And this charges things better HOW?? It's an application desperately looking for a use! Better that the design and money invested by the builder is spent making it safe and secure and robust. Oh, and I don't like it...........................

Go to a car battery shop and plead poverty, they should if you tell a good enough story go to their recycle pile with their load tester and find you one that can take the very low by comparison discharge a LiPo charger needs. Remember, a car starter motor on a cold morning might needs 100 amps discharge, you need FAR less and so a relative "dud" is OK!! I have just replaced (with another throwout off my own car!) a battery I was given six years ago. I bought a tiny electronic charger that stays on 24/7 and even conditions it at night when it senses the need, More recently though I have be

Yes. It's conventional to make noises with your mouth, and like flying a model plane, you do need to be in range...............................

I know you tree'd one plane but do you still have a power wing? AND, we need to talk, beyond what's practical to write!!

Not a Poll I can vote, in, as I like IC and electric equally, tending to electric when the weather is poor, IC when its good.

One push and back they go, quite normal, they are only located by the taper tangs and they only work once clamped together. As long as the nut is secure in the firewall when tightened and can't pull through, its OK.

or really ANY landing....................

Having claimed to have put over £1M into the rights to televise, you might think they'd bother to DO IT properly. The first transmission was a mess, esp. bearing in mind they were not showing it live. It was shown out of slot an hour later than any of the three (yes, THREE) times stated during the day. So, was it worth it? I'll hold comment, did anyone manage to see it?

Look at that list. How on earth do they expect one engine to cope with a 10x6 AND alternatively a 12x7?? There are all the other factors, noise, swinging space (undercart clearance), etc. so bIggest practical diameter, lowest practical pitch.

I would say for most of the events where speed is not required the lowest practical pitch in order to be able to twitch the throttle and blast a pulse of air across the surfaces without accelerating the plane unduly.

Have you not been buying aircraft parts? I bought two weeks ago three things from China at £8.53 each, because I knew they would rise with the dollar to pound issue - today they are £12.80. A plane I bought at £85 two months back is now more than £160. A week ago it was £126. It's not just started, its been happening for some time. It won't get better either, as when they realise that we will still buy (the only choice being not to since there is no other source), if the rate improves, THEY will revalue the products. I'm tracking a few key items that are likely to have a lo

To be fair pink is a good colour for visual sighting.............. unless that is you are flying photo reconn. missions at dusk.

Pink, Eh? That'll go down well with the tens of thousands of female modellers. For electric, never mind cooling scoops (cut plastic spoons are OK), it's the battery hatch that's needed as no way would I keep removing the wing.

Pricks ears up......................new scheme?? Picture anywhere you know of please?? The website is still showing the transparant purple/yellow that has been around for ages, but my Cougar does not have long to live being quite soft round the wing root and oil soaked tail now and I don't like the current scheme, so would be interested if different.............

Strange accents, must come from north of Watford......................... couldn't possibly be from a completely different country with completely different standards and rules, could they? After all, that would mislead, wouldn't it................. 1. For UK legality, one band of eight has to be completely discounted. 2. For UK legality, HALF the "Race Band" has to be discounted. 3. Then there are cross band frequencies that are far too closely spaced for simultaneous use with available and affordable equipment, certainly not what any UK hobbyist is likely to own. Example?

I have a large skein of it somewhere (which shows what care I put into it!) I really must fettle and try out the selection of FF I was bequeathed. It includes timed electric, diesel, CO2 (which I have no idea how to set up or charge!) and rubber. The main problem is that Dave K bless 'im used the same colours on all his planes, and its not obvious to out of comfort zone me which yellow wings and in some cases tailplanes go with which red Fus as several seem to fit each Fus!! The only one I have tried, a timed electric high wing cabin, I checked and rechecked the timer on to be what I

Something else for the legislators to worry about................

And then.........silence................. Did Ben 's model survive its carbonisation? Did carbon make him fly better than Ali M? Did he get a flyaway from the signal suppression? Is he still chasing the model across the fields? We may NEVER know.............................. Steve covered most of the reasons why not, but the fact that carbon gets brittle in the winter can be a killer to undercarriage!

Anybody else wince at where the guy was standing watching?

Yea, never ever underestimate the ability of humans in producing a more efficient way of killing other humans. They do look much better in "matching" paint. How about other "pairings" with UK build (at least in part). DC3 and Airbus A320? Tiger Moth and Sherwood Ranger ST? Lancaster and (well, what?)

Seems an expensive way to do it, but satellite time is vastly more.

You wimp out easy................... Answer is we do not know FOR SURE, but think it was a relay ship bouncing signals from the chase TV helicopters and motorcycles back to TV base in France.
