Frank Day Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Many generic XT60 and EC3 connectors fit together perfectly safely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leccyflyer Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 ..and as widely reported, some appear to fit together perfectly safely, but it's really only the plastic bits that are fitting together properly, whilst the important metal parts are flapping around like throwing a sausage up O'Connell Street 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aidan mcatamney Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Great stuff Toto and all went well at the wedding. As the old saying goes, "Alls well that ends well."

I have several and can confirm the non-flappyness of the metal parts Edited July 1 by Frank Day insanity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toto Posted July 1 Author Share Posted July 1 On holiday .... the field I planned to trial the Aeroscout is being set up for the local highland games..... ... I'm on the lookout for other potential sites now. Never mind ...... at least I have the company of John Smith ..... im getting a signal by using my phone as a hotspot connection but it's very dodgy.

toto Posted July 6 Author Share Posted July 6 That looks nuts. I want a shot of that .... They remind me of the midges I've just left behind on my holidays. .... Back home and looking forward to getting into the shed for a wee while. I have my graphics for my Freewing PJ50 from Callie Graphics. They arrived by post whilst I was away. These were originally intended for the Freewing AL 37 but it makes much more sense for the PJ50. I'll get some photos up later. Great to be back. I hope you have all had some great stick time in.

toto Posted July 6 Author Share Posted July 6 (edited) So, Here We are, My Private Jet Graphics, the mystery is over ..... Based on my own Ltd Company graphics ..... and ..... I'll maybe take the model back out of the box in order to see if its a good fit. That's for later Toto Edited July 6 by toto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leccyflyer Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 😮 Toto - did you check the proofs? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toto Posted July 6 Author Share Posted July 6 Just noticed the mis- spelling in Commercial. The correct spelling was supplied on my business card. I expect they will make good. I'll contact Callie Graphics by email later. Just noticed it myself. Toto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toto Posted July 6 Author Share Posted July 6 I could " cut and shut " the transfer but would rather do without the complication and the risk that I don't get the alignment correct. Seems a bit harsh requesting another set though....... what's your thoughts ..... they do look good otherwise. I will be sending away .... in time .... for decals for my AL 37 passenger jet ..... and without giving too much away .... a slight blunder like this would not have been so critical. I'll keep that under my hat for now but all will become apparent ... along with a further glimpse of my sense of humour. .... more about that later.

GrumpyGnome Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 It's not at all harsh to request that they provide the goods you paid for....... unless, of course, it's not their fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toto Posted July 7 Author Share Posted July 7 Fair enough. My business card was photographed and included in the email so the correct spelling was provided. Just unfortunate I think. These things can happen. I'll do an email. Toto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toto Posted July 8 Author Share Posted July 8 so ..... hit the shed tonight to undertake a couple of wee jobs ....... the Supercub needed a circlip to refix one of the main landing wheels back on which had came off in its last flight about a fortnight ago. and on it goes ..... from my own private stock ..... 😄 forgot to add that I had to put a couple of washers behind the wheel ....... Then moved on to the FMS Beaver which needed a new spinner ....... the last one broke as the model lurched forward off the model stand when I was testing the throttle. nice new shinny one now installed ....... job done ..... and thats all for now. toto 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyGnome Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 @totoremove the prop when doing anything that may cause the throttle to be live..... this time it was just a broken spinner but leccy motirs can bite badly! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
