I concur with Scott, I've still got the same set in my cougar and she's 5 years old now, still love flying her and still a great performer.

I enjoyed the video James, what a nice site you have there
Thanks David, we've been busy making improvements (drainage etc) and things are really starting to pay off now. If you are ever up in Yorkshire (near Harrogate) then feel free to pop in, we have a 'who's going flying' calendar on our website that members find helpful, after all modellers love a natter !

We've been having a great time at North Leeds, this year has seen a plethora of new members for our club and with it some exciting new interests.
Colin has been busily scaling up his Extra 330L, all hand made and not bad for a plumber !
One of our new members Nigel has been tinkering with quads and took some lovely video last week, its it amazing how the hobby has changed, who'd of thought that great aerial video was so affordable.

Bob,
I've still got mine it must be 25 years old and still going strong, I took it to Sandhays aero-tow last wekeend and it caused quite a stir after staying up longer than some of the big gliders, it great fun and a dodle to fly if you get the colour scheme right. I fitted a vario to it last weekend and hit 415m off tow (photos from last year at our club www.nlmfc.org)

John,Tim is looking for a new UK dealer for Lander products at the moment so hopefully they will be back in circulation shortly
I'm building the massive (and I mean massive) 90mm Lander T-33 at the moment, its a cracker !

RAF Dishforth had a differnet tornado for the fortnighly fly-in !Indoor flying get more appealing every week, pity I like fast EDF jets ! -
I know there are issues to LMS with HobbyKing but you have to hand it to them and their latest development in producing 'honest' promotion videos for the planes they carry, they recently lured Scott Cuppello (formerly of BRC) over to HK, his videos are classic and IMHO something our local shops could learn a thing ot two from.

Thanksfor the help guys, in the end I opted for replacing the screws for imperial dubro rigging couplers then used the hanger 9 idea of R clips, seems to work.Long term will opt to permanently join the wing and reduce the need for the struts.Thanks
-
I've just purchased a beautiful SIG 1/4 scale cub, a lot larger than expected but covered in glorious solatex which was the deal maker for me.The bit that bother me is the wing struts which are functional but are fixed making storage very difficult, has anyone any experience of alternatives using metal hinges or anything else so the wings fold flat, it would seem quite simple and retain the structural support but what about the mid support bar ?Thanks for any help

Hi tom,Can you post some pictures so we know what you mean, I've got the 6S version with everything on it including the electric retracts (they are way cool) , she's rather heavy but flies a treat, the only thing I wound is that the elevator would not centre with the pushrod system so i opted for sullivan cables which did the trick
-
funny picked one up (but put it down) at the harrogate show last year, there are a few things to watch on it, take a look here I remember the control horns were prone to shear.With the right set-up Its a 140mph bird so have fun.
-
Go with the Lander electric retracts, I've got them on the cougar, too many flights to count and plenty of unexpected landings and still performing, no hassle, no problems, a bonus is that they don't bind / strip !

Nice flying, good to see several of the Lander models in the air at once, you Overlander pilots should practice a routine ?
-
HiThere were a few test models produced, blue/silver, and the red/black version (now red bull) , where did you see the red/blue version Tony ?
-
give overlander a call
-
I completed and build and fly review on our website Link if anyone is interested she really is great fun to build and fly
-
my 2p's worth would be that although the inlet recovers some of the pressure during flight it allows the motor to rev higher so balancing the load and keeping constant draw....Hence the noise change in flight ?I'm not techie in a any way so don't flame my logic !

PC covered is polycarbonate covered dfoam , basically for a little more weight is gets rid of hangar rash !@David, I'm pleased a punch, I've owned all the Lander Jets (currently building the cougar) and they are getting better all the time, their customer service is first class and listen to customer feedback, a 90mm T33
is well in development and a set of electric retracts for upto 7.5lb's just launched. I like the fact that they are open with their products, you see videos that aren't staged and problems with prototypes discussed openly in order to improve. -
Well the maiden of my Mig was last Sunday at the BMFA Northern Area Fly-in at Dishforth. It's not the PC covered version but it is stunning, no trim needed !

Timbo, are you not a modeller ? Don't you regularly trawl the websites of you favourites to see what's new ?www.overlander.co.ukfor all you thinking what's that blithering idiot on about ?

Hi Ken,
Not sure if you are flying off grass or tarmac but she sits quite low and suffers a bit from a low AOA, I shimmed the front leg up with some 1/8 ply which helped a lot.
