    Been out 4 times this year. Only 2 frosts. Normally get out in frosts 3 times a week in Jan-Feb. Rain never stops. Still no end in sight. Field might be dry by May perhaps 🤞🤞🤞🤞Been in RC since 1969 and never known it so bad 😱😱Colin

    Yes - get a manual online. U Tube has masses of assistance. Agree with finding an experienced flyer to assist. It is possible to teach yourself but it will be expensive! I tought myself on Morley’s in the 80s but it was a long process! Colin

    Just picked up an NX8 from a club member giving up. Almost new. Own a DX9 and DX6. Cannot in all honesty see any real difference worth shouting about. I pinch the sticks and my fingers catch on the switches. Don’t on other two sets. Can’t see why tho ???? The 9 is an early Mk1 and the NX is just insurance really. Colin

    I’ve found paint wipes with a bit of spit cleans up well. But sometimes some foams just darken. One chap emulsioned his Acromaster and it looked very good !!Colin

It kept moving!!😱😱How I got Riot down after it flew into a fog patch that suddenly appeared I just can’t think ?🤯🤯UMX Mossie still rubbish despite adding lead up front !Colin

    Thanks Leccy. I’ve got HK 300 lipo in there , not significantly different to original . Found I had to use rudder all the time ! Haven’t checked cg. Must do that. Long grass saved it on the tip stalls. 😂😂😂. Yes wings look about to clap !😂😂 The elevators and rudder are paper thin and bend easily. Ta again Colin

    Perfect morning for AS3X chuckies . Bright no wind. New 12 yrs old Parkzone Mossie UMX was a real handful. Tip stalling constantly. Got a new non flying members Riot up no problem. Tried quick flight with him but buddying will b necessary. No time for that today !🥺🥺Colin

    Sebart Miss Wind hatch opens backwards from the nose and is secured by a 2mm bolt 1/2 inch from the prop. It’s got an XT60 isolation plug on the side for obvious reasons ! 🤯🤯🤯🤯😤😤😤🩸🩸🏥🏥. Colin

    Plus one for Poundland in the small bottles ! Colin

    I use something similar from HK using XT 60s. On quite a few models. Balsa and foam. In use for probably a decade. No problems! Colin

    I’ve got RC Flight Log app on I Phone. Records aircraft , lipos , tx’s. Just a note of each flight with which lipo , tx. That’s enough info for me. My wife knows a lady who writes down everything daily 😱😱Not for me I’m afraid! App was a quid from memory! Colin

    I run an indoor 🚁club in a small village hall on Fridays. CH and bar next door. £8-50 hour and we hire for 2 hours. 17 years now and no problems. I charge £2 for a session. Keep a small float and give free week if it gets too big (or a week In Caribbean)😂😂😂Get between 8-10 folk. Colin

    I’ve seen the red Hughes flying last Friday. Flies itself.

    First flight with the Acromaster since October , on new NX8. No problem. Perfect flying conditions. Frosty grass. Full sun . No wind. Good to get out as only managed 3 times since early October cos of weather. Others out suffered somewhat including a nib Wildcat which crashed on take off. Sure the problem was elevator horn fracturing (old thin plastic) . Motor burnt out too !👿👿👿😱😱😱😱😥😥😥

    Must be abnormal. Only a coat over a flannel shirt. Gloves with finger/ thumb cut off if required. Possibly a scarf if it’s a little windy. Waterproof walking boots for the mud ! Love flying on frosty ,🌞🌞non windy days. Dont get many of those any longer.
