Thanks Ill give that a try

Hi all, just wondering if there were any conversion leads which would say convert a Futaba servo lead plug to a Spektrum type plug. Or is it a case of remaking the lead with the appropriate plug to suit the receiver. TIA

Thanks for the link Jon Neil

Thanks so much I had a feeling that 6x? Would be about right. best regards Neil

I have just acquired an ED Baby 0.5 cc Diesel engine to replace the one I lost nearly 60 yrs ago. I can’t recall the prop sizes for this engine, can any one please help. thanks in advance Neil

Yep Im gonna give tank making a go, the article makes it seem so simple

Thanks for the swift replies. I will give Dens models a go. But I think having had a look at the article on soldering I might give that a go as well. thanks again Neil

Does anyone know of a manufacturer of small metal fuel tanks around 10-20cc similar to the old KK team race tanks. My soldering skills are appalling so I need to buy one.

Thanks Nige I will give that a go Neil

Way back in 1966 Aeromodeler magazine gave away a plan for a free flighter called POPS. the Model aircraft plan service number was PET 918. When the plan came out i managed to build it in an evening or two from my stock balsa. I mounted an ED Baby 0.5 cc engine in it and set off to our local disused airfield (Thurdistoft) near Castletown in Caithness. I should have known things were not going to turn out well when the engine started after one or two flicks. Long story short the aircraft took off like a goodun climbing steadily climbing and travelling downwind quite quickly with me in hot pursuit. She was last seen entering cloud at about 1500ft heading to Orkney. I had over fuelled the tank. So now that I have grandchildren i am looking to rebuild the POPS and teach them some proper balsa bashing. I also intend to install some radio control if someone out there has a plan i could purchase or copy. Best Regards Neil

Did you ever get a plan

Does anyone else find the ever changing sidebar adverts/links annoying

I am trying to track down a plan for an aircraft which my father built and flew in the 1950,s.  It was a high wing cabin monoplane.  I am fairly sure it was called the "Club Conquest" Any information would be greatly appreciated. Neil Mclean
