Glad to see you flying a Tiger Shark again Joe - nice landing btw!

You know, even after I totalled Jo's lovely Tiger Shark (See me in the previous pic with the remains), he still says I can have a go on the new one! That's what makes flying with my mates in the Croydon Airport Model Flying Club the best. Cheers Jo!

Ooops... Sorry mate

True - great write-up for a great show. Glad to see he was impressed by the continual flying and appreciated the consistency of the slots etc.! We must be doing it right

You can use a multi blade prop on anything within reason darren.. There's a DC3 in Avicraft right now with OS52s and 3 bladers. I had 3 bladers on my Irvine39s on the twin too. You just have to reduce the pitch or diameter by some factor that I forget. I'll look into it.

Interesting. Neil Tidy says that Lasers don't need tank pressure of course, but most other manufacturers normally advocate it. I was interested that the OS pumper had no pressure nipple - obvious why really Well now I have to decide whether to use the OS91 pump or the laser 100 in the upcoming spit - spoilt for choice I guess - but that's a nice situation to be in isn't it!

Don - thanks so far for all your posts - its great to have such talent (still) in the club. A question for you regarding your choice of engines. I notice you have a pumped OS120 in the SE5A - what advantages does the pump give? I have just bought an OS91 with a pump cos it was cheap on eBay, and am wondering whether to use that or a laser 100 in my upcoming 1/7th spitfire... Jimbo

Hi all - well the Gods have finally smiled on me, and I can now log in to my own account. So may I take this opportunity to welcome everyone to the CAMFC scale forum. Thanks to those who have already contributed, especially Mr Don Coe, member #1, whose talk at the recent club night was appreciated by all present, and his continued input gratefully received. Keep those posts coming, regarding all matters scale - whether building, be it scratch, kit or even ARTF, or flying in a scale manner. THIS IS THE CAMFC SCALE forum - enjoy!
