This is my first forum reply and it was not written directly into the ‘Post a reply’, box.   What I have done is to create a ‘Word’ document (or the ‘Pages’ equivalent for Apple computers) and when it was complete, and making sure that I first ‘saved’ it! - I copied it and pasted it into the ‘Post a reply‘ box.   The benefits of posting a reply in this way are: 1. It can be prepared off-line and thereby avoid wasting broadband time      whilst composing it or undertaking research ie the Modelflying website can be closed    until the document is ready for posting.   2. The reply can be prepared and edited at leisure. 3. The *30 minutes time-out becomes redundant. 4. Photographs/graphics can be included. 5. The document can be retrieved with ease without having to open the Modelflying             website - again saving broadband time.   6.  Editing can be carried out if necessary after the document has been pasted into the       'Post a reply' box (*but this must be undertaken within the 30minutes time-out)     Edited By David Sutherland on 23/07/2010 09:42:48 Edited By David Sutherland on 23/07/2010 09:44:11 Edited By David Sutherland on 23/07/2010 09:45:00

1.  Mode 2, with thumbs only on the sticks.   2, 3 and 4 - Kent/self-taught with simulator.    

Zephyr

1.  DeHavilland Beaver - something 'chunky' with a sturdy undercarriage that will take off from my awful local grass field.   2.  Polikarpov 1-16.  Wonderful WWll Russian open cockpit fighter - there are numerous exciting colour schemes in Scale Aviation Modeller International - Vol12 issue September 2006 or Google 'Polikarpov 1-16 images'.   3.  Junkers W34fi  - see the second photo on  http://www.geocities.com/hjunkers/ju_w33_a1.htm    - so full of character.   48'' or so, span.  Each for electric power, please. Detachable wings would be a bonus.
