Sorry should have said the glue does go of quicker with the heat

Good Afternoon all Started building an electric Tracer E and it came to time to cover the wings in 1/16 balsa thinking last time I did this was to cover the balsa sheet in model magazines to follow the curve and wait for glue to dry . Decided today to try time saving idea I applied the aliphatic glue where required and put a wheat bag in microwave for two minutes and applied to the sheeting and within 30 mins was able to remove all set. Did cover joints with paper to stop glue getting onto pads Job done time for coffee break

Thanks for the update was I the first in see the new pages when there was nothing in there to sell

Well that's me out of searching for bargains I see I need to be a BMFA member to read them

I ventured to our flying strip yesterday, little blustery at home but even worse at the strip, Out with Electric Wot 4 but that was not working correctly only half elevator working ( I Have it on two small servos at rear ) Quick look inside to wiring all okay put it a way and try a Tracer e all tested and ready to go, out in the strip holding the model you think shall I well your here now power up and away we go. Being a little light it was being thrown around but quick reactions and settling down we controlled it not wanting to push it better come in So round we come into land nearly there and a gust lifts the wing and Black Bag require. At home I check the Wot 4 and find on the wrong model in the TX that saved that also find Sarick have a reduced price on my Tracer E So a good and bad day I think Happy flying to all when the weather gets better

Hi Graham I had a similar problem with a Ff6 and turned out to be the pot in the tx stick . Maybe be a thought to try Mike ?? at radio model repair shop and have a through check over or like you say a new one Good luck with a search just had a thought how about Radiomaster system talked about on this forum

Alternative new carb

If I remember correctly the screw size is M3 maybe try the screws used to fix switches and sockets at M3.5 if enough metal available

I have regularly fitted the SLEC fusalage transfer linkage for elevator it gives me a nice solid rod inside the fuselage and neat linkage out side with plenty of adjustment if needed

Hi Jonathan there my be two types of battery one for light use in alarm systems and one for power tools just seen these on Amazon around £19 and suitable for drills

Is it possible to have the volt meter on while using stater and the on a motor if it drops badly yes time for a new one. Alternative is an an old Lipo

Hello EGB. Do not leave the wing partly covered as pictured as the film will start to warp the wing over next few days replying from experience

I can confirm all my 46 AX. Mark 1 & 2 ran excellent ly on Laser 5% tick over through to full power no problems

Just like to confirm on the Hitec systems it is channel 1 and 5 for two aileron servo wing set up

Have you set up the Tx for two servo control channel 1 and 5

I can reccomended the hot skewerd option it melts the hole bigger than the skewer so servo plug does go in easier

Minor apologies if saying earlier Wot 4 tail that was the idea but the tail is from a Probuild Bullet

Thank you for your responses. I have built and flown a spad model many years ago So this is my attempt at filling time in for now

Hi all I appreciate its nearer Xmas but anybody heard of the April Fool model Built from square plastic down pipe and bit of aluminium boom for fusalage and proper wing and tail section from a Wot 4 ?

Hi Tim. My experience with life cells was disappointing as well. My problem was two cell in a Hitec flash 8 tx. I would charge as required,. go on a part days flying and by end day were flat. A second set did not give me any extended flying time So I avoid them

BE QUICK one for sale on the BMFA pages

Hi EGB my suggestion would be to dampen the spar and then pin or weight down in straight line and let dry overnight in the house to take most of the bend out

Maybe one of the formunites with a printer may offer to make some for you at a cost ?

Hi Julian the only SAFE way to discharge a LIPO Battery to a safe storage level is with discharge selected on a Lipo charger Opting for a 12 volt bulb to discharge a battery is to take it down to 0 volts for Disposal even then this has to be watched from a distance incase the battery wants to self destruct its self
