuel-proofer with a small foam roller gives better results than brushing and is safer than spraying it. I shall try this next time I need to use Aerokote or similar.

Will this HobbyWing stabiliser work with a 2 aileron servo wing on separate channels, it only seems to have one aileron output?

I messaged Steve to see if he did a cowl for a Suprafly 60 and he immediately put it on his website. I ordered one and it arrived this morning. I have to say, it's flawless with no seems to sand out. Like in Ron's post above, if you don't see what you want, just ask and it appears like magic.

It's definitely the website, it comes and goes at random. I'm convinced that there's something at the server end that occasionally hogs the bandwidth which strangles usage for those on a lower priority.

This a torque-rod style undercarriage it gives fore and aft spring which is much kinder than a stiff profile undercarriage. The rods are bent at right angles up into the fuselage sides between ply doublers and secured with a couple of clamps.

As far as I know, Giant Shark eventually turned into rclife.co.uk with a much reduced variety of items and concentrating on the main components of electric flight.

If you were to buy some Clearcoat, you can insist on having an MSDS which should give you a good idea of the ingredients.

I made a starter with limited torque for small diesels which were difficult to get going. I used a 540 brushed buggy motor with a toothed belt reduction drive and a 6 cell nicad. I made a cone out of a billet of aluminium with a small piece of silicone tube wedged in the end and secured to the motor with a prop driver. The whole assembly was mounted on a piece of plywood with a conveniently placed microswitch. I always backed off the compression before applying the starter as an added safety precaution, then as the prop was spinning the compression was tightened and my PAW .55 always burst into life, QED.

Eneloops were sold on the promise that they were made specially lo- discharge and they were fully charged off the shelf, so you could use them immediately.
