    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

    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

    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

    Carbon tet was used as dry cleaning fluid too .All chlorinated hydrocarbons are toxic

    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

    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 .

    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

    The 30% Toni Clark Tiger I used to own flew just right on a Zenoah 38 turning a 22 x 6 prop

    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

    My choice for a follow on is the acrowot .Its easy to fly and especially easy to land and will do aerobatics well

    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 .

    You can use an old fridge compressor (backwards) for vac bagging as well .The Edward’s pump would be a bit powerful
