    If you have lipos for an airframe, can you sell them along with the model? What’s the best option for keeping everything together so nothing gets mislaid? Got a couple of foamies to get rid of. Cheers Simon

    I had this once, I'm sure it was a warning for something. I'd have to look through some instructions but I remember something about having to re-learn the throttle curve before it went away. It didn't effect the ESC, but was a bit annoying. I honestly can't remember how I cause the problem in the first place. Was a YEP esc. Simon

    From memory I was towards the rear of that range on mine. It doesn't take much to rip that front former out on a dual ace. One bad landing on the nose wheel and she will be out. It is not strong enough to stay in place if the t-nuts were pulled through. Simon

    I had my Dual Ace for 10 years and sold it a few months ago (wish I hadn't). Had hours of fun over the years and always drew attention when it was flown. Only mods I made were to double up that front former so you have more glue area with the surrounding wood. Mine was 1/4 ply from memory. If you have a landing on the nose wheel, it will easily rip out and make a mess. Not essential, but for longevity I'd do it before you stuff the nose with batteries. Also, do your instructions look modified with regard to the cg position (like someone has modded the text) , because it was wrong on the original instructions. Great plane. Regards, Simon

    Have you doubled up that front former? Simon

    Need a test builder Tony? Can’t wait to see those down the field. Simon

    I don't think I would want mine for printing a model or anything large. It would be good to make my own brackets and clips for the jets rather than buying someone else's printed parts or using wood (not better than would, just a bit more fun modelling in 3D etc). Looking at Gearbest etc, it doesn't seem any cheaper than buying from a UK ebay vendor. I also looked at the A6, but at the moment it is a fair bit more money and i really don't want to invest too much into it. Simon

    Are these 3D printers still considered the best "cheap" option? I want to make a few brackets and things, nothing particularly big. Can anyone recommend the best place to buy as there seems a lot of very similar options. Regards, Simon

    What I always found interesting in my 30+ years of flying is that I’ve never seen one particular brand of tx be sent back for repair by so many club members. Great post and interesting comments but would love to hear why you think Futaba are so far behind the curve? The one thing my Futaba is very good at is talking to the model, sadly one thing my DX8 wasn’t good at even after being returned 3 times. I don’t use a lot of Horizon stuff but I hope they get it sorted out as I know their products bring a lot people into th3 hobby. Simon

    Li-po are Lithium polymer, not Lithium Ion or Li-Fe. Li-Fe packs are not as volatile (plenty of videos of people trying to get them to explode like Lipo's on YouTube). Different chemistry and voltage per cell. Simon

    Should probably get on with the other wing but couldn't resist added some colour. Was going for the split translucent with the green but didn't like it so wings will be solid green with a bit of trim. Simon

    This is what my Grumpy Tiger Cub looked like before it got relegated to the top of the building cupboard. As soon as I've got my glider built it's going to be finished off. I have a Scorpion Twin kit which must be 15 years old to start as well as an Extra Slim twin. All this talk of twins has made me put an rx back in the Dual Ace and buy some glow fuel. Hopefully she will fly at the weekend. Had so much fun flying her over the past 8 years but I don't think she saw daylight last year (distracted by the smell of jet fuel!!). Simon

    Got wing tip glued on tonight. Need to start other wing now. Might cover first wing at the weekend as it's my favourite part of the build. Going bright green and translucent purple. Simon
