20/20 almost slipped up on 20 till I looked at the undercarriage.

A budget of £200 - £300 could be a clue.

Good value, you can't get much for a pound these days, not even at the pound shops

You know I can't resist a 110.

Keep going Matty, it will take time, sometimes it is easier to give up but you will make it eventually. A friend of mine had a bad accident many years ago, was told he wouldn't walk again, he was a very fit man like you and went on to live an almost normal life, due to his determination. Best wishes to you

My original Flair Se5 lasted for years, the kit cost £45 when they first come out, it went the same way as yours

I still have it on mine Nigel, but now I am used to it I live with it, the one thing to avoid it doing a low pass then putting on full power. It also balloons when shutting the throttle. I did add some more weight at the front but it remained the same, I did get a little side wind jitter but on that day the wind changed direction a few times. Due to a faulty aileron servo I had to do a repair to the wing and fuselage front, I have a new cowl on order from Richard, when it arrives I will add some more weight and see what happens.

Flair kit? I have one waiting for a change of motor, flew it originally electric but cracked the wooden prop on a touch and go it snapped and pulled the motor out, that was 3 years ago. I have a FS to go in but keep putting it off. One day?

All charged up and ready for another day at the field, this will be 5 consecutive days flying mostly on my own. Last week I had an aileron servo fail on my Warbirds Replicas Tempest 5 minutes into flight, broke off the front end and broke the wing, repaired it has had 24 flights this week. Some of the models I have flown so far. Before and after with the Tempest, the one I have flown the most is my Acrowot, (no picture) as it is ic so not depending on batteries.

The Germans had those in the 1950's

She probably thought you were winding her up!

Must be something different as mine has never been jittery.

That's how mine has been from day one, I thought I had made the back end too heavy as I had to add a lot of lead, but everyone commented on how well it flew, as if on rails.

Nice morning in the North East, flew my Acrowot, got home before the rain. This evening flew a Dynam Catalina, lovely sky no wind, took off the grass with a push.

As far as I am aware all bungs are OK for glow, but petrol will destroy a glow bung. As it will with silicone tubing.

Let's hope 7 Drunken Nights" The Dubliners" doesn't become 7 Drunken flights.

Anyone called Dave Clark? We would be Glad all over as long as it didn't end in Bits and pieces .

I'm going so now you have the Fab 4 with Help from Richard and some Norwegian Wood!

That's b flat

Plenty of stirrers on this thread!

I think it's midsummer madness GG, similarly at our club. I think a lot of the fair weather flyers are a bit rusty. Two Wot 4s piled in, one glider damaged through disorientation, my Lancaster didn't take off due to the retract on one side collapsing. It had the plastic trunnion, both units replaced last night with metal trunnions. In all I had a good day with the Tempest and Acrowot plus doing a maiden for another member with a Trojan. Murphy's law in action perfect day yesterday, breezy today in the wrong direction for the Lancaster.

I'm not😃

The wooden blocks on mine have the grain vertical, I take your point on the screw and washer, I had thought of fitting a washer but it would mean a thicker piece of ply to bring it up to the level of the motor mount. As Ron pointed out too much reinforcement will cause more damage elsewhere, which may not be as easy to repair.
