Hi Karlos and welcome.I have the phoenix sim and love it.....its as close to flying as i'm happy to get when the weather doesn't permit a trip to the field. If you don't have a super-duper wizz bang graphics card in your PC start with the various graphics settings on lowest and nudge them up until you just start to get a bit of juddering and them back them off a notch for max enjoyment.I haven't flown at the Wellingborough club (used to work real close though) but i know its top notch club with a great field . and website. Take it steady with the models and don't rush your training...it'll all come in time and the sim will help esp with the orientation side of things no end. Good luck.

Oh yes of course.....how much are they if you don't mind me asking.....i have read about them before somewhere.
-
So i've treated myself to a new 120 size war bird and having had mixed fortunes with a traditional air up/down undercarriage system before i'm looking around for an electric up/down alternative....I've found a set made by Lander on "a well known auction site which look fine but as always has anyone tried these before....your honest thoughts would be appreciated.
-
yeah i'll do a build blog......don't expect to see anything before the end of the year though if not early next year as we're just about to fill a container and emigrate..Looking fwd to it though....just about to ask a what we think of Lander Electric retracts from "the bay" in another post though.....or am i being a cheap skate.!!

YT September Fury bought and then delivered today....i think it was the last one they had...phew!...Its going with me to New Zealand before it gets built though....OH the trouble i've had smuggling all the other bits into the freight without SWMBO seeing it....What the eye don't see the mind don't worry about...thats my motto.lol
-
If the popcorn is all gone how about a nice big slice of humble pie gents...lol.Alan....shhhhhh don't ever say "short supply" they'll be all gone by the time i get my chq book out. Pity the online ordering systen isn't up and running...you'd have my cash by now.

I thought 4 metal geared servos for under 100 wasn't too bad. Cheaper and more torquey (is that a word?) than the equivilent JR which i was going to buy @ £35 each.
-
OK OK i'll order direct from them if it makes you happy
. The plane is manufctured in China BTW by ESM.
-
Direct is not always cheaper...and maybe it'd be good to supoort someones LMS....and for price comparison too.
-
Cheers Chaps...i might give these ago for a change.
-
Can anyone tell me what type of plugs these servos come with. For the life of me i can't find a picture or info anywhere.ta
-
Quite simply i'm looking for one of these kits and other than YT themselves has anyone else seen one on their LMS shelves?
-
53 and 54 i possibly maybe.
-
But if something is new in a box its new in a box surely?.. Most people use generic "off the internet" pics anyway esp if its new. .When it comes to second hand though yes a picture is a must.
-
Soldering = Brittle. Add vibration and you've got an accident waiting to happen. If you must solder then fully support the joint with glue potting or similar and only allow the wire to bend away from the joint.
-
I'll not be buying from them again either and all i can do is recommend others be careful if they do buy from this source. Shame really as i was trying to support a British supplier. We do it to ourselves don't we.
-
Any news back from the Component shop yet Lee?I've reworked the ones i have by cutting the heatshrink back a bit and looping the wire back on itself before potting it and then some fresh heatshrink over the top. I'm just checking the 3700mah sub C pack i got from there a while back and its the same i'm afraid to say. NOT HAPPY!! Thank god thats not been up in the sky either!!
-
There's my next model then...she's a beauty!!. Mmmmm where's the chq book.
-
I think that if the wire needs some support i'll be putting a loop into the wire under some fresh heatshrink and potting it up to support it further. Mine are to be used in a 26cc petrol where vibration is a killer for anything like that.
-
Having just wrapped my new battery deep in some foam (same supplier/same battery) and installed it into a newly rebuilt warbird i'm now very nervous. I wil be taking it back out...sigh....and checking to see if its up to a decent standard. And people wonder why we don't shop in the UK. We do it to ourselves don't we.Cheers for the heads-up Lee.Plz keep us posted on the reply from "the shop".

Title kind of says it all really...i love my 26cc petrol engine and i'd like another and i'd like a my next model to be a Sea Fury...I've looked in all the usual places but no joy. Somebody must do one. The seagul one is just a bit small for a 26cc i think. Preferably ARTF but i'm open to a full build if ness.

I painted mine with 3 coats of 50% thinned dope so get rid of the solartex weave...worked a treat and i got as high as a kite in the process....sore head in the morning though!!
-
I've just finished covering a wing in solartex and non shrinking dope. Reason was simply to fill the weave ready for painting. It took 3 good coats of 50/50 mix dope/thinners to do it but the finish is like glass after rubbing down. Lots of hard work and a week to do but worrth it i'd say.

I reckon it could be 11
What do you do for a JOB... ???
