Does anyone know if the wing off the mentor will fit on the magistor as I would like a set if they do.

Hi Jeff. a word of advise on the Tiffie be sure & get plenty of lead for C of G in the nose you will need it I,ve had to put over a lb of lead in mine & it is still not enough.

Hi Chris. the plan in the mag is under size by about 5% I know because I had mine reprinted to get it to the correct dimensions, I also contacted Tony N & he verified my corrections .I also built the model to & it requires a lot of lead in the nose to get the C of G right I put in over 1lb & its still not enough.

Hi. know the feeling about login just took 5 attempts before I got though UGh,

Hi. does anyone know anything about the Multiplex Royal Evo 12 I have one & I am having trouble getting the flap channel 6- 7 or 8 ect to work -no matter what is selected for this i.e. whether switch or slider is selected it refuses to operate investigated though monitor with no joy gone though all the relevant digital ops, with no luck. can any one help me with this .

Hi have you had a look on YouTube at the orange stabiliser there mare some helpful tips on it along with some flying to.

Hi. I to have a proxxon table saw the first one I bought the motor burned out very quickly I sent it back & they replaced it with a another new one which has been very good- 5 years now. I did get Makita 85m/m X 1/32 tungsten blade for it which proved to be brilliant at cutting most things including Alum& thin brass ,so I have no complaints with it. I did fix the fence{ extending it } so it would lock up for & aft to stop the fence moving .

Well I finally finished my Typhoon & as you may expect I've had to build a lead mine into the front cowling ,it is now up to 8.5Lb total with batts & its still not right on the C of G- the cowling now alone weighs 1.5Lb . has anybody else had this problem -I'm now wondering whether it will get of the ground at all --- looking for further mining rights to a lead mine.

hi everyone .Realflight trouble. has anyone other than me had trouble activating this programme. I have just lately loaded this sim onto my new PC only to receive a notification from realflight that it wont accept the activation code supplied to me as I had used it to often, I have sent pic's of the boxes with there code numbers on them to no avail this situation is ridiculous as I have purchased all of the items for this only now to find I cannot use it because they say I have used it to often .??

Hi Tom. thank you for the info will give the a ring & see if they will supply info on it.John

Hi out there Does any one know anything about Vortex motors I have a 50/55/ 730 kv brushless outrunner That I need information on ,-like how may Watts is it-prop sizes - ESC controller,- This is a big unit. all info on it please if possible.

here,s a tip thats useful find pringle cartons cut the top half down to about 1" cut off the bottom base glue it to the topcutoff piece & it makes a handy pin container & with its clear plastic top its easy to see whats in the container . I used several of these for screws -etc + they dont break when dropped from bench to floor .

Hi. just got around to start building mine & you know what RCM&E have done it again got plan pack & that ruddy plan is to small -only 58" span checked the mag one & it is also 58 " span also . this is not the first time this has happend to me I also bought a plan pack for the 72" Dacota which turn out to be only 68.5 " span it has now cost me over £ 25 .00 or mre to get the plans corrected to the right size.s not a good start .John powles

Sir. have been trying to purchase typhoon vac form set for the tony nehause plan without success I am being refused password that I use for the RCM&E site .I, wish to purchase the set but cannot can you help .tried phoneing to no avail.John powles

Hi Roy. I like your plunge windows ,I thought I was being clever when I do them on some of my models-its a bit fiddlerly when doing more complex shapes though.however they do look better than the stuck behind ones.

Hi roy .snug as it may be ,there still is,nt much room left for even a bug,-or two.however the progress is loooking good.will we get the video of the maidan flight of it on the RCM&E you tube site.

Hi Roy .it looks like everything is a bit of a tight fit round the nacells.not much room for anything except air.

Hi Roy so you are nearly there with it ,-its looking very nice so far as I can see you retracts seem to operate very well . I looked at that video of the other modeler,s  DAK  where it tended to tip stall on take off I hope yours is ok .It looked a bit frightning -that take off & also seemed to fly very fast even on the 2- 500hds that powered it,-awell finished model though.John

Hi Roy. I see you are progessing well with it ,I bought another on on ebay complete with mouldings all there & the plan was correct size. I have informed the plans service of the 5% error on the ones supplied to me ,but  I dont suppose they will do anything about  itjohn until someone else complaines it seems these days that its a take it or leave it attitude to the punters.

Latest daft bit.just finished my T.N. Hurricane set it all up on the bench tested the power unit for right direction & servo ops. then tested the power outputs with -you amps &watts ect. then came the test for rpm well put tranny down on bench ajusted throttle to idle got tacho set for the 2 bladed prop low behold I dropped the thing onto the tranny throttle makeing a grab for it  inadvertantly banging the the said thing wide open whereupon the model shot off the bench& you can  imagine the rest .""!!***^^^**and son.John

Roy. I like your U/C it looks like you made quite a good job there ,I am still pondering over mine as to wether to go with tonys design or try my own way to do it. however keep up the good progress on it. John

roy. I have just had the plan the I got though the RCM&E enlarged by 5% & it is now the correct size .how were your balsa ribs the ones that came with my  pack are quite soft -dont know wether to use them or not .John

Hi Roy. thanks for the reply .,I bought my plan & pack quite recently well within the last month or so. I phoned T.N. & he  informed me of the correct size,s for Johnthe dak  & he told me that the CNC pack was the right size .so that ment that the plan was wrong.-the bulkheads were way to big for the plan so to the ribs etc., I worked it out that the plan I have is 5% to small.  How are you getting on with yours .

Roy. I see you have stared your dak,I to have one got the plan got the cnc pack & they dont match the plan is,nt big enough for the wood pack. I phoned tony N & was informed by him of the wingspan ect & my plan is too small by 3" or more however I have informed the plans service of this & they will get back to me on the correct plan size, & send me a new plan I hope.John Powles

Now that I am a paid up member of the RCM&E -paid my subsription to mag..I would expect to be able to access the subsribers extra but alas no it is not available , whenever I try to get on to it  so what is the problem. I send emails off to the enquiries dept & what do get - zilch  .John
