Nigel, Its a metal backed Spinner, that yes I just cut the front off. Originally it came from 4-max "light weight plastic spinner" Colin

Nigel, The Bf109 flies slowly as well quite nicely, and so does the Spitfire. Weighed it again last night - just under 1 1/2 kg > about 3.3lbs

Nigel, I'll have to weigh it again. Its heavier than I expected but the same as Ic version if I remember. But this hasn't proved to be a problem, just makes it more stable in flight. Substational weight could be saved by modifying the ply fuselage doublers etc etc.. Covering wize......... It actually fibre glassed, aerosol primer filler from Halfords and then airburshed using Vallejo 'model air' paints. You could use a 4S just needs to be the correct motor/prop combination. Mine has a 4-max 3541- 1070 +12x6 prop. This motor can take 3s or 4s batteries, but you'd have to drop the prop to a 10x5 or simiar. All my electrics were supplied by Georgte at 4-Max. Colin p.s. we also built a Spitfire on a 'hot' 4s setup, which was then recorded at 128mph at our club speed event.

Nigel, I built a Cambrian 'Electrified' Bf109 and to my surprise it flies really really well..I have hand launched it myself, but it requires a really good throw if theres no wind - best to get a club mate to do this bit. Construction is simple and agree with the comments above about the Ply fuselage doublers they could easily be replaced with something lighter or with big hoiles drilled in them. I also lightened all formers where I thought I could. Its got a 3S3300 which gives me long enough flights (8-10mins) - and balances with no additonal weight. The construction guide could do with updating as the electric conversion bit is a bit adhoc! ... Tailwheel mentioned but not supplied. So far broken props have not been an issue with the brake off.

Tony Nijhuis not Nihjuis !

Tony Nihjuis 70mm EDF Jet Provost 'T5'. It's now had many successful flights from this dolly, along with a few propellor jobs!

Hi, I have one of the Timbertech guns and have had reasonable result with it. They also come with several needles and tips for various spray pattern sizes. They do need the paint thinned correctly as they clog quick quickly. Or use something like Vallejo ModelAir colour which start off the correct 'thinness' to start with. Couple of example attached... Tony Nihjuis 72" Lanc and TN Mosquito

Geoff S, take a look at this..... RAF / USAAF M-357-A dinghy kite (historicflyingclothing.com) Colin

"Target weight" with or without battery? I've just about finished the build, and am pleased to find that without battery I'm under TN's "target weight" of 1,300g. But the 400g battery pack is going to take me significantly over Hi, Mine has come out at 1060g without a battery installed, it has been glassed and painted, so potentially heavier than just a film covering.

Amps x Volts = Watts 36A x 16.6V = 604Watts

Glen, It's a much-modified Tony Nijhuis 46" Mossie. Electric powered, with electric retracts and a more rounded/shaped fuselage.

4-Max offer 3 bladed props, which I'm using on my Mossie with no problems. 3 blade props from 4-Max

Ditto..... The Mini2 is an excellent drone, I bought mine as a starter with the intention of upgrading to something with a better camera after 12 months or so but have decided I don't need to upgrade as the quality of the images is excellent. Amazed at the quality so I'm sticking with my Mini2 as well

I've tried the SUN25 and it doesn't appear to work correctly online...... £44 order only gets £4 off. I've cancelled the order Sorry!

Tony Nijhuis has go to be high up on the list for me. Having built and flown a number of his Models.

George at 4-max is now selling various sized LED rings that change colour depending on throttle position..... LED Afterburner Lights For 50mm, 64mm 70mm and 90mm EDF (4-max.co.uk)

Toolmakers tip..........When drilling sheet metal, if you place a about 4 pieces of rag between the drill and where you want to drill the hole. Then drill through the rag into the metal, it stops the drill wobbling and produces a nice round hole.

Jason, that should have said 'front'. See picture Allen, Possibly not the best position, but it works. It also allows enough room to squeeze the ESC in, if the fan was at the front it starts to get complicated

Jason, I ran the motor leads out of the motor pod underneath the pod 'supports' at the back. You don't really notice them. You can just about see then in Tony's build photos. Allan, George at 4-Max recommended extending the battery leads as modern ESC can now cope with this. The battery leads where then joined together to make a sort of 'Y' lead. I also shortened the Motor leads to be able to fit the wiring and ESC within the Pod.
