We should have less of these doom and gloom topics, IC engines and building seem to be on the up from what i can see.

Zenoah 45 and Sierra retracts.

For inspirationMy 1/6 scale Bates Hellcat. 80" span, flies like a trainer.

Arrows Bearcat for sale, reasonable condition for a foamy. 43" wingspan, fully working condition flaps and retracts. Will include two 3S 2200 lipos. Asking £75 Collection only from North Staffordshire.

Balsa USA 1/4 scale Nieuport 28 complete with Zenoah 26 engine. 80" wing span, tex covered with rib tapes. No servos / Rx included. Good condition, only 3 years old and flown infrequently. Engine is reliable and a good runner. Collection only from North Staffordshire. Asking £575.

What did the Hurricane weigh?

What size prop do they turn Jon? Would it fly an 80" Jerry Bates Hellcat, its been flying on a Zenoah 45. Regards

The British Waterplane Association held a few meetings there, flying off one the lakes at the bottom of the fields. Seem to remember the museum had a good cafe/restaurant too. Late 80s early 90s.

Thats a great idea. I might incorporate that on my next build. I have the same model just recently completed awaiting a test flight. How do you find the landings with the BT Mk1A, does it have a tendandcy to nose over.

My Taylor Hurricane had a similar tank position to the carb, Laser 120. It ran perfect for 12 years until i retired the model, no siphoning at all.

Weather permitting, I'll come.

Talking to some jet flyers at the weekend, these Electron retracts are considered the best when it comes to electric ones. Home > Electron Retracts (electron-retracts.com) If you want air operated go with Sierra.

Thanks for replies, Think I'll go ahead and order some. They will be going in s Brian Taylor BF110

Yes they are the ones

Hello Just asking to see if anyone has any experience with using Electron Retracts. Thanks
