Hi there Capt Some years ago I had the same problem and found that there wasn't an absolutely standard font in use when the Chipmunk served as a trainer. For the Chipmunk used by the Fleet Air Arm Museum flight at Yeovilton, to convert pilots to tail draggers, a font called RAF_PW_ATH was a reasonable match. I used TurboCAD which was able to scale the font to any size. Hope this helps Steve

This is really a can of worms! The problem is made worse by the way the earth orbits the sun, elliptically! Even noon isn't always when the sun is highest in the sky, in fact it only happens a couple of days a year. If you have a day or two to spend try googling "equation of time"

Hi everyone, Having a few eye problems I have discussed the problem of the best sunglasses for model flying with my optician. Here is his opinion. We have two main problems, seeing models against the glare and the damage UV does to our eyes. Having tried several types we found the best compromise to be yellow filters which limit UV as used by skiers/mountaineers. Unfortunately these days I need very dark lenses to prevent more UV damage adding to my cataracts, which should ensure that light cannot sneek in from the side. Apparently UV levels can be high even under cloud. I hope this helps1 Steve

I have had a similar problem. It was caused by the output chip in the receiver being unable to send pulses of sufficient voltage to the servos when 2 were in parallel. Reading your thread I don't think you have tried driving the servos through the y lead but one at a time, sorry if you had. Steve

Plenty to go at this month! Topping All-Write is a letter from Owe Carlson re a vintage model the "Radio Rock", Could this be the same as the "Radio Rook" by modelling pioneer Col. C.E.Bowdon? This was published in Practical Mechanics September 1956. all I need now is a vintage diesel!!! Tbone
