  1. Thank you for the reply. The fuel is by Weston UK. Viper 10% nitro and 18.5% synth oil. Enya 3 or OS 8 plug. The silencers are original Shuttle or Raptor ones. One 50 is fitted with a Zimmerman. Flybar
  2. For some reason I can’t seem to “edit” the ad? Does it have to be taken down somehow?
  3. Thank you for the advice. Apparently the price was given to my friends daughter from a flyer at another club.I know she just wants to get rid of all his stuff and there’s a lot. She was a bit reluctant at first re posting kits due size etc. I’ll edit the post and see what happens. Thank again Flybar.
  4. A Happy New Year to all. Before I start the new year flying season I wonder if any other Heli flyers had overheating problems last year in some of the hot days. The Helis affected were from Raptor 30's up to 60's Hirobo Shuttles with 32/37 engines. All the engines were OS and all running the same 10% nitro fuel. Even trying to open up the mixture seemed not to alleviate the problem. I'll not name the fuel just yet as I have not spoken to the manufacture for advice. Evening flying all seemed OK so definitely air temp causing the problem. Any advice welcomed apart from the obvious "fly at night" FlyBar
  5. As per other advert,(Piper Cub PA 18) this model kit comes from a modelling friend who has recently passed away. Complete Flair kit, instructions and plan. Baronette Triplane, Wing Span 49" Engine 35/50 4stroke or could be easily converted for electric flight. I'll try and answer any queries but I'm a RC helicopter flier not aeroplanes. £125. Collection, Torfaen, Cwmbran. S Wales FlyBar
  6. A modelling friend has recently passed away and I've been asked to try and pass on some of his kits and planes. First up is an apparently rare Piper Cub PA 18, Prazise Modelbau Metal Frame kit. The model is 90% built with wings, tail and elevators covered. Servos have been fitted into the wings. There is enough spare covering material to finish the project. Wing span 100" and can be fitted with >15cc engine. £200 or open to offers. I'm not an aeroplane flyer or modeller (fly helicopters) but will try and find answers to any queries.

  7. Is the shim fitted between the clutch and the top of the fan? If it’s not there the clutch may try and open and engage but be unable to close on spin down. Just a thought.
  8. The film by leccyflyer looks interesting. Our field is very close to the River Severn , you’d need a quick take off though, or the helicopter would be down Cardiff Bay in blink.
  9. I have 5 Thunder Tiger Raptors. Two are 30’s and three are 50’s. Must be a sucker for punishment. Not a member of the 3D brigade of flying, how they manage some of these moves astonishes me. General flying around trying to keep away from Mother Earths gravity, though a nice loop is OK every now and then.
  10. Hi all, Ive been flying mainly helicopters for the last ten years with occasional dabble with electric motor gliders and a Wot4 electric. Unfortunately our flying field has been been put in a rotation of crops system so we now have no permanent strip. Good job heli’s only need a bit of flat to takeoff and land.
