  1. It does look like adverse yaw If you have two. aileron servos try extreme aileron differential ie. all up and no down .The model may require rudder input in the turns
  2. Mds 61 There isn’t room for a full description!!!
  3. Use pva on the bandage instead of polyester resin .Covering sticks to that well
  4. How about a Perry pump the vibrating one ,they work with 4 strokes
  5. cracking job Jeff what did you use for the welding?
  6. My one is ok with a 4s 3300 lipo as far forward as possible .I can’t remember what motor is in there but it’s the one Richard recommends as are the retracts
  7. A mate built the mick reeves camel It was a major faf to build and it flew like a brick .I had the db pup which was great to build and flew well ,it’s not all that scale like though .I also had a db se5 which I bought competed ,it flew like brick .A flair dr1 was easy to build and flew well ,except for ground handling ,which was tricky, again not that true to scale
  8. I have flown flair tiger moths on laser 150s and 180s the 180 was defiantly better
  9. I have a Tony Ninjus gnat ,the larger one .I had similar problems getting it airborne .I bought a hobby king catapult .I get a mate to hold the fin ,give it full beans then activate the catapult ,this works great .I have had many successful flights doing this
  10. The carb spray bar should ideally be level with the tank centre line but I have found that somewhere within the tank is ok .I had a DB 1/4 pup with a laser 200 v twin .The tank was way above the carb but the engine ran fine if I didn’t fly inverted
  11. Same for me I won’t get started on mine till next autumn now
  12. Carbon tet was used as dry cleaning fluid too .All chlorinated hydrocarbons are toxic
  13. Have you tried setting the tx to pcm ?
  14. Talk to George at 4 max he is clued up It’s also worth looking on. the recomended set up section on the same web page
  15. JR tx charging sockets are negative centre post, which is the reverse of normal, connect a normal charger and its a problem .There is probably a fuse as mentioned before .Have a look in the battery compartment , if its not there take the back off
  16. Poly c is water based polyurethane floor varnish, so its not fuel proof .I second Jon 2 pack is the way to go but use a chemical proof face mask .These are usually available from auto paint suppliers .
  17. Very nice work looking good . Will we see the new one at Hastings later in the year?
