Ready to order a set and need some help, I have no 2.4 gear as yet. What is my best option receiver wise ? I cant see any dimensions for the frsky rx's, I want it for mostly small lecky models, and only thing for now will be monitoring battery. Sorry if you've already covered it, I've not read all posts coz without the Tx it's a bit confusing John

Just a young pup myself 59, it chokes you up watching the ceremonies. John

Ditto BEB Its snug, plenty of cooling though John

We where fishing a lake in Selby...A mate was casting and his line never came forwards, when he looked behind there was a 1/2 ton of cow with a hook in its backside Beat that one John

Cheers BEB Found my rattle and dremels sorted my issue out, weathers looking bad though John

Dawn flyer.. pushy cat....not a mini jazz....and doing my best to badger some clubmates to attend John...can't keep a secret dept...

I'll take some picy's of Chippy then, don't go claiming my colour scheme though John

This is a modelling forum lads Best I've had is a Barbel at 9 1/4 lb, 22 hook 1lb hooklength. Happy days John

Some of our lads can't hit a 10 acre field you'd be better off with a big butterfly net John John

Best tip I can give you fb3, have someone who can fly them, set it up for him. That way he can at least be sure the heli's right, even if his thumbs disagree. John

Not me Douglas, only had back of to do stick tension, it looks to be a sturdy bit of stuff and it's a very well made set, If it was me I would give it a go. Take back off and have a look see John

Looks a nice bit of kit that Cymas John

Accucel 6 for me John

Maidens on pause I know it's possible because you fella's have done it, I am having trouble fitting esc and lipo. Had to take motor out and sand a bit off bulkhead. Also had to get out me pram and go look for my rattle. John

Broke my hand and a few fingers at different times Robert. I was told I would not get full movement back, I have Keep waggling the sticks and using the tools, it worked for me John

We see it at Doncaster (Finningley) every time you see it, you think "nah that can't be right" Back on track now Danny P.S. great shots Phil thanks

I have to go next week to arrange a club visit, will have a look and see if I can get some photo's as well John

Would love to see a video of it being hand launched Andy John

I flew mine on an O.S. 120 fs John, it flew great. It didn't have unlimited vertical nor power to pull out of hover easily. I don't think a 20 petrol will either. I don't know the weights for your engine choices, but moving the battery's back will help you balance without using lead. Fit a lite ply floor in rear of fuselage if needed to locate them. I used no lead in mine it balanced with the battery's fixed to engine box. John

As Martin says, adjust c.g. models like this are more tolerant to a rearward one. It'll also liven up your other moves John

In terms of balancing your model without using lead it's good FB3, only downside is it may spoil the look a little. John

What do you mean by tube Danny ? Is there an outlet from the box that's shown which is not in picture ? John

Auto shop, its magic stuff John

Thanks Colin Cigars sorted John
