Bucksboy Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 I’ve just entered my tracking number into the Parcel Force tracker and it says ‘We have no tracks for your parcel yet, the status will be updated in due course’. How can their system be so bad? One person gets theirs delivered and yet my parcel isn’t even recognised? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Cracknell Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 The tracking info I got from RM for a parcel (not a kit) was 'Tracking information is not available until we attempt delivery' What use is that...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try just double clicking on the tracking number rather than copying in to their tracking system, works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICHARD WILLS Posted May 8 Author Share Posted May 8 The tracking can be fickle , but keep in mind that Phill the kit cutter is doing ten or so at a time with careful consideration to the requirements of each order . Booking them all on line and labelling is also a time consuming job . More going out today , and tomorrow . I will put tracking details up as I get them . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpyGnome Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Mine's at York, waiting for the delivery pony, and for a delivery man to gird his loins ready for the traffic that will be 80% caravans, motorhomes, or motorcycles.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Bird Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Have mine now, very pleased. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucksboy Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 I've been tracking Sebastian from Parcel Force all day as he drove around in his van. At 2.30 pm I looked again to see the delivery window was between 14:35 and 15:35 so it wasn't long to go. Six minutes later it had changed to '14:21 delivery attempted, unable to locate premises'. Needless to say no Parcel Force vehicle has been down my dead end street, I was outside fiddling with my car. If you search my postcode it comes up with my street with 25 houses in it. Sebastian probably fancied an early day, let's hope he tries harder tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leccyflyer Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 My Tempest kit landed today, many thanks to Richard and the gang. Do you have any details of the supplied motor, which looks like a nice unit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they are made of metal , wires and some magnets then painted red 😛 Edited May 9 by RICHARD WILLS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyer Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Thanks to the Richard and the lads. I've been told by SWMBO that I have a large box waiting........... Quick trip to Morrisons on way home for flowers and choccys should suffice for now. Cheers Ade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RICHARD WILLS Posted May 9 Author Share Posted May 9 2 hours ago, leccyflyer said: Recommended prop? Max current rating? Well, it says max load 48Amps and 890watts . But it also says 3-7 cells and recommends an 11x5 prop . On what cells I would ask ? So lets put all that B/S to one side and go with my experience of these motors . On 4s the starting point will be a 12x6 . That ties up with the maths . roughly 15v x 800kV = 1200revs . Knock off a bit for losses and say 10000 on a 12x6 . That is OS52FS performance . Perfect for our 54" fighters . They go like the clappers and Ive never had a bad one . Some people will sell you the same thing in another colour for £44. The only tiny snag with these motors , is not the motors at all . But in fact, the machined X mount, which has arms about 3mm too short . Not a massive problem and Eric and I discussed fixes on the 190 thread . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
