Hi , can any one tell me how to set up my sc 40 carb . I am having trouble setting up the idle adjustment to get a steady tick over, I can only get a fast tick over which stops with one click of trim. The engine is second hand without instructions so i dont know the correct starting point for the idle screw.

 New hanger at "ashfield international" ( thats what the domestic authority calls the shed) is now complete and waiting for new models , a glider would fit in very well.

 Yes please , count me in

Colin has two sites in the Wellingborough area  ,very easy to find     .....

          Yes please , just give me time to clear the work table,,,,, all done. Now i will keep a look out for the postie.

Hi Owen and Birdy, Iv,e tried looking on the opposite shift for a wife but the one iv,e got says i wont be able to afford a second one .And ive also tried swapping her for a clock from argos and that didn,t work either . On the positive side the overtime money comes in handy............cheers all

Yes please.Is it any easier to control than the wifes fury? 

HI ,Ive had a couple of hours with Colin and he certainly knows his stuff. Only work and distance (i live in wolverhampton) have prevented my return ,but i will be going back as soon as i can .

I wanna go slope soaring . Will my ripmax trainer do 300mph ? The irvine 40 up front is only 10 years old and maybe i could launch it of the top of k2 using a bungee. Seriously though the video is amazing, congratulations!

If its free that you want ,dont forget the museum at RAF Cosford during the LMA show this year . I can recomend it to all ..... check out the cold war display, its excellent. 

If you go about learning to fly models in the proper way it is very rewarding and very very enjoyable,however there are a number of pit falls waiting to take the shine off your new hobby . In my case it may be self inflicted, but ignore the perills at your own risk. If the  domestic authority suggests that the kitchen could do with a bit of tidy up, PAINT IT QUICK ! delaying this only gives them time to get together with the offspring and before you know it your ripping out walls fitting new doors and splashing out on the services of the local corgi gas fitter to fit a new fire. Apart from the time factor this can have a serious affect on the modeling budget. Add all this to wedding preperations and you end up with one seriousley skint and knackered budding model flyer . Does anyone know where i can buy a 28 hour clock and a calender with a nine day week .

   Dare i try again while no one,s looking .oh go on then .

Count me in ,just nipping over the model shop for glue .Oh and what size engine do i need?

Seconds out ,end of round one. Thanks to all who have joined in this debate,  its been both informative and confusing to me. Am i any wiser ? i think so , but it looks like i may have opened that can of worms  mentioned by kevin ..oops. Now where did i put that article on free flight,and my bag of rubber bands .

 texan odd sort to pass up a chance at this one.

Can anyone tell me if you can use a futaba tx with a different rx ( sanwa ) or is this not possible. I  also have a sanwa tx but i dont think its possible to buddy this up with a futaba . i would need to use the sanwa as the slave in this pairing.

Piper cub wanted .must be free .good home waiting for right plane,,,,,cheers!

count me in ,it,s loads better than an easter egg.

mmmmmmmm, purple power, has anyone got a bin bag for this old glow engine .

If Jon,s plan is not taken up then i,d like the one thats up for grabs (i ,know i sound selfish but its all in the best possible taste }

First class , this is what makes the world go around ,keep it coming.

   Sounds good to me .weather permitting i look forward to a good day out.

   In for a penny ,in for a jp mini aviator ( i think thats how the saying goes?)

Try using emulsion paint as a primer ,it,s water based and covers well.

 Congratulations on going solo Dave ,and also well done to Shauns son on his A. I am just getting back into the hobby after six years, and have just had a couple of hours tuition from Colin  Chapman who runs a school near Northampton to start building confidence again .  I am now joining a local club and going out to hammer the credit card into submission, chocs away!!!.
