  1. Heritage Hanger is well worth a visit, very informal workshop tours. More than just Spitfires.   Edited By Russ P on 06/03/2020 13:24:05 Edited By Russ P on 06/03/2020 13:25:05

  12. I have just received a lipo from Hobbyking posted from Hong Kong using FedEx, the paper work included a declaration of dangerous goods which stated that they were to travel on cargo aircraft only. Don't know the cost as it was a replacement for a faulty lipo and they paid. Would think that if you have to send them separately from your other belongings the cost would be prohibitive, buying new in Australia might be cheaper and easier.
  13. Having followed Danny Fenton's build blog of the Seagull Chipmunk I had to have one. After a 3 month wait whilst my order made its way from Vietnam mines ready for its maiden. Its a superb ARTF!

  15. Thanks. I'm really looking forward to flying her.
  16. Danny/Chris I've followed your blog and was impressed with the Chipmunk so I ordered one. 3 months later I've finally received one. Although the instructions are easy to follow, I have a question which I hope you can help with, how do you wire the landing lights. I've enlarged you photos but still can't see how you did it. Thanks Russ
  17. How do I connect a Lipo for the motor and a Life to power the servos to the rx.
  18. Thanks I'll chech out the points raised. Plenty to think about.
  19. I've built a Junior 60 with 2 channels, after a few of flights resulting in crashes I am looking for some advice. Take off is fine, but after the climb out the model continually loops until it hits the ground! On the one occasion where I was able to close the throttle at the right moment the model glided to a perfect landing, all be it a long way a way. I assumed that the c of g is correct due to the glide being ok, and adjusted the thrust line to give a couple of washers down thrust. But it still looped under power How much down thrust is safe, if indeed that is the issue. Thanks
  20. That sounds like just the thing I wanted. Didn't think of the fibreglass idea, sounds good.
  21. I think I've read somewhere you can use neoprene, not sure that's right though.
  22. I haven't got the plan with me at the moment. I think it says use William brothers 41/2 in or it could be 4 3/4.
  23. I'm building a Gloster Gladiator and thought I would build the wheels. Any advice or link to a thread giving me some pointers. Also where can I get the rubber for the tyres. Thanks
