Thanks guys, more or less central, both as difficult to get to, rubbish public in the "stock broker belt" , nice bit of countryside thou.....

Good morning gents ( and ladies ) May I ask please, are there any model shops in the Guildford/horsham area please ? I know of Sussex model centre which is relatively close but are there any others please ? Thanks in advance...

Yacht broke moorings in a gale. Was boarded by a very brave person, alone, found flares, set one off which bounced around rigging and landed in cockpit to only bounce once more inside cabin causing fire. Yacht seen beached following mornings burnt out right down to waterline. Chap escaped inferno. RIP John. A very brave and respected man. Be very carefull out there chaps.

Hi stu, see message just sent..... Thanks you so much, a lovely set of engines,very nice indeed, thank you. They will all be treasured ..... The chaps name, would that be the one mentioned ? As always, some stuck, some needing a part, all viable hopefully. Cox may be a 10, not measured yet...... Very happy and appreciative. As always, just about to step into bath yesterday, wife took delivery..... 😁 ...

Croeso, welcome, from a gog in the north of the country. Any hill in Wales facing nw, w or sw will be a potential sloping site . Gosh, it's finally stopped raining here.....

Top rc spitfire, mark one or mark two version may I ask ?

May I ask please, what oil did you use and are they still free turning, other than compression of course ?

Stepper motors and gearbox controlling wire cutter on wheels travelling over two "cams" like set up ? A wonder how white foam gets on with a laser ?

Nice... Maybe the odd well placed balsa or thin ply etc. Rib for support/stiffening, and an improved aerofoil section to sand to perhaps... I can see that method working well with undercamber too...

There is a good bmfa webinar vidio..... I cannot remember the company name but they advertise ( or did do ) in the back of printed bmfa news, foam wings made to order. Find his web address and read to find the type and density of foam they use. Wire gauge ? Wire supplier, places seem to be closing left right and centre. Power supply ? Base board ? Watch that bmfa webinar... Enjoy....

Yes, that critical 15 degrees or so.... If there are suitable slopes near you there is soaring, but wet is wet no matter which form. Enjoy...

Hi stu, see email just sent.....thanks

Bugs ear, different..... You going to make this model ? You going with sliding aileron "mixer" or is that going to be done via tx ? Interesting power source, Cox td, or is yours going to be electric ?

So how much do you want for it ? Or put it another way, how little will you let it go for ?? I know you are "spoken for" untill the weekend so no rush in replying. I will email from a "proper computer" tommorrow about "the other stuff"....

Hi stu, see sent pm...

Cool....

Hi stu, I take it you have now sold the engines shown as a job lot ? Is that correct please ? Over.....

Thanks stu, but...... Cox 12 Me. 16 Gold head 18 Enya 18 Comes to 64 Frog. 25 Comes to 89 That's not allowing for the Albion and the small black diesel mills ? Over.....

Hi stu, new pm sent...

Taipan gold head, see sceptreflight

Stu, would you accept £10 plus postage for the twin exhaust red head engine and the Cox as a bundle ?

May I ask, how much would you accept for the twin green exhaust ref head engine please ? I suspect it to be an ME heron or snipe ? I suspect I will be out bidded on most if not all offers... The Cox engine, what size prop is on it please and can you measure piston diameter please ?

That's the beauty of boats, your always gunna get wet. The question is, how wet, as in "a swim or not !? ".. .I take an old fishing rod to hopefully cast over the stationery model, to retrieve..... Not had a titanic yet, all unused hull "air" is foam filled..... Sail powered boats ( yachts ) are best, a bit like sloper soarers... 🤓

Unfortunately not.....but I do have a merco 61 marine glow that would suite the model quite well.....

If you fancy refurbing a large wood huntsman, pm me...
