Steve Colman Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Done deal! The Tangent Kult Elektro as I posted on page 200 is soon to be mine for only 400 euros for the model + flight battery. I'm very happy to say the least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leccyflyer Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Couple of new model maidens this weekend. Firstly the lovely twin pusher Avro Vulcan, which was a surprise gift from my pal Jim last Monday and which had a couple of very enjoyable flights at the weekend - super stable but still aerobatic and lands like a dream the Vulcan is already a favourite. My pal Steve snapped some piccies of the Vulcan in action, showing the fully predicable dip after a perfect hand launch by Bob and steady climb out, plus the unique camo scheme - she does desert missions at low level, inverted you know.... thanks Steve. 🙂 Then today my Warbirds Replicas FW190 Black 13, which is pictured in other threads - I'll pop up some flying pictures in the coming days. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Day Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 New to me, collecting at the weekend. I think it was ARTF 71" /1800mm, wings are two part and detach for transport, no flaps. If someone can ID it that would be useful 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leccyflyer Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 (edited) Could be a World Models J3 Cub 48 - they used that serial number, but WM usually have their logo on there somewhere. https://www.theworldmodels.com/store/?action=productDetail&id=25 The dummy engine cylinders look like their rendition.

Cliff Bastow Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Picked this up last week. I think it’s a Tony Nijhus kit. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim C Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 That’s useful info on the Cub, I was given an old one with 40ic engine, I have stripped it as it needed some minor repairs and will recover and electrify. Old covering was a solar film type which has been horrendous to remove! Yet to fly but previous owner said it flew well on the 40ic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very handy as mine is missing the alloy wing tubes, the manual in the link actually has the measurements for them, rather than just images and arrows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Colman Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Maidened my newly acquired Tangent Kult yesterday which cost me only 5 quid more than a MPX Heron RR and included 2 flight batteries. Flies like a dream and I'm super happy with it. 😁 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Bullit Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Flyfans 6S L39 maidened today. Flies fantastically. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Chaddock Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Not exactly new but a Swiss Venom severely rebuilt. From this 9 days ago. To this as of today. Amazingly none of the electrics or even the battery in the nose needed replacing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliff Bastow Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Thanks for that Paul, do you have experience of them? If so do you know cg position and control throws at all? There are two marks under the wing which might indicate cg position but would be nice to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wagg Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Durafly "Slow Poke", and thankfully it does fly slow. I'm returning after a good many years of not flying so I need something to hone back the skills. Maidened yesterday but initially very twitchy on both ailerons and elevator and had to dial in loads of rates down to 30%. The model initially comes with the linkage connections in outer holes on the servo arms and control horns. I have now altered the servo linkage connections a lot nearer the servo centre. There is no guidance in the instructions as to the amount of control surface movement. Plenty of videos on YouTube showing its capabilities and something to aim for. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Ryan Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 I picked up this beautiful beast a couple of weeks ago. I always wanted one but they were always to expensive but when a club mate offered this one at a great price I couldn't resist. Brand new but assembled. Never flown. I'm looking forward to getting it in the air 😃 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul De Tourtoulon Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 I have the smaller one with a Saito 120 in it, a great flyer, and easy to see in the air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Marsh Posted July 22 Author Share Posted July 22 Interesting story. A guy built this 40 plus years ago (Kit and engine was purchased in 1981. He built it, but never got flying also had a early Sanwa radio set. It was flown last weekend at Don Valley, the guy just wanted to see it fly, and decided that it needs to be passed on. I bought it and removed the radio gear - which he took back (It actually still was ok - new batteries and pass range test ok, just shows) Going to put new servos in - which I have and 2.4 or course. Only thing that wasn't finished off was a pilots scarf (which was in the box) and the water slid decals had not been applied - to my amazement they didn't crack and went on well with warm soapy water (fuel proof to be done...) 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Had a fly of that myself, nicely built model and friendly group of people that brought it. Now gone to a good home with Paul. 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Miller Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Nice model. I had one with my first, very early (first series) O.S FS60. Now that was a very long time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Ryan Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 It looks to be a slightly unusual setup. From the pics it looks as though it is 3 channel, no ailerons but it looks to have no dihedral. Wouldn't that make it very interesting to fly? It does look good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
