  1. Looks like it's this one Item No.SPMB6600LITX Based on Spektrum website here
  2. Why 1/4", spec is 3mm, so I do same as you but smaller still. But I've seen models turn up with ID written in biro on 1" masking tape 🤔
  3. Just a heads up, we are currently with BT for our broadband, got a call today from. EE, general gist after the merger between them and EE will be handling domestic accounts and BT business. Reviewed my details and said I could sign up for new 24 month contract at £37 pm, about £3 more than our current BT, but with a slightly higher speed. Checked on line and if I went direct to EE as a new customer the same package is £30! So if you're with BT and get a call from EE don’t rush to signup.
  4. The Flair DR1s are a bigger scale than the DVII, couple of Friends have DR1s with OS120 FS's and they are adequately powered.
  5. Flyer ID lasts for 5 years, Operator ID only 1 year, you don't need to pass through online test to get an operator ID.
  6. Yep, rubber powered. Weigh them, if they are less than 250grams find a nice wide open space and fly them. If they Weigh more you'll need an operator and flyer ID. You'll probably need new rubber for them some here https://www.vintagemodelcompany.com/flight-rubber
  7. With a logic switch you will get no voice until the preset limit, just thought this option would help as you're using different sized batteries, but whatever works for you is fine.
  8. Peter, just a suggestion, instead of setting a capacity alarm, use a logic switch to trigger a mah readout after xxxx mah, that way it's quiet until the limit is reached and then you can have it read out the mah every X seconds.
  9. If you search online you can find cheaper (than the bmfa) drone insurance which covers fixed wing models too, but they are generally less cover and the BMFA article 16 exemptions give you additional exemptions from the CAA rules with regards to height etc.
  10. You would need very deep pockets for 4 turboprops! But the IL-38 would be ideally suited to electric power and that would give you the option to use a smaller more manageable plane. Not a beginners model though.
  11. If it's a fairly straight run you can also run a suitably sized piano wire down the same outer sleeve, put make sure you've clean out the sleeve first.
  12. Steve, if the motor still doesn't work, try moving the trim to minimum. Just about all ESCs won't arm until they have seen a low throttle position, it's a safety feature to stop the motor from accidentally starting on plug in. I assume all the other channels work fine.
  13. Dug out as very old Alfa Models Mig 15, bit beyond repair, fancy transposing the fan unit into one of their Mig21's, I see you can order them direct from the Czech Republic. Has anybody ordered any model from Alfa Models post Brexit, if so were there any issues?
  14. No, general aviation are expected to stay above 500ft (1000ft over congested areas), so the 400ft is to keep an adequate separation, we as BMFA members have the article exemption from this due to our good safety record etc.
  15. Yep, I can see my own, but not other club members and they are the ones asking me to check for them.
