No you are wrong I'm afraid! ASP did make a 70 size four stroke. It did come later than the 65 size I seem to recall.
Just Engines still list spares for it.

Southern Modelcraft use ML70 in their non-castor based fuels too.

Not sure that is quite what the letter from the BMFA Chairman says.....He does say that he has enquired about other airfields, which are presumably RAF owned, since he is ex-RAF and maintains links with the RAF.

I think the DLE manual suggests using a petroleum (ie mineral) based oil for break in rather than synthetic.

Enough of a signal to get on this forum???

He was actually enquiring about replacement parts for an ARTF Meteor kit, not details of the fullsize.
You often ask question on this forum without any evidence of you having used the vast resources of the internet to do a bit of prior research. People on here are extremely helpful, but if you just demand info from them, it's a bit of a one-way street.

Nice...
Meteor enquiry....double sided trailing arm main undercarriage ?
Not entirely clear in the meteor book I have...
F8 , someone was enquiring...
There is a wondrous invention called Google. It allows you to search for anything. Try typing the following three words in and looking at the pictures it sends you: "gloster meteor undercarriage".

Just been looking on a USB drive for something and found some pics of some of my plastic models. I generally like to build old "classic" kits such as the Matchbox, Airfix, Revell and Heller of my youth 40 years ago. But without the melted fingerprints left on the model this time!

It's a Venom I think.

Balsa Cabin do some flair kits including the SE5a
They do them in the sense that they are all out of stock because they are out of production!

The smaller Cambrian fun-fighters can make decent PSS models, especially if you can keep them light, since they do have a reasonably thin airfoil. I don't know whether the larger Cambrian Fighters of the Fifties have similar sections, but would imagine that they probably do.
That's in contrast to the WestField range of simple jet fighters - P-80, F-86, Mig-29 - which have simple flat plate wings, which I wouldn't have thought would excel on the slope.
Flat plate wings do work on the slope. My Tony Nijhuis Hawk (a contemporary to the Westfield kits) has done lots of flying.
There is a Cambrian F86D in the PSSA that is waiting for a maiden. No reason to suppose it won't go well in the right conditions as it is similar to the mass build Sabre. You just need a good slope and some good lift and most things will go!

The OP's original post (which now seems to have been edited and mainly deleted) specifically asked for alternatives to Outerzone downloads for people who have no access to printing. I merely pointed a guy who provides exactly this service for the exact plan he was interested in.

Derrick Scott provides decent quality printed plans at reasonable prices. The Wayfaraer was kitted by Svenson among others and is listed as available here: https://www.model-plans.co.uk/svenson.htm

Please let's not fill the internet up with more threads about LiPo safety! Every modelling forum has generated so much data that we really don't need any more.

Hi Alan,
Yes its the Hamilcar X if you go back on this forum you'll see my pics. The story is that I was planning to build a Horsa but that was not powered so didn't fit the bill. The Hamilcar however offered the glider plus the powered conversion ticking the boxes. And if it doesnt fly well as a soarer it will be easy to add motors ?
Good stuff Dave

The powered version of the Hamilcar I hope? Or else it's not PSS!

In New Zealand I think, you have to vote, you don't have to in this country.....
Take that the right way, apply what you glean...we won't get fooled again, good song !
You posted exactly the same thing yesterday on this thread! It wasn't exactly relevant the first time.

It's not just speed though, it's thrust to be able to pull it through vertical manouvres. I still think you have ample power in hand, but prop choice, especially pitch, can help.

Lovely result! I would expect the Saito will have no problems with a relatively clean shape and 9.5lbs all up. I used to fly a Jungmann biplane that weighed 11lbs and had full rigging (and drag) on an SC 91 FS which was no powerhouse. It was overpowered.

I still don't think that's a crack, especially after saving the photo and zooming in. Is it untidy work? Yes!
The fact that it's in exactly the same place on both rods suggests to me that it's just replicating a flaw or intentional feature in the casting tooling.

Is it actually a crack? The conrod looks cast or forged rather than machined from billet, so I wonder if it is actually thicker towards the big end and the line is simply where the extra material on the casting tapers away.

That looks like an Enya 30 or 40SS which uses a crankcase with drilled lugs to bolt the muffler onto. The Enya 35V case doesn't have any lugs and requires a separate metal clip as shown by John Wagg - ie a different silencer.
Spring is here again - who's been flying?

Definitely not a Tiger Moth as the wings don't sweep back.
