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...

Was there an airshow at woodvale over the weekend I wonder ? Been hearing radial piston engines locally, cloud base too low for visual... Heard and saw ( didn't get outside early enough ) two biplanes following nantlle ridge, nantlle valley side, below ridge and cloudbase, heading towards Snowdon, they came back very quickly, headed thru gap towards garndolbenmain and porthmadog. This area is not the place to be flying in low cloud base in vintage aircraft, or any aircraft for that matter.... Two doors down reconed maybe ww1, camo painted....they seemed quite large but tooo far away for me to recognise... They pasted about 16 mins ago now.....

Jig a jig, b side to albatros. Remember if the jig is "out", so is everything made on it. The red Square sticker is available elsewhere. I accurately drew mine onto the flat, square ( twas oblong really ) level and warp free jig board some years ago now. The slec captive nuts are fitted underneath, so are just slightly recessed on the top. Feet glued underneath the board accommodate any protrusion of captive nuts and/or screws..... Cling film these days prevents glue/airfrane adhesion issues. I used to used greaseproof paper with plan info drawn onto it, placed on a board, but jig and cling film is much quicker and less hassle. Each to his own. Weather is gunna be nice again soon.....

Nah, twas not a t tail.... The chap that kindly showed the flight plan tracking for the osprey, no, sorry, c130, Hercules, the other day, any info on that app ? It seemed to be flying from Snowdon area, down the nantlle valley, heading more or less to RAF llandwrog that was, area, maybe onward to RAF valley ?

no, aircraft had canards........
