Sounds like an ideal setup. Hope your club finds some new members. Tim

First test glide

Jon, There’s a coincidence. I’ve just finished the same build. Just had its maiden test glide which went well. Waiting for a quiet warmer day on the hill now. tim

In the end I had to choose between Weston & the LMA show at Marcle. No brainier for me as it is my local club . Entrance was £10 for non members . Trade stands while reduced were better than expected I even managed to find a 4S LiPo I needed. The flying display put on by the LMA was as ever superb , just love those big planes and , for me, the Vulcan is still the most magnificent site at a model show. Helped by the perfect weather. Think I made the right choice but I would have done both if the dates had not clashed…. Tim

Guess I’ll just have to go to both ?

Try 4-maxStand-offs . Anything up to 15 cm by the look of it. Tim

Personally I now prefer to use Sbus for wing connections. Only ever 1 lead to connect. Tim

No backup Tx for my Horus X10 but model memories saved to my Mac. Really hoping the X20 is eventually able to import those files then I might think about buying one. Tim

Chris , real model pilots print them for you at 1/16 scale. That’s where most of the gnat builders went. Check out the provost and gnat builders thread where there’s some discussion over choice. Tim

Interesting Neil, I was fairly convinced about that characteristic as well so I follow the same practice. Tim

Used to fly with Pete Litley , the founder of Penn models back in the 70s . Top man and glad the service is continuing. Tim

I have, in the past, thought of cutting the excess rear motor shaft but decided to live with it as after enquiring of the manufacturer I was told it would invalidate the warranty. If it’s an expensive new motor something to consider. Tim

Indeed Horus OS always required a trigger for each model. I always use Rx volts as a trigger. Tim

Bob, interesting re the neuron parameters . On the Horus OS it only ever recorded ESC values( correctly) and never the BEC values . (They were there because I know you got them ok on OpenTx). Plus none of the neuron TM values appeared in the TM log which was very annoying. Are they there now ? Tim

I just print an A4 page full of the pesky things onto vinyl and peal one off whenever required. Non faded yet and easy to peel off and replace. Tim
