Due to pressure from club mates, yes I will be - £35 plus postage for the Depron, C/F spar and ply bits.

When will mine be ready then @Ron Gray?

Merry Christmas!!

[Old TX to 2.4 convertions]

Here is one I did a good few years ago.
 

 

And all the bits to do another one.


I had three of these TX back in the day. This is the last of them and my only remaining 35MHz system.

[Magnatilla Pilot ideas]

Otto Von Shnorkel.

3D printed many years ago for my Hannibal!! I see the file is no longer on Thingiverse.

 

Glad I downloaded a copy. I fancy a resin printed version to save weight.

 

 

[Forum members' new models: Let's see them.]

And mine behaved much better when going fast. 

 

First and only flight so far was on a 4S 2700mAh weighing 315grams. Tail heavy!!!

And to watch / encourage to do silly things!

I do not need much encouragement, and it usually comes from you @Ron Gray 🤣

What's your power setup?

Same as yours. It does not really need any more. Although I have thought about a 4S setup, the extra weight would probably be to much. Do let us know if you go down that route.

I have also used a few 3D printed parts on mine. Battery box, wing tip protectors and equipment bay cover.

25 AMP ESC

6x4 APC prop

2200 3s

Mobius camera mounted on the black plate in the nose.

I love my Teksumo.
 

 

 

 

Since rebuilt and flown again.

And unlike you I still have a boxed one the bench. Sitting next to its smaller brother the Bonsai.

They are a real fun model to fly.

Hi Peter,

 

Could you give any details on your picnic box. What temperature do you set this to. I'd be a bit concerned not to overheat the batteries in any way.

 

Cheers

Something like this would be a modern equivalent to what @Peter Jenkins is suggesting.

All change!!!!

I can hardly wait to get mine flying. My Red will complement your Green.

[In need of a wing bolt washer!!]

Much nicer with the resin printer

Oh yes. A vast improvement.

 

Even a good quality filament print does not come close.

 

[In need of a wing bolt washer!!]

I was in need of a wing bolt washer. Had non of the correct size, so I'll just 3D print it.

As it is just as quick to print 20 as it is 1, just use a little more resin.

Could have squeezed a few more on, but this will do me for a while.

[V761 protocol ?]

A good place to start would be the Github repository.

Royal Mail won't take lipo batteries unless contained within electronic equipment. Hobbyking will get a severe talking to when they're found out.

Mine were also delivered by the RM. I was a little surprised to say the least.

 

[Hobbyking coming back to the UK]

My order has arrived👍

[Hobbyking coming back to the UK]

My tracking order is now showing.

[Hobbyking coming back to the UK]

I deliberately placed an order for goods that were "in stock"

 

Order placed 28-10-2023

 

Had notification today 02-11-2023 that the goods have been dispatched. The tracking number is currently not showing though.

 

Good job as the plane I ordered the battery's for is also due to me tomorrow.

 

 

[Autumn's here, who's been flying?]

My pictures from "The Pilots Ball" are now on my flickr page.

The Pilots Ball.

 

 

 

A couple from the set.

[Hobbyking coming back to the UK]

Well I bit the bullet and placed a small order.

All items showing in stock.

 

Lets see.

[Autumn's here, who's been flying?]

Many hats.
 

[Gyros in fixed wing?]

I do not have a single plane with a Gyro (unless you count the tiny Eachine joby", that is all about to change though.

 

The X-Fly Eagle that I have on pre order has one, but I suspect that it will soon come out. I have 3 or 4 FrSky S6R S8R that were initially used and then had stabilization switched off. Same for EXPO, only recently have I started to experiment with it.

Many people in the club use them and why not, they are just not for me.
 

[LBT V2]

I have also used Engel in Germany for some FrSky stuff. They can also do the activation codes.
