And so back to the flying. XFly Tasman. Knetishall 2025

Well surprised at that result. Only one way to go from here. 🔽

If I remember correctly, I pulled this from their webpage. Which I can not now seem to find. For items that are brand new in the box and are still currently sold in model shops the price we will usually get for them is around 50-75% Of the current RRP. (For Example an item that costs £100 will usually sell for £50-75) For Items that used but are in excellent condition (Like New) and are still available to be purchased from a model shop the price we usually sell these for is 50-75% of the current RRP. (For Example an item that costs £200 will usually sell for £100-150) For most items however they do usually show signs of being used but are still available to be purchased from a model shop for example a perfectly working engine that shows signs of use and has a few marks on it (No Broken mounting lugs or fins) we will usually get around 25-35% of the current RRP. (For Example an engine costing £400 we will usually sell this for £100-150) For items that have been either repaired or damaged such as an engine with a repaired exhaust port or missing parts or a servo with a broken mounting lug or a brushless motor with a bent shaft these usually have very little value. For items that are still perfectly usable just outdated and no longer available these will usually have a minimal value such as old 35mhz gear and old servos this will usually have a resale value of around 5-10% of the original RRP . For items based mainly on technology such as Multi-rotors these are very difficult sellers due to the technology inside them continuously being updated for a standard Hobby Grade Multi Rotor this will usually have a value of 10-15% of the original RRP while Professional grade systems can vary between 5-15% of the original RRP, Airframes that are sold as (Airframe only) If they're in pristine condition these will usually sell for 40-60% of the current RRP. For used airframes that haven't been repaired this number will usually be around 25-40% of the current RRP While Airframes that are well used and have minor repairs these usually sell for 10-15% of the current RRP No where can I see what you have for sale. The closest would be "For Items that used but are in excellent condition (Like New) and are still available to be purchased from a model shop the price we usually sell these for is 50-75% of the current RRP." The only difference being that none of you models are still available! This does not normally make them more desirable, indeed the possible lack of spare parts makes them worth less. Let us know how you get on as I have a workshop in need of a serious declutter.

Without checking my many reference books I seem to recall the yellow square was to indicate if the patch had been subject to "gas" I.E. mustard gas and others of course.

I fly with the BMFC Bury Model Flying Club https://bmfc.bmfa.club/ OK it is in Suffolk, but not by much. You are most welcome to make contact and pop along one day if you want. Where in Norfolk are you based @BobbyH?

Another good ole Norfolk boy here. Welcome.

Try this one.

But wait!!! Elegoo have just announced the "Centauri Carbon." The price will shock you, just £299 for a Bambu spec printer. No AMS but I gather it is coming. I am seriously tempted to get one or two and ditch one of my P1S https://uk.elegoo.com/products/centauri-carbon?srsltid=AfmBOopP8UV5a2TNeVsaGkSyQ-gWSW-L63bJvM_Hvm3XYzYzOMypHRa6 Release video.

Folland Gnat? Just a wild guess!

The LUA is basically the code that tells the module which protocol to use. Specific to the Tandem so not needed on the TX16S See the image for a sample of the code.

Lite ply is fine for ribs and the like. Indeed many of my models like the "Flair" range use them to good effect. Firewalls always from good quality birch ply. For a model of that size personally I would use 1/4 inch.

There was also a new "multi" LUA released in the last few hours. You could try replacing that. Github link Also attached here. main.lua

And look, the windsock was broken.🤣

Brilliant fun👍

A couple more for your consideration. bnbox.pdf fieldbox.pdf KevF

But you could take my money now!!!

And here is another I did a few weeks ago. KevF

Not sure what went wrong there. Did Have a double post and made a few edits. Maybe I did a FUBAR! So here are the images. KevF

I got to thinking a while ago about how I could use my 3D printer to improve my workshop storage. My XICOY scales have been languishing in a cardboard box since I last used them. As they are not an inconsiderable investment they deserve better. Now my CAD skills are basic to say the least. So using Tinkercad I came up with a tray which was easy enough to do with a few negative parts for the objects. The result is this. Holes for the 3 main scales and a square for the screen. The next version will have the base of the screen hole raised up a few MM to match the height of the scales. With all the bits in place it is surprisingly compact. So where to store them? I found a "parametric" file for a box on Makerworld and adjusted to suit. I used some foam to ensure the parts remained safe and sound. If you are interested my file can be downloaded here.

And I shall bring my camera!

I did this to a Mini Blitz! As yet unflown!! Hornet AP09 up front.

Not so. There are a few models that you can upload to the V2.

Everything you need is on their website. Both V2 and V3 are covered. https://www.fmshobby.com/products/fms-reflex-v3-stable-flight-controller You are looking for a program called Fms param v3 but I cant find it either. I will see if i have a backuop copy.
