Picture of wings and the fus would help Eric.

Playing up for me, been reported but nothing I can tell you at present.

[Slow or intermittent access]

Been fine all day for me, some times is slow when other sites are o.k though.

Fix with countersunk screws, then film over ?

What a day of Rugby, best 6 Nations for a long time.

Well done top 3.

Game flew by for me, ref was good, game played with very few tmo stoppages, England never froze when pressure came on.

Happy Englishman.

Practice told nothing really, if owt it confused you.

[Fantasy Formula 1 (Fantasygp.com)]

15 in now. 👍

Hope it's more of a contest on the track this year, even though I'm a Max/Honda fan, that should ensure a competetive league. Good luck all, and you Igor. 😉

How about the SLEC Coyote glider Coyote Glider 1320mm (52") span (slecuk.com)  It can be built as a powered or non-powered version.

 

 

I haven't built a Coyote (but quite fancy one at some time), but I have built, flown and destroyed (mid-air collision) an SLEC Funfly. The quality of the kit, and the illustrated instructions, were excellent, and I can only assume that the Coyote kit is likewise. 

 

 

There are also some build videos and blogs online if needed.

Tidy work Steve.

[Digital vs Analogue servos]

Yep, and some digis in smaller sizes are very reasonable prices, science and modelling moved on massively over the years, as we're all witness to. Would I rubbish analogue servos, no, I still use them and digis.

 

[Digital vs Analogue servos]

I find this often had discussion confusing. A servos a link in the chain, as is the gap between hinge lines, slop free linkages, building light/straight, having a reliable engine that throttles well, it's part of the package. If you stall an anologue servo it's bad news, extra current used is easily managed, they're Red Herrings, old wives tales. Can I tell if I upgrade a link in the chain ? Of course I can, and I very much think most of you could. Do you need them ? Entirely up to you to decide that one. Negatives ? They cost more.

Removed cowl with ease plus esc and motor. Found utube video showing how to test system using servo tester. This I did and found motor ok so esc is for the bin. I have a 60amp esc which I used for the test, can I use this (to save money) instead of duff 30amp esc which came with model. ? Thanks

 

Yes Eric.

[Fantasy Formula 1 (Fantasygp.com)]

Changed my team Already, be scoring fewer this year methinks.

[Throttle cut will not work]

I couldn't think of any situation where I'd charge to teach someone, other than it was a business venture I'd set up.

Use my model, at worse you'd provide the fuel.

Taking money whilst using a scheme set up, and paid for by the BMFA membership seems questionable at the very least, maybe I'm misunderstanding what's been said ?

Getting Arthritis in your hands could change that view.

[Six Nations Rugby Union 2024.]

Depressing. England deviod of an identity, unable to join up different aspects of the game, no play makers, no belief, can't pass, nor keep hold of it, everytime somethings looking good they screw it up.
