  1. Hi guys Iv just brought the above model, i will be fitting an asp91 2 stroke. Would you say there is a correct CoG as I think il aim for about 130-135mm. Many thanks Tom.
  2. Thanks guys I must of missed that one, have read it and it does look smart, just need to open up the cowl and be gentle on landings!!
  3. Ahh thanks il try and find the review, yer it does look a little bit on the week side but they all have the bad points, as long as it's not actually a bad design hopefully it will stand up.
  4. Hi guys I'm looking at a seagull radial rocket for a 90 2 stroke should fit in nicely and it looks a nice plane but has anyone got any reviews of it on here? Thanks tom.
  5. Just thought I would share my thoughts of putting an 1050KV motor in the foam e acro wot. What an improvement, The standard motor is 850kv and I fitted the overlander 3635 1050 and it fits spot on tho the motor shaft is about 5mm longer, batteries are warm, motor is warm but speed controller is lukewarm. Flight time is reduced on my new 3c 2200 to about 6.30 (leaving 18-25 %) but speed is better alongside the APC 11/8 prop but the biggest improvement is it will go vertical from take off and is almost unlimited (until it is very small) very chuffed for about 25 pounds from inwoods and would recommend to anyone with an acro wot or wot 4. Well worth the money. Tom.
  6. Hi everyone, could anyone recommend or help me make a set up for an Acro wot mk2 please I'm going electric with it and I would like a bit of speed and vertical power. I'm happy to go 5-6 cell and a 60-80 size speed controller as I would be able to put it in other models in the future, but I can not work out what motor to go for, Im still new to the electric side of things but I love chucking a battery in my acro wot Foam E and would now like to go a bit bigger and faster, many thanks Tom.
  7. have rang suplier and found out it is an 810 kv so can delete this thread if needed, tom.
  8. Hi everyone sorry if this has been covered I did have a look, but I'm looking to upgrade my Acro wot motor, Iv seen a couple of cheep upgrades on eBay going up from 810 kv to 910 kv but that is only any good if my Motor is actually 810kv? Any help welcome thanks tom
  9. Hi everyone, Looking at my next electric foam e, was thinking a bit the FMS p51 but then came across the free wing p51 it's a little bigger and seems well built. Would take the sound system out straight away!! Any thoughts? Many thanks Tom.
  10. Hi everyone, sorry for the delayed reply, thanks for all the comments and cracking advice. I took the plunge and brought an Acro wot foam e, batteries and charger, after reading the comments (thanks Steve,) I LOVE it, its brilliant, I can pop it in the work van and within 5 mins of getting to the club I'm flying and with 5 batteries I get the same flights in and back to the family, very chuffed with it. Thanks for the FMS models tip they look good, I must admit that the price of converting a bigger model vs the foam models with half if not most of the work already done is very very tempting. Does seem a lot of out lay just to not have a foam model, and if they are like some of the wrecked wot 4s at my club they can take a knock it would appear. I must of admit I was against foam planes but I have got 360 on that. Hopefully many more electric updates too come
  11. Hi everyone, I'm looking at the black horse P47 as my next model but would like to run it electric but I don't want to start cutting holes in the plane for the battery access. Can anyone recommend a 60 inch Ish size plane that can run happily with electric with out having to carve big holes or ones that have a magnectic attachment. any ideas welcome. many thanks Tom.
  12. thanks Dave yes a friend said he would leave that set up alone too, il try ans get it priced up and hopefully it wont be too bad.
  13. Hi everyone, Many thanks for all your reply's and info. Right the model I'm looking at buying next in either Ic or electric is this. it seems good value for money and a nice size, my 91 2st would be lovely. BUT I just cant seem to get them to run reliably, like today, I took me ready 3 out for a flight with a 60 4 stroke, 3 flights no problem then on the last flight on a go around the engine died on the turn and I broke my landing gear with a hard landing. WHY?? In my head if i had electric i wouldnt of had that bad landing, iv seen people get them running perfectly but i dont seem to be able to. I don't had loads on money to throw away on models either, But i fully realise that electric is NOT cheep but my main issue is time, with a couple of little ones and work I put my gear in the work van and go flying after work so the quicker I can get flying the better. I thought if I spend some money on a good electric set up and then i can buy the same size models with that power set up in mind. But after today i must admit im about ready to give up with this lark lol.   thanks Again, Tom. Edited By Steve Hargreaves - Moderator on 20/02/2016 17:35:43
  14. Hi guys im thinking of converting over from my 91 2st to electric, the phaff of nitro somtimes and the lack of flying time i get is making me think about going green im aiming to fly a 60 ish size plane electric the first thing is could anyone recommend a rough system or costs, i cant afford to buy 3/4 £70/80 pounds worth of batteries to have a nice few flights, are there any systems i can buy at a 60 size as watts and volts are a little confusing, many thanks for any help. Tom.
