We value your privacy pop-up on every page!!

Mr S, I promise I wasn't referring to you. Aside from anything else, I didn't see you demanding someone be fired :-) I helped with my schools first computer in 1974 ( it was bui;t by one of the teachers in a massive plywood box with an 8 light readout ) Poor choice of words, I should have said a "Type" rather than a generation. And also that the sort of person I am talking about was generally nowhere near the blitz chronologically. -

Exactly, particularly when the shrieking is largely from a generation given to waxing lyrical about "geTTing oN with it liKe WE did iN the bLitz" but demanding the firing of someone for ...THIS. Seriously some of you need a word with yourselves. -

Extended nacelles just mean it's a late model with the two stage Merlins. 🙂 that thing is great! Has it flown yet? Edit: I see it has! Very well too! Great work.

Has flying got easier ?
Stuart Quinn-Harvie 1 replied to john stones 1 - Moderator's topic in In The Air
Yup, back in the old days you had to think. So what's stopping anyone having to think NOW? You just said you find it a "mystery" You have to think of different things is all. I am not denying free flight is an art, but this "Oh it was better in the old days when nothing worked, cost an absolute fortune but weren't we all clever?" Is a bit disingenuous if we refuse to engage our much vaunted brains with a computer radio and a manual. Different skills, yes, but not necessarily better ones - evolution in action. -
Update on the ep Chilli Breeze
Stuart Quinn-Harvie 1 replied to Delks's topic in RCM&E Plan Builders
Hi Mike, will Sarik be doing a set of formers as well as ribs? ( I am really looking forward to building a new one to go with my 3 year old :-) ) -

Yep, I have had three of these now related to my ad for a Cambria Eagle. -
Hi folks, I have had this sitting in it's bubble wrap for a couple of years and decided it's time it got built. I started building on Monday evening and I am at the covering stage having installed the servos beforehand and will put the motor in after covering. I really, REALLY hate installing radio: I inevitably end up with a hostile octopus made of ariel wires, servo cables and thick, unwieldy power cables. Anyway, Here it is so far, I will even slap a proper undercart on it. As far as power goes I am thinking 2s, a 2822 and an 8 x4, largely because I have them in stock and the last time I put anything bigger in a model this small ( A cardinal) the thing torque rolled into the ground. Any criticism, howls of derision or straight up advice would be welcomed. I am considering re joining my club which I let lapse at the beginning of the year because I am not one of natures social animals but it's the only way I get to fly so I am just going to have to deal with it if I want to get anything in the air again. So, to this end - will I get it finished and set up before Sunday? Who can tell?

Updated Chilli Breeze and Rival designs update
Stuart Quinn-Harvie 1 replied to Delks's topic in RCM&E Plan Builders
Thanks! it did, though it's had so many pilot induced issues it's now retired, waiting for a replacement to take over :-) -
Updated Chilli Breeze and Rival designs update
Stuart Quinn-Harvie 1 replied to Delks's topic in RCM&E Plan Builders
I loved my CB and will be building another - it's just had too many repairs now ( my flying, nothing wrong with the aeroplane. ) but it flies beautifully and is all electric. ( I fitted a fuselage mounted undercart which was later replaced by a carbon one. The last pic shows it after a couple of repairs and after I cowled the motor, while it was waiting for a spinner. The wing is built up and I used the sandwich method to make the ribs - not something I fancy doing again, I have to admit. She will fly happily on 3s but goes "properly" on 4. -
Hi folks, I am looking for a Cambria Eagle - either completed or boxed kit or anything in between as long as it's all there and no one's made a dog's breakfast of it. Based in Manchester, but I might be happy to drive a bit... Cheers All.

My foam board Mosquito maiden flight.
Stuart Quinn-Harvie 1 replied to Eric Robson's topic in Warbird kits
Nice work, looks fantastic in the air. I can't get used to foam board, having tried a Flite Test design, but it's clear that I need to persevere ?
