I still use one of these and it's is 12 v

Thanks Ron

Thanks for the update on the Mossie situation, I'm sorry if we have put you under pressure.Good to know it is still in the drawing board. I recently flew my L.A. 7 and was reminded how well it flies and copes with our bumby strip. Was there some mention of a warbird fly in at the end of last year?

I have bought a few of the cowl s from this guy and they are if anything better quality than the originals and available in different colours.

That's good news about the mossie, I was beginning to worry with all this chat of spits and 109 s that the mossie has gone on the back burner.

Weston UK have made custom silencers.

Most definitely another vote for P51. Avoid spirited for a while.

I had exactly the same problem with my pumped 91. I cured it by using epoxy on the regulator to stop the leak. Id photo it for you but it is still in a flying model.

You can get cowls for both kit and artf acro wots from e bay. Steve 1590 is the site to look for. They are better quality than the original and available in colours.

I've stripped a few of these engine's and not found any with a head gasket. The hole in the case is to allow you to replace the gudgeon pin and is covered by the liner when in position.?

Apparently Weston surver is down but they are taking orders by phone. Our club has used their fuel for many years without any issues.

I've used aerocote in the past which is a two pack resin and left it for at least 24 hrs, but obviously the longer the better.

Have done it and used fuel in the club trainer without any issues. The only comment I would think is not to mix any fuel with a castor content.

I also had a similar problem with the gimbals on my dx9, logic fitted new ones at a very reasonable cost and quick time. Occasionally they do pop up for sale in e bay.

Sorry a bit of a dramatic tittle, but mainly seaking advice. This weekend we managed to get a bit of flying in and got onto the subject of Lipo fires as a couple of our members had close calls with Lipo s catching fire resulting in visits from the fire brigade. I charge my lipos in my shed and also have an electric bike that is charged in a separate garage. The conversation made me think of fire alarms as both venues are remote from the house. Amazon has some alarms that are wirelessly linked to a phone app. Has anybody any experience of these or advice on the best approach. Needless to say my lipos are charged in a bag and stored in an ammunition container.
