    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

    Cracking job it looked like a black bag job at the start .My dad used to fix them during the war .He was rather rude about the main spar which he had to re glue often .

    As per Jon I don’t like walking and flying at the same time. It’s now an A test requirement to stand in the pilots box for takeoff which is a bit harsh to me ,it was a skill I had to learn along with the B test schedule

    I got nothing what a waste of time and effort
  16. Alan Hilton
    Exactly
  17. Alan Hilton
    Yes because the motorbike is driven by its wheels
  18. Alan Hilton
    The crux is that the wheels don’t drive the plane it’s the prop/ turbine .If the plane was replaced by a car the the car wouldn’t move because it’s driven via the wheels .The plane will move the wheels just rotate more quickly
  19. Alan Hilton
    Quite right the wheels just rotate at double speed .See mithbusters on youtube
  20. Alan Hilton
    I agree

    Further to my earlier post hammerite smooth is a synthetic based paint ,there are some synthetic based clear coats which may be worth trying .I’m all electric now (bad back) so it’s no longer an issue for me
  22. Alan Hilton
