    You don't have to click on it....😐

    Exactly... so larger prop, ups the ampage, motor not rated to new ampage.... burn-out. The new ESC may be able to cope but not the motor.
  3. simon barr
    You can't always just up the ESC ampage size as you may be over amping the motor which will eventually burn out. If you don't know the amp rating of the motor, be careful.

    Splash guard...? Its just a wheel in a hole. Are you sure you have the Volantex ASW 28? My Kavan Twin Shark has a wheel with fake u/c doors (which I didn't fit)... its not this is it?

    The wheel on mine is 70mm diameter with what looks like a 4mm bolt axle, not expensive to buy 😐
  6. simon barr
    Is this just a statement or are you asking if anyone has a spare wheel you could have? If landing on grass, you don't really need the wheel anyway.

    Yes I remember. I popped in for a look a few years ago whilst up visiting my daughter, and was kindly allowed to fly my foame acrowot that I had taken with me.

    Is that the club at Wymondham, Ron?
  9. simon barr
    Can't see it... what is it?
  10. simon barr
    Yes, always interesting to see different builds/assemblies.

    I had one of those way back... it was my first 35 meg radio! Mine literally had just the two sticks and that was it. You had to add sliders and switches yourself. Don't recall having a manual - there was nothing to look up, but servo reversing is done by removing the back cover and un-plugging the stick plugs from their sockets and turning them around!

    I'm pretty sure that is a Viceroy made by Masterline, (I think). I had one years ago... flew very well.

    Hi Gary. I see you haven't had any replies for this one which is unusual, as there is normally someone in the know. I don't know what it is, but could it be an early Chris Foss Phase "something-or-other"? It may just be a "Bitsa" or a plan build. Hopefully this reply may nudge others into replying with more info. Simon.

    I swapped from NiMhs to lipos as receiver packs simply for practical reasons... It only takes less than an hour to charge, and I would be charging flight packs anyway, so can be out flying (power or glider) with just a couple of hours notice.

    I think its the camera... the cabane struts are doing the same thing.

    What ever it was, they never reached the end of it..... 😄

    Remember that us "oldies" all built our "first" kit... No ARTF back then!

    Looking forward to it... 😉 (from an experienced modeller)

    Looks like their version of the SIG Kadet Senior which is also an excellent model.
  20. simon barr
    If you know he paid 750 Euros for it, and you think that is a reasonable price for that kind of model, then that's the maximum you should offer him, in my opinion, so 500 Euros would be a good starting point.

    Could be a wing for a Uno Wot.
  22. simon barr
    It may still be a Wot4 wing, as the mark 3 (I think) had a tapered wing... straight LE, tapered TE. Afraid I don't know the dimentions, but the standard "straight" wing Wot4 was 52 inch span.

    Unless you are using a high voltage capable receiver and servos, make sure that you are running the 2s pack (7.4 volts) through some sort of voltage regulator to reduce the voltage down to a max of 6 volts, or else everything will fry.
  24. simon barr
    Just seems to me that a lot of the models mentioned don't have retractable landing gear in model form, and you originally specified a model that was a float plane with gearthat could be dropped to exit water... Iwas just pointing out that the Seawind would do exactly as you asked.

    Seems the amphibian idea is no longer a requirement, John.
