    Thank you chaps, very informative. Paul offered to make me up a set, but given my spitfire wing is still in really tip top condition, I might just attempt to rake the U/C forward a bit with some shims of some kind. If/when the U/C plates break, I'll see about retrofitting.

    Is there any way of "fixing" the original built up wing to help prevent nose-overs? My spitfire really has that tendency and I would love to make it a bit friendlier for taxiing and take-off!

    That's a full size A400?

    I've not been following along too closely, I didn't realise that Richard would be offering motors too. I'll try to get back up to date! In the meantime my P51-D is progressing ok, only 4 years later than most!!

    Reason I asked is that I saw this bargain, but the KV is definitely going to be a bit high: https://www.3dxr.co.uk/multirotor-c3/multirotor-motors-c35/3dxr-sunnysky-x2820-kv1100-pair-p3427 £21 for a pair of 3542 sized motors seems outstanding.

    Hey guys! Long time no speak etc... What size and kv will the mossie motors be ideally?
  7. David Hazell 1
    Incredible!

    I trust Jon's experience.
  9. David Hazell 1
    Any of those the latest version, or all the v1?

    Is this a plastic model? Looks incredible!

    Yep, I'm gonna start mine - next week. Trouble is I am running out of space to store planes. I have some crash damaged ones which if I was more hard nosed, I'd sacrifice, but I know with a little bit of TLC I can get them back to their former glory!

    I bought a P40 Canopy from planesrevived and had a good chat with the bloke who seems to be putting extraordinary efforts into creating perfect copies of the topflite kits. I am confident you'd be 100% happy with any purchase from him. Cheers Dave

    I toyed with the idea of doing the P51 from Top Gun: Maverick...
  15. David Hazell 1
    Long time no speak folks. I am thinking I should finally get into the P51 build too. Got some catch-up reading to do!!

    If this hasn't sold yet, would you accept £80 posted?
  17. David Hazell 1
    Johns wings look better though 😆

    I'm wondering whether it's worth using a primer specifically for plastics - like this one perhaps: https://amzn.eu/d/btSb6jf I did my laminate covered planes with a water based acrylic grey primer out of my airbrush and the adhesion just isn't there. Perhaps a different primer would stick like poo to a blanket giving tougher results overall?

    I'm so far sticking to the "don't start building another one until the last one is finished. I find it difficult, but I am strict with myself!

    I have a hatch under the front too. Since I've smashed the front off the nose, I'm thinking I might adapt the canopy with magnets so that I can drop the battery in whilst the model is sat on its wheels. Regarding power, I ended up buying some 4S1P lithium ion packs which are made up of molicell p45b. It had enough punch to get off the ground (eventually) and I'd easily get 8-10 minute flights.

    I crashed mine because I lost orientation and then lost my nerve. I should have stayed calm. I haven't noticed it having any bad stalling characteristics.
  22. David Hazell 1
    I agree, when I built mine it was with increasing awareness that it would be very awkward to maintain or replace. I smashed the nose off so need to rebuild, but the nacelles remained intact!

    Echoing everyone else's sentiments on here, I am also hoping you make a full recovery and are able in time to look back upon this as a fading memory. Wishing you a full recovery MattyB

    Did this maiden? Bit late to the party, but I was searching through RBC kits threads!

    https://www.unmannedtechshop.co.uk/product/gensace-imars-dual-channel-balance-charger/ these have DC and AC and are pretty good. There's a newer version which chucks out 300 AC 700 DC, but not seen it in UK stores.
