you will have to copy and paste the img link given to see lol

Don't know it, got a picture?? something like this: [/img] making an rc version of that will be original

if you want something original, why dont you try the helicopter form starship troopers lol

ive already managed to remove some of the covering that had oil over it, the wood below is clean, very clean, the engine bay isnt too bad either, managed to clean some grease off to find it almost perfectly clean underneath. I got some metallic green kwik cote and some light blue to recover it with so it should look good when its done, ill see if i can poste a pic of it when its all done and if i can a before pic (taken later on today) and see what u all think of the work done.

also theres a local farmer thas letting me use 1 of his fields to train myself in as the local club is just to far for me atm, you definately need a car to get to any of there club meets and fields

i aint sure what the covering is but tried peeling it as some of it is loose and only the top film is coming off mostly, not leaving any gleu/adhesive on the wood at all, i dont know if i can stick the new film over the top but it all creased, torn and looks horrible. i aint too sure about the model of the plane, all i know is that its called hi boy precedent trainer. if i could just fit the new film over the old 1 after taking the creases out i would in a heart beat, but i honestly didnt think i could.

hi again, instead of buying a simulator, ive just bought a precendent trainer that needs recovering, i really need help with this so advice is definately needed, but i did buy the model for £10 and its a size 40 so i couldnt resist. ive started to take the covering off but ive hit a dead end with it as i would like to know the best way of getting the old covering off or if it would be worth me asking around if someone more experienced could do it for me but i would like to give it a go myself tbh. if someone could give a step by step way of doing it, i would appreciate it all. thanx

yh thas a big mistake and a massive learning curve for me, i intend on getting a simulator before i get another plane (decided on the tutor 40 mk2), and im thinking about using a failsafe but i dont have a clue how they work with planes. also ill be getting a futaba 2.4ghz transmitter aswell

hi all, longtime no speak, if you all remember my old plane, the sunbeam, well as it turned out, upon take off and after all preps were done, it rolled stalled and crashed with only the electrics and engine salvagable and was found to be a build fault. So i went out and bought a second hand irvine tutor 40 mk1 with everything except radio and reciever, got that flying beautifully and half way through an almost perfect flight, i recieve a phone call, loose concentration and next thing, the whole front end is completely destroyed from a 50ft free fall to the ground, once again with only the

pete, it depends on the problem but i fix computers myself

hi all, i was wondering if anyone thought of or even just considered of building a seaplane from world war 2. more specifically a martin mars seaplane. as what im going to be doing is building 1 from scratch using plywood for the struts and basic structure with and sheeting with either ply or another hard wood and the fibre glassing the whole fuselage. heres a picture of it: heres the actual measurements of the real plane: wing span: 200ft wing width: 18.43ft wing area: 3686ft2 plane length: 117.3ft plane height: 38.5ft and heres the measurements of the fi

well it seemed like the needle was blocked as i couldnt fully close it, got that free and i can here air coming throung the carb although its more of a gust than a hiss tbh. The glow plug works fully, ive now put the glow ignitor on charge tho, ready for tomorrow. No ur quite right i dont have a starter yet, thas/next on my list, i plan on buying that when i buy a kit to build (thinking panic bi-plane kit), but i will be paying for my insurance before that (this wednesday).

can anyone figure this 1 out, the engine is blowing the fuel back into the tank rather than sucking it up. I dont think the carb is blocked even though the fuel pools in the carb and spits out the fuel if i turn the prop in the opposite direction. it does try to start but i dont think i can flick the prop quick enough for it to kick into life, i do have a nice battle scar where i tried to start it lol.

oh ok thanx dan, i done that last night and today im hoping to start it around 1. i cant start it in doors because of my son and becoz i live in a block of flats with ederly residents so id rather not disturb them

hi all, i was just wondering if i can use wd40 to loosen the prop shaft if it stiff due to the engine not being run for a fairly long time
