Should read; an old flying mate had an original Svenson kit, about 1975. Enya 45 two stroke. Always nice flying. This ones electric. -

Hey Murat. Sorry to butt in. Did you fly your electric Svenson Islander ???? Albert -
Correct. Alpha exhaust from my 80 alpha. Leaned out until rpm drop, then back two clicks. Breather connected to carb intake. Aahhh.... More oil in the cylinder ??
-
And yes Jon, it's second hand and it smokes more at high power
-
It's not a surpass. The oil content is 15% synthetic. 2% castor. And my other engines use this without clouds of smoke.
-
Running late surpass O.S. 70 four stroker. Southern model craft 5% synthetic, 2 % castor. Doesn't matter how lean I tune it, smoky as anything. Knackered??. Compression is still good.

Right.so my annual subscription says family version, Office 365. Word, Excel etc. Do I need to keep paying this ?? Albert
-
So I have windows 10 on a HP laptop, and pay a Windows annual subscription. Will that have inbuilt anti virus ??. Trying to ditch Kaspersky: up to £40 now. Albert

Covering undercambered wings. Dennis Bryant SE5a.
Albert Ace replied to Albert Ace's topic in Scale Matters
Sorry, that's Undercambered wings. -
Before I start this next build, how can I cover the Scale section undercambered wings. ? I'm a fan of food and nylon; not I was going to try Diacov heat attached covering for this one. But, unsure of the wings ?? All help appreciated. Albert
-
Thanks boys. Found it, silly me.😁
-
Bought a couple of rolls for the next model. Never used this before. There didn't appear to be a backing film on this. Looked on their website, no info on how to use it at all. Temperature of iron or any thing. Not used film much before. Any help please ? F Albert

LMA Cosford in 2024 ??
Albert Ace replied to Albert Ace's topic in Shows, Club Events and Competitions
You know my happiest time at shows.??.1970/80s Sandown and Plumpton with good old Dave Bishop....... -
I take it that as the LMA are advertising Sleap for next July, Cosford is a no go again ??. Anybody know why ?? Loved Gosford weekend........ Albert
-
Thanks Kevin, I don't know how it flew (deceased club mate). Maybe a 64mm can would be enough. Never flown edf before.
-
That's much like I did on mine. 1/16th ply rad shutters over litho plate front. I cut holes under the shutters to aid cooling. Albert
-
If I was told; 'you have one more build left before the grim deal's it would be the Flair SE5a. My own ( number two ) is still flying. . I have one kit left.
-
Thanks Simon. I was thinking of 6mm Depron replacing 3/32 inch ribs. 62 inch scale twin. Fully sheeted wing. ??
-
Guys Not into foam for building. Still balsa/ply. But can see the cost advantage of say, using foam for ribs. Anybody else done/doing this. And what type of foam would work best. Regards Albert

Thank you, never had much luck downloading from here, even though I have an account. Any clues ????
