Our club has used prosynth 10% for all types of engine's including lasers. All have run without problems and as a club we take advantage of bulk buying discounts.

I always use a separate battery for retracts. I've also noticed that some are sensitive to battery capacity and will only work reliably on a good pack.

I've put a bit more down thrust in and moved the battery to bring c of g forward a bit. It has also been suggested that a bit of packing under the trailing edge of the lower wing. Will report back after the weekend flights.

Good news that the Mossie is on its way. Thanks to you guys for taking on what sounds like an interesting challenge. Looking forward to the build.

Thanks for all the replies. Being an artf I've presumed the incidences are correct and as all mounting are predrilled there is no wiggle room. I'll try a bit more down thrust and move the c of g. John in answer to your question if I slow it down it starts to drop a wing very rapidly makes landing interesting !

I have a Seagull super skybolt with a saito 100. The first flight was a nightmare, it climbed all the time and I ran out of trim on the tx. Much to everybody's amazement I managed to land it. On the next trip out with increased downtrust it was better, however it does not feel stable will flick roll in the blink of an eye and inverted climbs like a rocket. The c of g is as recommended and still has about 5deg of down elevator to fly level. Any thoughts on the next step?

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.
