I have always had success with solar film but the shop we went to did not have any, so we got this instead, just been covering my peter miller feugray, have managed to cover the rudder moderately but went to cover the fin and right elevator but there is massive sagging, if anything, heating it up has made it go looser that it was when it went on, I have sealed all the edges securely before shrinking up but it just will not shrink! it is annoying, especially when this stuff costs so bloomin much   Tried using a hot hair drier to shrink it but it is no use this is making me feel quite depressed

The first nitro plane I flew was my granddad's club's toffee bombing barnstormer! It was a beast! although when they were ready for me to fly it, it was pretty high up!

I am infinitely jealous of your building quality mario!

Ah ok my shoddy building then! :P  I made sure to test the incidence of  my feugray!

Brainwave! I was staring at the dismembered tail surface of my miss demeanor sitting nex to the computer table and wondering what could have caused the horrible pitching, turns out I had forgotten to chamfer the leading and trailing edges of the tail surfaces :s could this have been the tiny mistake that could have caused such grief? 

I wonder if I have any airframes that I could make a little money from

:s

You didn't send me any of them did you? I think my mum has thrown the box away :s didn't see any in there   what do you guys think of this?  CNC :P

Until I pass my driving test I am stuck inside till Friday or Saturday

Hmm you had me at 'Hot Chicks' :P I think I'll get my copy!

Not wanting to jynx but Friday and Saturday for AL4!

I think I am going to put a smoke system on mine so I have put a hatch under the fuel tank, I have also put a hatch at the back for any lead I may need to add. Oh and I have finished sheeting the bottom fuse.

I think if you are interested in doing cnc cutting, there is a plugin for google sketchup which allows you to plot cutting strokes around your parts, ie offset them the diameter of the cutting bit.

I think I shoud be alright with the painting, I have quite a bit of experience spraying car body shells

Can I just get you to do mine mario? :P

My obechi spars have actually warped slightly but the addition of the leading edge sheeting will be able to remove that.

Go on, buy it!!! :P what about a hk450? i think they are quite cheap but the spares are very cheap! check giant cod. http://www.giantcod.co.uk/hk450-ccpm-electric-helicopter-p-403899.html  Strangely they sell (or atleast have on their website) spares for hk250s but they don't sell the kits!

A file you enter into a CNC machine to make the part.

Can you export g code files?

basically it pushes the BB onto an o ring then releases reservoired air onto the back of it, propelling the BB out! I wish i had my own lathe! Anyway, enough of mine, back you yours!

If they made it belt driven tail like any other 250 it would be better. You sure you don't want it? it is an impressive high quality machine, nothing like these cheap nasty Esky lamas Come with two batteries! Edited By Peter 'Servo Scrounger' Savage on 02/04/2010 00:00:06
