Mine are 2.5 amp and are fine

That’s similar to my ones I think that mine are smaller I will check later .My hangar is up the garden
-
I use a 2 volt lead acid (cyclone) cell wired in parallel .This works with os f type plugs in a laser v twin . It’s a bit heavy but is ok in a bigger model

Cellulose thinners when the iron is cold -
I have tried both methods and found Richards way the best .On larger models I used 3 mm ply in place of the balsa
-
I suspect that the difference is well inside the error of the monitor ,so no problem .You will probably find more difference shown between cell voltages on a balanced charged pack
-
I would prefer electric retracts for the la7 and olios if available
-
I have the same motor in an 80” Laser 200 using 8 s lipos it weighs a bit more than your eagle and is well powered so you should be fine
-
Thanks chaps
-
Please could anyone tell me how buying from the European warehouse is going now
-
AKA metal door stop !!

Yes please for la7 retracts ,I’m in no rush the ju88 isn’t finished yet

Hi Gordon you are right on the enthalpy of combustion ,but you get a better ratio of fuel to oxygen for an explosive mixture with alcohols so it’s swings and roundabouts
-
Use Aspin it’s a bit more expensive but worth it
-
Thanks Ron what width did you get
-
Hi Ron where did you get the lam film from ?
-
If the frsky 2.4 module is in place no 35 meg rf will be transmitted so no problem

Your not kidding Ron I usually blame the anchovies

I got the remains and rebuilt it .Its a 1/4 scale leopard moth G ACUS I’m selling because my knackered back won’t cope with large models anymore which is a shame because it flys well and looks the part
-
Micro balloons and white emulsion paint works well but doesn’t keep
-
Check out the local tip .I have seen several old school British made presses at mine .I have an old Elliot which is built like a tank .I got mine from an engineering firm which used to deal in second hand stuff .Its so heavily built it doubles as a bearing press with no problem
-
I can underline Jon’s comments ,from personal experience ,a laser 150 will fly a 1/4 scale tigermoth but not well ,a180 is far better .I had a flair se5 with a 180 and it was fine any less would be marginal
