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.

Another and probably better resource. https://www.rc-thoughts.com/phoenix-sim/

A well used, but in fair condition Flair Cub. The model is covered in Solartex, but could do with recovering. The engine turns freely and provides plenty of power for this. The engine in the pictures is not the one included. The engine bearers look like a swiss cheese as this was my go to for testing new engines. Almost ready to fly just add receiver and battery pack, after a close inspection of course. Collection only from South Norfolk. I will be listing a few other models over the next week or so.

A nicely built Flair Legionaire with an OS48FS engine in good condition. Fitted with a remote glow. The exhaust is fully enclosed utilising a 90 degree exhaust bend and a silicone expansion chamber. The original exhaust has long since gone. The bearings are good but would benefit from being checked as the model has sat for a couple of years. Covered in Silver Solartex as all good Flair models should. The pilot is a Flair "Albert" I believe. The markings are vinyl adhesive and are completely fake! Almost ready to fly just add receiver and battery pack, after a close inspection of course. Collection only from South Norfolk. I will be listing a few other models over the next week or so.

A Flair Pup in fair condition, just not the prettiest paint job! The cowl is uncut other than for a remote glow and remote fuel fill. The exhaust is on a 90 degree bend and is completely enclosed. Covered in Solartex and painted (badly) using WBC colours paint. The ASP is very low run time and turns over freely. The model is fitted with a tail wheel to aid grass field handling, but could be easily put back to a skid. Ready to fly less Rx and battery, although I would give it a good once over before flying. Collection only from South Norfolk. I will be listing a few other models over the next week or so.

Could be this one.

Me likee, me likee a lot. Superb work. Well done on the maiden.

Also on my Radar. Started with his Delta and then the Skyray. Both 50mm and both flew very well. Let us know how the Draken goes. Kev

Flew over my house (well close by) this afternoon.

I have a couple of his designs built and flown. I also did a short write up for our clubs website. https://bmfc.bmfa.club/kevin-fairgrieve-how-to-3d-print-a-flying-model

PM sent.

I only have the one old style hub, but it is fully loaded, so for me yes please.

Excellent. I have a couple of BNIB S6R that I can put to good use.

My 3D skills only run to basic components, nothing too fancy. The files for this model cost a paltry £10.22 from Cults. https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadget/f4d-skyray-50mm-edf-jet My slicer of choice is Orca slicer or Bambu Studio, my printer is a Bambu P1S. This model was designed to use a single wall structure which would account for the "flimsy" feel. I generally tend to run 2 walls for most components only using single walls where weight saving would be an advantage. My EDF of choice was smaller than the model was designed for so a shroud was printed for it. Standard PLA weighed in at 14.2g the LW PLA only 6.5g. Even with the extra weight I will have a better than 1:1 thrust on this.
