Hi Peter, Im starting to build my cap 21 again after a long lay off due to health, work and exams phew glad thats all over/ My question is how to build the wings with a accurate taper over the wing span? I went to build the wing flat to the building board then realised I wasn,t sure if this was the correct method. Thanks Paul

That sounds great Danny I will have a look at it when I stop revising as the grey matter can only manage so much even with a gallon of coffee. Cheers Paul

Hi Danny I would be interested in those links Plus Iv took on board about purchasing the plan and kit from the same company, thats a good point!!!

Thanks again! I did order the plans from the other mag as im sure they own the rights etc to BT plans now. I think some cutters offer "part kits" and I wasnt sure if the "full kits" basically had everything in them< you dont know if you dont ask lol. Belair have kits left so it looks like I will go that route! Shes a find Danny!  Cheers Paul

Hi Danny, I had a look at Bob Holmans site I should get a quote from them as I have a friend over there (US) who is itching to buy it for me as a presant!!!! I am so pleased to have read this thread as it has sorted out many headaches allready! Thanx  Paul P.S did you get the full kit?

£85 pounds for cnc parts I would imagine that is a part kit for that price im also waiting for a quote from Bel air. I could go the USA route Kit Cutters etc they look pretty good value for money for full kits $300!

Thanx Ben Iv just orderthe plan and cowl, spinner etc so i will check out unitracts now iv gone for the Brian Taylor plan!

I have really enjoyed reading all the threads I found them researching my new project a Hawker Hurricane I cannot wait to start and I am now literally going to order it now. Brian Taylor for the plan but who and how much to get in a laser cut???? more research required what do you chaps think!  All the best in the New Year Paul

Me to just bought the Futaba 2.4 6ch I was very impressed with what you got for the £130 I spent and refreshed my trainer with all the new gear!

Thanks Andy looking to sort out my Sc as I hate being beet by anything! I will have a look at the carb!  Thank Paul

Thats a bargain! I have started my motocrossing again and comparing parts prices and what you get for your money you cannot touch this Hobby/sport!

Oh yes i agree! I  have spent twenty years racing motox and we all swear blind brand X is better than brand Y and jonny D. has had loads of problems with.................! im sure you get the picture i would get another SC probs a 4 stroke! so yes defo speak as you find! Paul

Bruce , I will email you the pics as soon as i get chance!  Paul

Peter, I made the comment about SC quality due to the examples at the club! out of 5 SC's, 4 have been a problem and 1 has been perfect althings being equal they are expierenced modelers to, we came up with qaulity control as been the culprit! My SC 46 had all the club mystified and when it cut out the last time i flew i didnt get it down due to lack of expierence. So a OS it was! We checked everything numerous times but to no avail ! Paul

Hi Bruce, Yes i would like to sell it! one of the engine mounts (one hole) has broke off so its up to you? I can try and email a pick of it if you wish Thanx Paul

Hi Peter! well i have got about 3 gallons of juice used up and i am on my 3rd plane which very nearly 'bit it' on Sunday much to the amusement of the lads. the wing moved on my trainer and it just went Kamikazi i did get it down and promptly called it a day lol Dont worry about crashing our field claims at least 2 planes a wkd(iv no idea if thats good or bad)! Its part of the game at least it only injures the pocket not like my last motox accident which got me a nice helicopter ride to hospital. I think SC suffers from quality control problems there either perfect or give trouble which novices cannot overcome! What plane do you fancy next? Paul

I finally cured my SC46 problems.............i bought a OS 46 AX it runs perfectly everytime! lol and at 75 pounds i could not complain!

Thanx spanner! i have replied to the wrong thread Doh! re sc46 constant deadstick!. i had constant problems with it from new so i bought a sc52 4st as a replacement but i have now changed it to a OS 46 AX so i can move my engines around! pity cos i love the 4st sound but i would have to radicly changed the mounting! and happy landings to

I did all the things suggeasted at its no better! i spent all day and othersa tryin to sort it but to no avail so im gona buy a new carb as suggested!

sunds like a plan i will do some research 2nite DG! nice one Mouldy!

Thanx guys i have not been a member long so i have not had the time to fully exlpore this site yet! but i guess it keeps the topic fresh lol I was given advice to buy a kyosho calmoto low winger but everyone is giving me different advice now that i have bought it my fellow club members think the shop has givin me bad advice!.This plane was orderd in so its hardly the "last plane he's got type thing".I guess it comes down to different peoples thoughts! I heard a sayin to "three mistakes high"! thanks for your thoughts everyone! Paul

Hi! I have posted this thread for myself and other newbies lol graduating from high wing trainers! so what does every one think for type of plane, size,wing type and cost etc

Im sure i will she is a beutiful plane and you do get atached to them especially when you have built it yourself! Yes crashing planes is defo less painfull and the hobby is pretty light on the wallet compared to motox! i totaly smitten with it just need to get my sc46 running properly and it will be even better! Its nice to know the designer is available for questions and other exierenced flyers and builders to! What a great hobby this is!  Paul

i am so pleased i spotted this thread i have built the fusealage and i am now building the first wing ! its been a great project and helped the time pass recovering from my moto x injuries im new to this hobby but totaly smitten! iv picked up alot of usefull tips here and the build has given me the expierene to repair my crashed Arising Star! tho im a raw novice it has been a straight fwd build upto now and very enjoyable at that!Tho its going to have to be a ornament till im expierenced enuff to fly it lol!  Thanks Paul

Hi Steve! come to think about it ! its never been reliable in my first model(Arising star) it was not arising when the wing sheared off lol! but thats another toic to discuss lol
