Piano / wing joining wire
Stuart Eggerton replied to Stuart Eggerton's topic in R/C Retailers / Distributors / Manufacturers
Hi Nick, thanks I checked and the 8mm drill bit fitted the brass tube perfectly:-). I hadn't thought about such a simple solution. I have found a good supplier. This will allow me to start making the spar for the Sagitta XC. I had used carbon before but had it shear in a hard landing. Thanks for everyone's comments and help, it's been much appreciated. -
Hi, I am going to be building the Sagitta XC glider this winter, it uses 11/32 brass tubes, joined with a metal wing joiner rod for the main wing joining method. Can anyone suggest a good manufacturer that can supply this diameter of wire. The brass tube is 8.73mm outer diameter. Can anyone recommend a diameter of wire which will fit, not too tight or loose?!!!

Safe storage of lipo batteries
Stuart Eggerton replied to Stuart Eggerton's topic in Batteries and Chargers
Thank you both for your replies, I have put on order an ammo box immediately! I think the black smoke in the video with seal in place would be the rubber seal burning, that would create toxic gasses. I have a concrete floor so will keep the batteries on it maybe chocked up on two house bricks! Edited By Stuart Eggerton on 26/01/2021 15:14:56 -
Hi all, I keep all of my lipo batteries in a safe which is fire proof and lockable, it has a lid which closes down tightly to seal the safe and it's quite heavy. My question is, if one of the liops malfunctioned and ignited and set the others off would the build up of pressure inside the safe cause it to explode? would I be better to drill a couple of holes in the safe to let any gasses out should they be become present?

As Chris say's the Condor was updated to version 2 in 2018, what can I say it's brilliant. I have every glider for version 2 released to date. The flight dynamics are extremely realistic as is the thermal model. You can race gliders competitively or just pootle around your local site, or soar in the Alps, whatever you want
