Merry Christmas all.

Unless I have read it wrong, fence disrupts radio signals, and I thought they had already said it was unlikely to be flying by radio. More likely to be a programmed flight using GPS, so how would that help?

Seems to be working again.

Could it be that for some reason people who think they are on the site are actually on a cached version?

I contacted Cambrian, and they responded by saying the left thrust was deliberate. Apparently they tried it with right thrust, left thrust, and no angle, and were told it worked best with left thrust. The reason given was the little motor. I was not aware that scaling everything down and using a little motor would swap the required thrust direction, and it is definitely not something I have noticed on small and indoor RTF models. But there you go.

Thanks for that, I think pushing it back the other way with a wedge seems reasonable. A shame really as other than this it has been very slick so far.

Finally got round to building this. Main structures went together in a couple of hours, but I have now stopped as something seems odd to me. The fuselage sides are handed, and I have them the right way round, but looking at it there is a built in side thrust.....to the left. That seems the wrong way round to me. Am I missing something?

I seem to remember seeing mention of a version of PLA that is sufficiently more thermally stable to make it not really an issue. It may have actually been on the Aerofred website.

Yet another note for the Mazda 6 tourer. Loads of space, goes like stink, and does more to the gallon than my wife's city car (oh yeah, and actually looks good). Diesel get an undeserved bad press in some cases. Mazda go better than the strictest regs (hence joke cheap road tax) without having to add the blue stuff, just by good design and having the lowest compression ratio diesel on the planet to increase burn time. Never had a Mazda before, but would have another in a heartbeat.

Looks pretty impressive. It all looks to sit true, which would be a worry building from small blocks. I like it.

On a home pc (unless the shop were naughty and put a password on it so you have to go back to them) it usually says that you need administrator permissions and you click OK and it gives you them. Very pointless, but I have seen it a good many times.

I'm another secretly watching with interest. IMHO this could be the future of model building as 3d printers get better and cheaper. It sort of has karma as well, as most of us started building airfix kits and could end up printing and building what are essentially giant airfix kits.

As far as I can make out a lot of the chargers with "6" in them are badge engineered from the same manufacturer. I have had the same thing happen on more than one (they will usually say full....but can be hours to do the last few mAh). It isn't the batteries in my case. In fact I have a couple of duo607 chargers where the batteries now register as full in the right period of time on the left hand connectors, but not on the right. Weird...but not a lot I can do about it. Realistically, when pressing the display and it is showing 4.20V per cell, and only a handful of mAh in half an hour then they are done. I know this as if I swap sides they register as full within a couple of minutes.

I picked one up, but it is still in the box.

Not from me, and they have been on some of my models ( Inc a 72 inch Katana) for a few years.

I have used a lot of the HD1201 (12kg) servos and they have always been accurate strong and reliable. Can't fault them.

I saw him a few years ago and he joked about us not getting out until after all the buses and taxis had stopped. Turned out he wasn't joking......

They are not out of stock at Steve Webb's (Servoshop) as 2 arrived from there today. They are 25 quid though.
