I know I don't post very often, but my recent excellent experience with Logic RC deserves a mention. My DX9 was broken (left stick/gimbal) when my model fell on it (don't ask how I managed to let this happen). I posted my transmitter to them a week ago, I received it back today fully repaired, total cost £25 including the FedEx shipping back to me. I was concerned about letting my precious transmitter out of my sight, possibly never to be seen again, but my fears were unfounded. I have no connection whatsoever with this business apart from being a satisfied customer.

They stopped trading several years ago, you will see second hand kits for sale from time to time, they command high prices. There are some companies on eBay offering parts, ribs and cowls etc.but not much else that know of.

I also suffer from CA sensitivity, the merest whiff gives me a bunged up nose, I can however tolerate the foam safe type, might not work for everyone but worth a try.

Thanks Barry, that's pretty well what I did. I did however put card spacers between the wing and the control surface to ensure there was clearance to allow free movement. I think I've just got a bit too much clearance and its an easy fix.

Yes I also tried to find Sellotape Diamond, the closest I could find was Sellotape Super Clear, I have hinged one aileron but I'm not happy with it, the hinge line looks so obvious in clear tape. I will try again when I get a chance and try to get a smaller gap.

That looks very neat Brian. I had a very similar experience with my kit except I didn't use much cyano. I also wished I had drilled the bulkhead before I fitted it, and used a bit less pressure when fitting my wing sheeting so I didn't crush the ribs. Mine is also almost finished (needs aileron hinging and pushrod installation) but work is currently suspended due to some family issues. I'll post a picture when things settle down at home.

There is some, not very helpful information Here. It seems some wheels might be available in the US in February, not clear to we which year though and no indication when they might be more generally available.

There is this comment on another thread by David Ashby, dated end November: "I've had a message to the effect that Colin of BB is just undergoing rehab after surgery and, hopefully, should be back at the helm in a couple of weeks. Like lots of Hobby traders, he's the owner/manager which is why things have been a little quiet of late." Sorry I don't know how to post a link.

Hi Brian, I'm building this at the moment, it's almost complete and I hope to be covering it soon. I'm enjoying this build, it's straightforward, but, I have found the instructions are a bit confusing in some places. If you have any problems, and you post on here, I'm sure the expert forum members will be happy to help. I am but a mere novice compared to others here, I've only been building and flying for a decade or so but, I will be happy to help where I can based on my experiences with this model.

Thanks, this is one of the most informative threads I have read for some time, I'll try glassing again at some point now I have some idea what I'm doing!

I had one from Steve Webb's, they recommended fully synthetic when I bought it, the manual Here says castor or synthetic. I hope it helps.

Ive just been to look at the model to find the prop size but, it seems to have no markings whatsoever. It came from hobbyking. It is however nine inch diameter (just measured) but I can't remember the pitch. Sorry this isnt as much help as it could be.

I don’t know how much this helps but, I have a DB Sport and Scale 48 inch tiger moth, it flies very nicely on 300w using a 35mm diaTurnigy motor and 3s lipo. Performance is probably best described as scale like but, it was never designed for lots of power (I am already concerned about the security of the top wing). Mine is a little smaller than yours, but this was the biggest motor I could fit in the cowl and there is only just enough space for a 3s battery in the fuselage. At the time of building I had a 60 amp ESC and tried to use it because I'm a skinflint and didn't want to buy another, however I couldn’t squeeze all the wires in the cowl. I replaced it with a smaller (40 amp, from HobbyKing) which I fitted in the cowl attached to the firewall. It will easily take off on ½ throttle, even with this (by modern standards) feeble power unit. (sorry about the bold type) Edited By edgar on 11/09/2020 15:30:47

Galaxy Domino gradually taking shape. Not the easiest model have ever built because the instructions omit some key steps and the build sequence seems a bit odd sometimes, but it is keeping me busy and it's different to anything else I have. Laser 70 for the bit at the front
