Check out Techmoan on "You Tube' he reviews lots of these small dvd cameras, maybe this has been on his list. It does look very similar to one I have had lots of success with, although the case is different. sparks

Vic Smeed Coquette Build.

Did the Coquette ever get finished Jim? sparks -
I heard the very sad news of the loss of our friend Big Bandit Chris' but have only just seen this thread as I've been away from the forum for a while. I didn't get the chance to meet him, but we had lots of correspondence on our various builds in the past year or so. I had been following his Matador build was shocked to hear that he has gone. I know we all miss him, but surely not as much as his family and loved ones, my heart and deepest condolencies go out to them. sparks

Hey Tim, I think the Courier looks as good in the air as she does sitting on the grass before the flight. A wonderfully built and finshed model of a great little aircraft. Hats off to you! sparks

I know just what you mean Peter, its down to 27C here midday, and the weekend low is forecast for 13degrees Cee! Darn near cracking the flags with frost! I had to put on a pullover while camping in the dunes last weekend. Anyway, enough of my woes, lets have some progress snaps Tim! sparks

Beechams Dan...Tim's got MAN-Flu, somebody better call an ambulance and get the emergency crash team on notice! It's serious!lolsparks

Whilst Doug makes a, no doubt correct, observation of what most people do, I do think your proposed tests have value. At least we will all know the truth about these batteries in certain sets of circumstances.I'm looking forward to seeing your results Lee.sparks

Posted by kc on 07/12/2010 11:07:13: Invite all your aeromodelling friends round to ' see your fantastic new model '.......just when you need a few extra hands to help with some DIY task. KC has the right idea ...many hands make light work...however, once you have fixed the light I can't help you mate sparks

Glider pilots may use this feature also I believe to slow prop rotation prior to folding. David beat me to it!Edited By sparks59 on 07/12/2010 11:35:14

Hey Alan, Sounds like you are still busy! Keep at it, you will get there I toyed with the idea of installing ailerons, but thought the better of it as I like the look of the dihedral wing. I did, however, reduce the dihedral by a small amount from the original free flight plan. Actually, the Pops' flies really well and with a bit of care on the rudder and elevator can turn as tight as you like without ailerons so I don't think ailerons would give you any significant benefit in flight. It's no aerobat of course, but will barrel roll in its own bloaty way, even ailerons aren't going to make it a 3D plane Anyway, it's your plane so you can build it however you like! Variety is the spice of life and all that .. sparks

Posted by Tim Hooper on 06/12/2010 18:25:07: Hey Sparks! Would you believe that I've got two Popsie kits on order? tim Good for you....though it seems you have enough on your plate at the moment I'm already looking forward to more of your great build logs! sparks

What a really wonderful job you are making of this model Tim! I can hardly wait to see the finished article, and read the flight report! sparks
