  1.   Now then one thing I have to mention is if anyone is thinking of this be warned the retracts are produced uniquely for this model Robart manufacture them and they will set you back over £400 for the full set up.  
  2.   I thought long and hard about the power plant Topflite recommend 40cc-70cc petrol or same power glow, I really fancied a radial but the budget would not stretch that far so a 65cc RCGK from Al's hobbies was ordered. The 50cc RCGK used in my Corsair has proved reliable to date so at £170 its worth a risk I purchased a Pitts muffler for a further £50 and all arrived in two days. The spec is; Bore: 48mm Capacity: 65cc Carburettor: Walbro Engine Type: 2-Stroke Petrol Engine Max. HP: 5.5hp/4.1KW Propeller Range: 22x10, 21x10, 22x12 (2 blade) RPM Range: 1500-8200 RPM Stroke: 36mm Weight: 1835g/2097g (Exc/Inc Ignition + Muffler)  
  3.   First of all a very happy new year to all. I am normally well on with the winter build buy this time but her indoors demanded the conservatory for xmas parties and I could not face to pack up once started, the garage is far to cold for my old bones so the instruction book for this kit has been read numerous times before the balsa was touched. Here is what it should look like when finished   This is the bubble canopy version I intend to build the razor back more on that later.  
  4. Can any wiz help please, I have changed my electric set up on my 1/4 scale cub. Instead of NIMH I have installed a Li-Po and Ubec system. I am concerned that the Ubec is capable handling the current. Its rated 5amps with 7amp burst. The trouble is how do I access how much current the servos are pulling under load,
  5. AND THE WINNER IS--------------------------------------   Plasticard   The drinks bottle thing is to small thanks guys I should have mentioned its 1/4 scale.   I was impressed with the plasticard its cheap and comes in all thickness and sizes plus you can use a product called milliput an epoxy based putty various colours to putty in the windows, fantastic   You never stop learning.
