hello hope you can help my friend Geoff noble has been trying to log on but it keeps saying password not recognised and asks for his email address but when put in it does not send an email with the new password to his email address hope you can help

Hi Ton well I am looking forward to start building the Buccaneer , its been really hard with the A10 no measurement's no drawings but getting there , I will keep in touch when I start building. Mick

Hi Dylan 1/4 scale mosquito i think we could get Geoff hooked on one, its on my list of must build planes

Mick Simms Hi to all well work bench as arrived so Geoff and I will start the build on Saturday after lots of head scratching and planning finally on our way .

Hi Phil hope things went well with the A10, I have just collected parts to start building my A10 1/4 scale from Falcon aviation it will have 2 jet turbines wing span is 14 ft I will do a build blog, the first thing is a new work shop old one coming down sunday.Ihope you don't mind if I ask for advice with a few things thanks Mick

HI new workshop about a month away and the frame work for the A10 should be with me 6 to 8 weeks,we finalised the size to 1/4 scale this will give it a wingspan of 14+ft= 172.5" .The build is no problem the mouldings will take a bit of time they have to be spot on eventually these items will be available from falcon aviation to any one mad enough to build some thing this size. Will be back later with some photos, have now joined the large model association and will be sorting out getting it registerd . Edited By Mick Simms on 08/03/2013 06:05:49

The big project for the next few years is the Fairchild A10, it has took 2 years up to now just to decide what plane it would be and what size. Falcon aviation are just the people for the job, sorting the enlargement and cutting of the wood. The new workshop will shortly be built to accommodate the 1/4 scale A10 build and i will be doing a blog on this site.

Has anyone put a working scale exhaust on a large scale war bird

                            Servo lead length for aileron is 760mm and 600mm for flaps,the interference starts soon as plane is switched on then settles down until ailerons are operated and sets it of again, first thing AM of to get some ferrite rings must solve problem before sat ' flying day ?

       Hi to all and a happy new year.       Well i am starting to think down the lines of  my JR RS77S synthesized receivers  not being good enough ,i have tried both RS77S receivers still the same,chatter and noise what would you recommend as a good receiver and servos to go with my JR X2720,budget now very low as the RS77S don't come cheap, and thanks again for the help and advice    MICK.

 Hi to all  .Well hopefully we should start to narrow it down ,the servos are standard JR and Rx is a synthesized RS77S  ,the wire length is as short as poss and have tried all swap overs of servos, i have 4 new  JR servos for my near complete Ta 152-H1 i will try them next.  Be back soon     MICK

Hi Eric thanks for the reply ,battery OK plus slight error on my part only two servos per wing ,one of the lads at the field sugested rapping servo cable round ferrite rings ?

Good morning Simon thanks for the input ,I have tryed all the above exsept the last sugestion to separaet all wires  .Thanks  Mick

I have a sessna 182 -50 CMPro  with a twitching in the ailerons,my radio gear is JR X2720  its only the wing that is the problem ,wing lay out is 3 servos per side one aileron  two flaps ,servos are noisy and aileron servos twitch like crazy can any one help with this problem Thanks   Mick Happy new year to all

one hip done one to go

one off two hips replaced could do with a moral booster maybe this time

Having double hip replacement very soon .to win would be a nice boost

this time

How about it this time

Another month fly;s by maybe it will land on me this time

Hi  Gemma i am a pattern and mould maker in GRP have been doing it far to long , I have the know how and can supply small amounts of gel resin and matt plus ancillaries to make a few plane moulds,would this be of any help at all

one day i hope SOON

I am about 2/3 in to the build and its time for some serious saving for the last stage ,retracts ,engine,servos flight pack ext .its my first plane from plans ,the build is slow and steady .The TA152 is a1/6 scale wingspan 94" fuse large length 72" Engine size 1.08 2-stroke .If any one out there has built  this plane from D Andersen plan i would like to here from you thanks  Mick
