terrible way to treat a rare Dornier! Thats my opinion. Oily

Nutz is now a keen motorcyclist when he is not at work driving a train. I am in touch with him daily on Face Book. He, and his Family are well. That is all, TTFn Oily

I have too many Wot 4's in my hanger at the moment, so am selling a couple if anyone interested. This is a Ripmax artf version, is fitted with a SC 40 motor and Futaba radio gear. Supplied with A Futaba Challenger 6 radio, and the futaba charger. The model was last flown in September at Old Warden, and is a well balanced model to fly. The model has had repairs to the airframe, but has been flown rigorously to test the structure. So, ready to fly model with TX and charger asking £125.00. I have some pictures, but they are too big to fit on this forum, but can e-mail to

I use an 11 X 7 prop on the 52's that I use, but rarely go full throttle because a) its not necessary and b) a lot of db can be generated because of prop tip speed. A 12 X 6 is ok, but will take time to slow down when u want to be at tickover for landing. Hope that helps? Oily

Thanks Lofty, pencilled in! Oily

Might give it a go on my new laptop Dave, that is, once i've figured out how to work it, and once i've figured out the stuff that Geoff has passed over to me for the Phoenix (he's a good lad TTFn, Oily

Thanks for your time and concerns fella's, Geof L has kindly passed me a complete set of Phoenix "on loan". I just need to solder up an adaptor lead to fit the Din plug and we should be all set. Thanks again all, Oily

The TX I have for the grandsons to use is a "short range" Futaba sport 6 with a 5 pin din socket for trainer lead. When this drops on the floor, I dont mind too much! Bit worried about Martins comment re copyright, I bought the Phoenix from Avicraft many years ago, and the lead i described came with the new disc. My description may not be 100% accurate, but thats what I remember. I think my lead was mislaid at "Fight nite" at the portcullis club a couple of years ago, I was rather hoping my lead might re-surface. Never mind. Geoff has kindly offered to let me use his lead, but it h

The lead for my Phoenix simulator has been mislaid and I need a replacement. Can anyone help? The lead I had had a 5 pin din plug on a black lead leading to a black box. Into this was a grey lead with a 3.5 jack on one end and a usb plug on the other. Please mssg me if you have anything like that, or can point me in the right direction, thank you. Oily

The bin bags are to take the models home afterwards! Oily

It will have to wire or carbon fibre Martin, as will be for competition use. Thanks for the offer though Oily

I'm doing a rebuild project which is advancing quite well, but a good Mk3 wot-4 wing would save me building something from scratch, and an undercarriage would help a lot. If there is anything out there, please get in touch Thank you, Oily

Brilliant! Must book in for next year!! Oily

Another reason to vote "Out".

Happy Days!

would someone be good enough to let Ben know (or his Dad) that Martin has a free plane for him if he wants it. Please see post on the forum. If he does not want it, Trev has 2nd dibs Thanks, Oily

Thanks Fella,s. I will try to get a message to Ben somehow

Gentlemen, Please remember that Flying R/C on Tuesday 18th August has been suspended by the Committee on grounds of safety. This is due to a mass take off of WW2 Warbirds from Biggin Hill at around noon/1pm.. Most likely there will be various comings and goings during the day, might be worth taking a picnic to view same from the field. Thankyou, Chairman.

our new youngster "Ben" is it, has no plane of his own yet. He seems to be quite proficient at flying and would probably be glad of a model of his own. Just thinking out loud, and ET said he was up for it first! :- Oily )

Glad you made it Ben. It looked like you were having a good time (and Dad!) The information on the Website re the meeting place for club nights has just been changed by the Committee. From now on, club nights will no longer be at the Portcullis club on Kenley. The new venue for club nights will be; The Post Office Sports and Social club, Trenham Drive, Warlingham, Surrey. CR6 9RU Last Thursday of the month, unless otherwise advised, 7.30pm - 10.30pm. Please ask if any further information is required. TTFn Oily

Welcome David, look forward to meeting you again I used to always be flying at Croydon in those days! Oily

I,ll ask around some of the senior menbers to see if there is any recall. Welcome to the club btw, I hope you have a lot of fun. TTFn, Oily

Hi David, did your Dad live up Beddington Lane? Oily
