  1. Just warm water and LA`S totally awesome cleaner. This is the one I use. Takes two or three goes for about 9 minutes to clean a reasonably bad engine.
  2. I use an ultrasonic cleaner on mine. Just so happens I have one cooking right now.
  3. Mine has stalled and will probably not be finished. Wing built, Plan cowl and canopy all there. all the rest of the laser cut parts are there. Located in Norfolk. Make me an offer!!
  4. Two maidens last weekend. The Viper on 3s 2200, went OK, but not stella. Would not get away from an underarm throw, required two people, one as a launcher. 4s 1300 on order! And the Guppy flew for the first time. A couple of bits to sort. That long elevator rod need stiffening up a bit. Carbon rod on order. And canopy to fit once all linkages are set top neutral. It did need a bit of left in it.
  5. A Mobius on the nose of a Teksumo, can give some interesting results!!! Teksumo Ignore the date, time stamp!! And my case went weird and tacky, but it does come off!!
  6. I had two of them!! One glass Fuz and one built up. I hated them and they ended up on the bonfire! Bonfire I got them in a job lot, really got my fingers burnt, they flew awful and needed 3lb of lead in the nose to achieve the CofG all memories have been erased. I think I still have the retracts somewhere. Hope yours is better.
  7. Never gave JEN a thought. Thanks gents.
  8. Does any one have one? Can not find one this side of the pond, where you need a mortgage to buy one. £48.00 + £7.95 postage. behave. Have a few coins of the realm for one in good condition. Please PM me with whay you have. Thanks.
  9. Took this yesterday. No editing, nothing. Straight off the card!
  10. Have you tried yeggi? Close enough? You could scale it up/down or whatever. Hope that helps.
  11. Mine was done very similar. A bit more but not full length.
  12. Looks good. I have not flown either of mine for a good long while now.
  13. The three I converted were all to FrSky, Spektrum would be possible but not an easy task. Look here for some info. Lemon Conversion. A link to my one of my conversions. Conversion to FrSky Still looking for the Xtals though. I guess I will have to use the supplied CH70 Kev
  14. I built one a number of years ago. Left the TX in range test mode! I have another kit in my stash for my retirement. Easy enough to build as long as you have a kit or two under your belt. Follow the video instructions (you did get the video) and all will become clear. I also have it`s bigger brother the 90. My 60 was powered by an ASP52 two stroke. The replacement is earmarked for a 70FS. There are a few 90 builds on the site where some of the main info is explained. My Farmhand 90 Build Gary`s build The only two picture`s of mine.?
  15. I have a hankering for a complete retro set up, to include 35MHz radio gear. I acquired a Sanwa RD6000 Super with Rx from ebay for £10.00 posted to my door. My first computer radio was an RD6000 Super, indeed I converted three of them to 2.4. Now when I flew 35MHz back in the day my CH was 82. To make the nostalgia complete I would like to use 82 for this set up. So does any one have a set of Sanwa 82 Xtals going for a song? Thanks in advance . Kev
  16. Three times a year there takes place a friendly fly in at Tibenham, home of the Norfolk glider club. Arranged by Phil Goff, who`s article you will no doubt have read in the latest BMFA news! these events are purely for fun and of6ten attract some of the best models and pilots. I took along my trusty Hannibal and joined in the fun along with other members of the "Black Sheep Squadron" the aim of this is to commemorate our fallen comrades, many of whom you would have heard of. Not one for many words I will let the picture`s talk for me.
