Slec fun fly could be a good choice. Very easy to build and will not only fly in any conditions but will do most manouvers you could ask for. Also reasonably priced.

Not a satisfactory end to the season racing. There was no doubt Lewis dominated the race and even though Max was catching him prior to the safety car it was doubtful he could have won. There must be some changes to the rules around safety car incidents as they often negate the efforts of the driver in the race. A new set of cars for next year so will be interesting as who makes the most of the new terms. Thanks to John P for running the league.

I have Red Bull as my team, but would like to see Lewis win another championship, mainly to fly the flag but also in recognition of his racing spirit. Red Bull I think will be the team for next year. It would be a disappointing end to the season if the race was decided by the stewards or events due to collisions as has happened in the past.

Glad I'm not the only one not able to follow this series.

What are Mercedes playing at an error like this may well decide the championship. Which means all the teams efforts throughout the season are wasted. They are not my team by the way, I just feel it's a shame.

I have not found a mask that does not cause my glasses to steam up so will be interested if anybody has a recommendation.

Only had it happen once. My wheels came down but fortunately it regained a signal and control was returned and landed ok. Still don’t why

I had this brass weight made to fit an os120 it weighs about 200grms. It never gave any problems and ran for several years until the inevitable bad landing.

I have used poly c in the past. Several coats rubbed down inbetween. The last couple of coats I mixed lightweight filler to make like a cream consistency. This covering gave slight ding proof and took the paint well. Other similar varnishes are available. It does not add much weight and has some fuel proofing as well.

Thanks Martin it was the rcme one I couldn't find.

I wish it was the Australian kit as it might be summertime! I've been looking to see if the smaller build post is still available but not found it?

Repairs completed so opened the box for the LA 7. Going to need to read the build thread several times before work starts

Come on Richard you know you want a mosquito. Three sold without looking! ?

I have the La7 so will join in with this one. Got a few repairs to complete first so will not be starting immediately.

Try to persuade Richard to do a mosquito!?

I have a coup!e of the Vifly finder2 lost model alarms from bangood. They have a small battery that recharges each time the model is used. So if you loose the main battery they will still work. They only weigh 5grms.

Well what,a waste of time this race was!! Should have been called off completely. One of my drivers crashed before the start but at least was allowed to go for a lap in the rain afterwards. There was no way Russel was going to finish second, but I suppose we know who will partner Hamilton next year.

Predictions are difficult enough on there own. Bumping into each other just makes it impossible. I think I'll invest in a crystal ball for the next race. Still my heart is happy to see Hamilton back in the lead even though he is not in my team.

I hope so, will help my predictions but not my team car.

I find with low winger it's easier upside down.

Hi Chris. I've had two of the spitfire and the Hurricane and would build another Spitfire if I could get hold of one. The Spitfire was very good to fly and did not show any tendency to tip stall provided you kept the speed up a bit. The power for both Spits was an OS70 four stroke so your engine should be fine. They did not come out heavy as I covered them in Brown paper to keep the weight down. The retracts were mechanical and I followed the supplementary instructions on how to fit them, as you might be able to see they are angled forward which made taking off and landing easier but not anywhere near to scale. My last one met its end some time ago due to me fiddling with the radio and getting the ailerons reversed on take off, not a pretty sight! Good luck.

Hi Tosh I do not have solution for you but have this model and same tx, so interested in your set up. I use the three position switch and retract switch. Retract switch gives a little bit of down for initial power climbs but then switch it out once I have reasonable contro!, I want it to climb anyway. The three position switch has normal trim, slight down flaps to aid thermalling then spoilers up for shortening the landing

Mixed results and some luck. Picked Hamilton to win but Verstapen for second. Surprised I held third place still. I guess others also had poor results?

Happy Birthday John. Silverstone going to be interesting to predict. Verstappen appears to be dominant, although I think it would have been closer if Hamilton got last Norris earlier. Silverstone is the home track for Hamilton so he could get a boost from the home crowd. Pins at the ready!! Glenn

Well that's the end of my predictions, would better off with A pin and blindfold. I can only hope the race gives me a reprieve.
