Hi Dave do you have volume 40 Issue 12? Will have the Multiplex Smiley on the front cover? If so could I buy it please. Thank you, Scott

Hello everyone I'm looking for anyone's first hand experience of the vintage ish Multiplex Smiley. I'm looking at getting one for a hopefully super slow twin for lazy mornings. Haven't had an older Multiplex or any multiplex on that note. Any advice would be great. Thanks

Hello everyone I just bought my wife her first plane. Its the Fms Super Ez V4 and every its advertised as comes complete with digital metal geared servos. On inspection they are all plastic geared digital servos. Has anyone had similar whilst buying from CML and any recommendations on what we should do? Was one of the reasons we chose that aircraft over the Fms Ranger 1220mm as that stated it had plastic geared servos. I know it won't matter too much and I'm sure they will be fine i just feel we should have got what it says on box and website. It does say the new v4 comes with new more powerful motor, colour scheme and digital metal geared servos.... Overall though the pnp format model is really nice and the quality is good. Regards Scott

Excaliber 2500 is a fantastic artf from Century UK

Me too 😊

And if you just don't want to try fly it you can sell her to me

Hi Dennis and Andy I think I'll go with increasing the wingspan to start with. Looking at 6" to start with and fitting some savox Servos that i have sitting around as the stock i don't trust. I'm happy enough with the stock motor and esc for the moment and 2s 800. The undercarriage must go i think too. I haven't had issues with it bending though don't want to worry about a not so smooth landing stopping future flights

Hello everyone Before i go daft cutting and extending i would like to put across what I'd like to do for your opinions I have the ill-fated Wot4 mini. I'm thinking of extending the wingspan a little and also making the leading edge thicker and flatter to slow her down a little and attempt to gain more lift. Also going to shorten the length of the ailerons Anyone else changed much on there's Thanks Scott

I've flown with both Futaba and Spektrum many years though over the last couple of years been using my trusty Hitec without any problems. It's sweet and simple ☺️

Has anyone first hand experience with the Sfm Fournier? Any recomendations etc. Will my spare 750kv be adequate with 40amp esc and 3s 2200 etc. Regards Scott

It's certainly well weathered!

So engine out and head off. Not good news. Looka a mess with lots of shavings etc. New engine time. It's done me well. So on the look out for a Os 32 heli engine. Thank you everyone for your help

Conrod is perfect thankfully and glow plug doing as it's told. Fuel line intact. Going to focus on carb again

Thanks Jon Put new plug in her and still and started revved hard then died. Will remove backplate for a nosey now

So was out flying today and whilst at around 100 ft high my helicopter engine changed not then started bogging down. I didn't get the chance to land before it had cut out though successful autorotate followed. I have managed to start it since but it only idles for a few seconds. Now it won't start at all. Fuel is clean and new, new plug and carbon looking clean. Any ideas? Thanks

So I'm currently using Model Technics contest 10 with a Os 32. The question is if have a gallon of Model Technics Gx-5 i have sitting here. Is it ok to use it? Will there be much power difference etc. Thank you.

Thank you Peter that's cleared everything up. The engine has been in bits for years since its last flight. Recently bought new internals and want to be gentle to start with. I'll look into the headloaders as they would be very beneficial. Thank you Scott

Ok I'm going back to flying my helis in a scale like manner. I have just rebuilt the little Webra 33 in my Ergo 30 and really want to run some fuel through her prior to flying. Is it safe to run a helicopter without blade's? Or what do you recommend. Was thinking of hovering? Thanks Scott

Ok thanks for the information. I was given the combination of JR and futaba rx/tx by a very experienced modeller and told i could bind but that doesn't seem the case, Thanks

Trying to bind my Futaba Skysport 6 with the Jr RS10DS with no good results. Anyone know the correct bind process? Thanks

Field still waterlogged though for us flying large scale it's not so bad with the larger wheels etc. Hopefully drier weather will permit more flying shortly. I'm hoping a long dry summer with many sorte's

Posted by Denis Watkins on 28/03/2017 19:06:58: The Huskey has a curved fin Scott, yours is straight at the top Still looking Ah ok, i'll keep looking too, tonight is dedicated to finding her somewhere out there. Thanks

Just looked at the T240 and the windows and parts of the airframe are different so back hunting the plan etc . Hoping i can find it somewhere. Similar to the Lanier Husky. Could it be that the plan has been changed slightly by the builder?
