Thanks Pat, just seen my little present.
did you have a fly while you were at field.

I wouldn’t mind trying the Graupner ones Pat. Not sure if I’ll get today but if you do have time to drop them off at hut you could stick them in a bag with a piece of paper in with name written on and pin to notice board. Get yourself a fly while there as already 4-5 at field.

Roughly measured the total prop assembly is 7” so as a sports model it’s probably running a 7x5 or 7x6.
a single blade from tip to mounting is 3”Baz

Managed to break one of the folding prop blades on my HobbyKing Super Kinetic while putting it away (Doh)
Had a look on HK website and a pack of blades is discontinued but you can get the whole prop assembly but only from global warehouse.
Thought about using a different prop but there isn't any markings on either blade to say what size/pitch they are.
Anyone got any information please or even have a spare blade I could buy????
Cheers Baz

Just two of us braved the conditions in Northumberland on Monday morning, both with 600 size helicopters. 0 degrees but with no wind at all you could actually feel the warmth from the sun the odd time it appeared from behind the clouds.

Ken also the American flag PC that I bought off you didn’t last too long as I didn’t close top hatch properly and it came off just after launching and went straight through prop resulting in mid air explosion 😂
Still have my PC Mk2

I had looked at a ripmax one but motor mount was different and it didn’t have the holes in wings to throw it.
Must have changed the design.

The wing has two rectangle holes all the way through near the centre, I’m guessing to hold model as throwing it.

Has anyone got actual flight experience with the Futaba R3106GF?
I’m reading conflicting descriptions online where a couple of shops describe this receiver as a park fly most don’t have anything in description. Got 2 and never thought about it until seen they only have 1 aerial. Wanting to use them in 50size models with full range.
thanks in advance.

To show the size difference, here's my finished Micro and part built Mini. The rear of wing is lined up with one another.

Since I completed my Micro Blitz a few days ago and haven’t managed to maiden it yet I thought I’d get straight on with building the Mini Blitz too
The build will be the same as the Micro using an extra rib to sandwich the fins in between. Next time I build either of these models I’m just going to make solid sheet wings as will save a lot of hassle and with brushless motors the extra weight will be cancelled out with loads of POWER

Finished my Micro Blitz tonight
she's ready for maiden
Running on 2s @ 40w so that works out about 100w per lb so should go ok.
Here's my install with 2s 450mah lipo

All covered now
I need to install the horns on to the elevons and tape them on and then I can connect the servo pushrods followed by gluing the servo cover on and I also still haven’t glued fins in.

As mentioned in previous post when I make the mini I’m going to use the stock motor from a radjet that I never used. Probablys with a 5x5 prop or their abouts on 3s 1300.
Ken can you remember the power figures from your radjet? I know you had standard motor on 3s but what prop and watts/amps did it produce?
