Having flown an Acrowot with an ASP 52 it was pretty gutless in anything more than a light wind, Stick an OS 55Ax or similar and we're now talking useable power and grunt that can be flown in all weather conditions just keep it light and with some mixes for the Rudder /Aileron, Elevator added its an OK plane that fly's well.

Just not good practise to leave your fuel tubing on the floor or on grass. get yourself a screw on metal cap with fittings so the bottle remains sealed from dirt.

I use an Omtec 100 watt, On CO2 machines you must remember the light runs most of its path horizontal before transferring to vertical so think before you put your hand or arm etc anywhere inside the case , one pulse on this hurts hell of a lot more than 20 watts and will do permanent nerve damage.

ive got it at home, many thanks, works well.🤣

And that it why you have security, you just answered it yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! a number of individuals all of whom seem unrelated but they all are. All carrying innocent parts .I'm guessing you don't know much about aircraft carrying AOG spares and the paper work that is required. There's a reason why specialised equipment is carried in the Flight deck rather than the Passenger cabin although at times the crash axe is quite handy for cutting up pizza if I have forgotten my knife.🤣

Very wrong actually . How do they know that another person (your companion with a different name, different seats, booked at different times)wasn't taking a battery onboard for another supposed use. Yet the two together becomes a harmful weapon, Your only seeing what you want to see and not what they see as a security issue, Hardly a jobsworth .,

Epoxy will not wick into the joint as the gap will only be 10 maybe 20 thou but it can be repaired, if you call message me I can do it for you or send you the Kevlar I use to repair it FOC. My son Jack tests my repairs for me and they seem to hold up. Send me a PM and give me your address and ill have the required materials out first close post.

Sorry Don I work with Composites and Carbon Copy quality is terrible , the parts are heavy, lack strength and have a join line that I personally would be ashamed of if it left my workshop.

Double check the softer side to check that there is no delamination, I've seen this many times and have had the same problems with the Pilot Rc gear caused by delamination , if this is the case it can be repaired, you need to flex the U/C and view from the side, if its badly delaminated you will also feel it, It can be repaired quite easily if this is the case, ( Its standard pilot RC quality control that's bits fall off and fail and I sell the gear and use it myself.) If it is delaminated I can repair it for you for the cost of postage, Replacement wise there is not a lot of choice , Do not touch Carbon Copy as its worse than Pilot Gear. if no luck finding a fault, message me and Ill give you my phone number.

You mentioned flight modes. (OH MY GOD), next you might bring in grouping flight modes and Expo and dual rates, and condition switches. Can you imagine have a flight mode just before take off you use that will give you a slightly higher idle during flight for 3D gyroscopic manoeuvres but before landing you need to set it to the lower idle.😆 FLIGHT MODES = another 4 pages

Its not my fault your wife has a Fiat 500 or or you that proud you need to tell someone . Also My apologies that you didn't know about Expo on airliners for info Switching is done on TAS.

Boeing and Airbus use Expo and have done so for many years as there unpleasant to fly with out it. more noticeable on the 737 than 319/320. and is very noticeable on the Max compared to an 800.

Should add, as their all in wheel chairs the castor helps as a medicine and wheel lubricant

20% castor and 30% nitro should get all the old moaners going 😆 or weston fuel.

They pinch in the line in an uneven manor leaving one side not secure.

They might work for you but they do not tighten correctly causing more more problems, so not quite fit and forget.

if its cut well and is very light brown then that's fine, ifs its cut by someone blasting through then a light sand, if its cut very well then cyno is best I found.

If your using Oratex then the hotmelt works by far the best, too damn well at times, if its film the balsaloc works well.

When you can do rolling loops and rolling circles with a junior 60 let me know and ill change to another model, admitting that you need good power to do this especially inverted circuits but they can be done, so far other than a Quaker Flash nothing comes close to what you can do with elevator, rudder and throttle on a junior 60. next thing for power is a YS. nothing light about my model as I bought this one second hand and removed a lot of lead as well.

Those Two videos have already found to be fake and disproven by the authorities.

remove the idle screw is a must.

The only other trouble with moving the horn inwards is that it creates an offset which you now really need to be using a cranked servo arm to keep the wires under tension once the servo has moved from it centre position, in normal forward flight it's not so much an issue but if you do tumbling manoeuvres and high alpha and especially prop hanging I would be surprised that you dont get blow back, Which is why these days on these models they mostly gone back to direct linkage, you can check this by moving the servo to your desired position and the other side of the closed loop should remain taught, but with an offset I doubt it will be.

There's only one way to sort this out and it means bringing in Jeremy Clarkson, A man who says it as it is. and towing the defendant behind a car naked at Buckminster whilst throwing cheap nasty Hobbyking servos at him,

More power the better. OS 52 four stroke in my Junior 60 and it could do with more power flying inverted.

I remember many years ago having completed my engineering apprenticeship at Aviation Jersey and standing alongside a RR Merlin I had worked on after a rebuild as it started up on the test stand for the first time. The earth literally shook. (I was given a piston from the rebuild.) At the time I did not really appreciate it as it was used at my Dads engineering company building race engines and was used as an ash tray which was quite normal back then.
