I think Nigel wasnt keen on another set of EPO tyres, the Kavans are light can take a bearing if wanted. Plus the other options appear out of stock.

Watch out for the Dubro inflatables very heavy 6" wheel 321g hence I opted for the Kavan 6"/ 150mm at 105g!. I do also use the Dubro low bounce non inflatables

I use them, AR637T for example and other gyro models can be mounted in many ways as suggested but always along the fuselage, upside down, on its edge forward or backward facing. Google the manual for your chosen RX. As mentioned its is set up via forward programming on the TX. Do you need the gyro?

Im using Kavan inflatables either balloon smooth items or threaded, came with various axle hubs and will accept a bearing, usual sizes,https://modelemax.pl/en/pumped/8771-inflated-wheel-100-mm-kavan-balloon-0180-2-pieces .

Strange, topic title "About to dump Spektrum" " I’m searching to just dump Spektrum altogether. I WAS looking at buying the ix14 or 20, but don’t want the same issue with an expensive transmitter". Who wrote the above then!!!

Am I right in thinking a newbie bought old gear, crashes twice ? then joins the "Spektrum Haters Gang" Personally havent seen any more untimed landings with Spektrum users than Futaba, mine have been my fault and one mech failure. More newbies seem to use Spektrum so reported newbie incidents may be used to distort the figures. On a positive note welcome to the gang of midlife plus men who lurk around in fields together playing toy planes and drinking tea with that flask taste. If not already done register the TX and RX online with Spektrum and check for updates. As suggested Logic RC at Hertford are pretty helpful.

Wanted Eflite Draco 2.0m model box if someone has one taking up space - Moving. Thanks

Nicad works. Also, perhaps not recommended but I assumed one i thought was lost but had left in a project was a gonna got a turbo boost straight main connector to main connector for about two mins. then went through a couple of full charge, discharge cycles then a slow balance charge, still working today.

Clear Sanitary silicon from Screwfix/Toolstation/Wickes. De-grease the contact surfaces first.

Doing a little thinning and resisted the temptation to visit the boxes of hidden essentials in the loft this winter! Never had any luck here selling. The van option is probably the best but going a little further east than France after my vote for New Aquitaine was rejected 1-1 in a fair vote apparently. Perhaps a look at wooden cases may be in order.

Looks like a silly question even to me. Moving long distance and taking the babies with me. Some will dismantle for regular boxes and some wont which is the concern. I could get a van and do that bit myself but not keen and a van for 20 kg of foam etc! Anyone aware of suitable packaging. Plus looking for a Eflite Draco original box if there one going within reasonable striking distance of the M11

A tip I was given with foamies and others that require the servo to be glued in is to wrap the servo in heat shrink tube, shrink it of course and glue that in. should it need to come out again cut the tube peel out the shrink and Bobs your trans auntie.

I bought some exhaust gasket paper online a while back. possibly from Westons.

4x electric and a sound system? and a huge van or truck to transport it.

Local recycling centre accepts them here.

My experience is "mate" also wants your for sale item. Guessing some bouncing payment scheme or "I didnt receive the item" scam. Facebook scam is someone who clearly has no RC knowledge wants your item and is sending a Uber with a sealed envelope with cash.

True on the sockets, very nice cave.

Only a observation, perhaps a few more double sockets!

This is true, now leaves the machine at about 80c

Perhaps it never flew as it just went around in circles on the ground. The ic models could have interesting set ups as well.
