[ARTF Experiences]

I Was flying with a freind he had his lovely new seagull eletric spacewalker we did 2 curcits when one wing departed floating down the plane was a bin bag job on inspection we found the route rib was still bolted to the fus but all it had was a small blob of so called glue on it .

To say this was very poor is an understatement we also found there was bearly any glue on the damaged spar this areas are all covered so are not visable he has taken the remains into a local model shop and they have said its structual failure lack of glue on most parts of the model you can only wonder wot would have happened if it had hit someone .is there no checks done on these kits.

[Retractable undercarriage?]

 sorry using  the Y lead and another battery to power the retracts the leads going to the recivier you cut the red wire but I have been told to cut the black so it leaves the white wire just for the signal.

[Retractable undercarriage?]

I Have been told yes cut the red wire but you must cut the black as well so you only have the white as the signal is this right.

[I.c convertion]

I Was thinking of converting the hanger 9 thunderbolt to Electric
there was an artical in qfi magazine in feb2006 where they used
a 6cell 10C pack with the improvments in cells is this still needed
or can I use a 4-5cell lipoy say 4000mamp or has any one got a better
solution.
