  1. Have you tried setting the tx to pcm ?
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. 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 .
  5. Very nice work looking good . Will we see the new one at Hastings later in the year?
  6. I have found the ones from 4 max very good .
  7. Bill Manley of Bill kits makes nice foam wings, saves ages when building aerobatic models and perform well.He needs tip and root sections and a plan view
  8. The 30% Toni Clark Tiger I used to own flew just right on a Zenoah 38 turning a 22 x 6 prop
  9. Take a sharp Stanley knife, put the tube on the bench ,then put the blade on the tube at 90 degrees to the tube ,then roll the tube back and forward using the knife to power the roll .It takes practice to keep the blade on the right place
  10. My choice for a follow on is the acrowot .Its easy to fly and especially easy to land and will do aerobatics well
  11. I sold Bert the tiger because my knackered back wouldn’t cope with big models any more .I flew it for years on a zenoah 38 and it was great .The prop was scale size (22 6 ) It flew scale like in most conditions .It was a bit tricky in a force 5 wind though .
  12. You can use an old fridge compressor (backwards) for vac bagging as well .The Edward’s pump would be a bit powerful
  13. Sounds like the esc is cream krackered try another one
  14. Could be a George Formby impersonator rather than a fisherman
  15. The original gangster 63 was great on an os 61 rf pumper its vertical performance was off the scale .If I did one today I would go for an os 91 surpass. I did modify the model to a tail dragger to accommodate the tuned pipe for the rf pumper
  16. Talk to or email 4max. George is good at this stuff .He needs to know weight span and ground clearance to be accurate
  17. Model fixings have a good stock of m2 screws search fixings on the main page then fixings again on the second page
  18. Hi Richard put me down for a tempest please
  19. Hi Richard Will the tempest be a mk2 or5 please
  20. I nag all my students to level the wings ,so they hopefully do that before anything else when in trouble .If the wings are level the model can be recovered safely
