I have vinyl floor tiles laid on concrete and electric heaters in my workshop. Main building table is an old dining table I got for nothing and I have a tatty old office chair for sitting on when my arthritis starts to play up

An ‘affected’ upward tonal inflexion at the end of a sentence designed to try to keep you hanging on to whatever some absolutely boring nitwit is saying....aaaargh!

Flair ATS Kite MK4

Try **LINK** for the wing bandage. Note that One hour epoxy also gives you plenty of ‘working time’ to spread the epoxy carefully into the bandage. Once the wings havebeen epoxied together to apply the bandage The method I use is to apply two pieces of masking tape to the wings top& bottom that are slight wider apart than the width of the bandage, then apply a thin layer of epoxy to the wing surfaces between the masking tape. You then carefully apply the bandage using the credit card to squeegee the epoxy into the weave. Once done all over you can apply a little more epoxy and squeegee again. Leave it yo dry overnight then remove the masking tape leaving you with neat edges! You can thin mixed epoxy with methylated spirits but only use a micro amount for that. Hopefully this helps -

Posted by Colin Carpenter on 08/08/2020 18:22:55: Sebart. If it flies as well as all his other designs then it will be superb ! The Shark with slats will hover , motor off , in a12 mph wind ! Colin Colin is correct - the Sebart range fly wonderfully as pattern aerobats and/or 3D models. They have no vices and are light/strong. Set them up with minimum throws and a less experienced pilot can fly them well - usually land slowly too if set up correctly. Out of the entire range the Wind S 50 would be my recommended favourite .

Posted by Andy Stephenson on 28/07/2020 17:31:20: What is necessary to get R/C pilot registration with the aviation authorities in Greece as a visitor. If you were planning to fly there I'm guessing you would have to go through a process similar to the CAA one here in the UK. A. Andy - as a paying guest at the RC HOTEL you don’t require registration. Just fly and enjoy. If you’re not capable of flying solo safely, excellent tuition From the proprietor and other (usually BMFA endorsed) instructors is available . All new guests are asked to either confirm their Flying capability through a test flight or immediately request tuition. Jon
