Many thanks for all of your replies. My Lipo decided to voluntarily retire this morning. Due to a catastrophic encounter with Terra Firma it is severely damaged and no longer usable, but as usual everytime you post there is always something new to be learned from your answers. Cheers, Terry.

3S Lipo, 1800mah,35C. Interal resistance of 10.7 3.9 and 5.3 milli ohms. No damage or swelling. Is it time to bin it? Thanks, Terry.

Thanks Simon. I am a beginner but successfully doing controlled circuits and landings with an Easy Star. Self taught and a lot of simulator time. Model clubs, in Austria, too expensive for my pension. Maybe I will try to create something, I have everything that I need, and it will be a winter project. Cheers, Terry.

Interesting idea. In my working life I designed and built automated assembly machines, but creating an aircraft that actually flies??? 🤣

I realise that this is a very open ended question, but a little advise would be welcome. I have lying around a !0A 2-3s ESC, a 28mm Dia. 2300kv motor, and a 6 x 3 inch folding pusher prop. I would like to put them to use, but really have no idea which aircraft size to go for. Ideally something relatively simple that can take a few knocks and can tolerate light winds. I would prefer to build from plan as opposed to buying a kit. Any help would be most appreciated. Cheers, Terry.

From a local (Austrian) Buy/sell website. Has anyone ever seen one of these built and running? Cheers, Terry. https://www.willhaben.at/iad/kaufen-und-verkaufen/d/quarter-scale-merlin-v12-gussteile-bausatz-758726641

Alles Klar! Thanks for all replies. Terry.

Does a 3 blade prop produce more thrust than a 2 blade ? Same Dia. same pitch, same R.P.M.

Insist they put you to sleep!!

Thanks for the helpful replies !

I seem to remember reading that dings in Elapor can be restored to original shape using hot water, but how hot, boiling ? Cheers, Terry.

I know this subject has been well aired on many forums, probably world wide. But I still have a question. I use one of these to store and charge my LiPo's, I don't know if they are available in the UK. My question is, does anybody have experience of this product actually containing and surviving a LiPo fire? Thanks Terry.

Thanks Phil. New receiver it is then, better safe than sorry. Yachts are fun, I have three that I have built . Cheers, Terry

Thanks Phil will go through that test procedure. It's a bit of a worry though, can it unbind while the aircraft is in the air?

FlySky FS-I6x. My Tx is no longer bound to Rx in one model. Other models stored in memory are OK. What could cause this? Terry
