Yes please kind people

I’ve been good. Honest!

Once again yes please

Maybe it would be so nice of those business like people at subscriptions to present a three issue free bee to all us subscribers who are being treated like fools for subscribing in the first place. I wonder just how long they think the magazine will exist when you consider how many good RC mags have fallen by the wayside. There again they can’t be bothered to answer phones or emails

Hi Jack It so happens I have an original Mijet in its complete form. The idea of parting with it is not fun.....but! Alan

I too would love to enter

Thanks for the input but I wasn’t asking for instruction. I merely was explaining how great the aircraft is and illustrating the method I have used. After approximately 30 ish years of enjoying this a/c I was also explaining the modification to the aileron set up.

Ps The aileron servo was fitted vertically in the centre section within a box section I added. There is loads of clearance for the torque rods and all the other gear in the fuselage. My repaired wing will sport an aileron in each wing now they are smaller than my original house brick Sanwa servo

Great model and a pleasure to fly. I built mine in 91 from the RM free plan. Had some head scratching but built the stbd wing as per the plan and the pt wing to the same pattern but reversing R3 and 4 ribs with the first two R2 ribs. The ply bracer also was a worry but I ended up half lapping the ribs and bracer. Naively this weakens the bracer but after 30 ish years of aerobatics and sport flying it has only just failed. I had a total loss of control and planted it nose in from height. The wing broke cleanly between CS1 and R1 on the stbd side with no other damage. Currently replacing the aforementioned bracer and will be ready to fly again when the weather gods stop being pesky. A really great model. Even as a follow on first low wing a/c after a trainer. Have fun.

JD8.. The oleo pressure ‘get around’ was also repeated by the pilots flying the 109 for the film Battle of Britain. They would taxi back in if they felt the pressure was not correct. The Luftwaffe original pilots suffered greatly as it was never classed as a novices a/c although 1 or 2 felt it was superior to our Spitfire A

Thanks folks. I had the vicious tip stall on a landing go around. I opened the throttle as I would with a non warbird. (Rearward c of g and 4s ) and it span. Nearly recovered by killing the throttle but the stupid ground looked up too soon. Will definitely try the suggestions and also fly off grass rather that a very disused, disused airfield. The ruts and bumps are magic at getting airborne in under 2 feet. Not much further forward after that though😒😊 Thanks again for the advice and great vid. Just looking for the spares bits now. Al

Hi world I have a Durafly 109 and having discovered just how ***** difficult they can be on take off, I also found they tip stall at anything below Mach 2. I would like to ask you experts two things 1 how can I avoid the tip stall 2 Does anyone have any exhaust stacks and side fus air intake please. My replacement fuselage is devoid and HK are not producing. Any help would be much appreciated Al

Thanks IAm. Unfortunately I have a 6i that’s a few years old and I cannot locate the requisite sd card port suggesting that it is too old. May need to speak nicely to the ‘Boss’ to request a replacement. Thanks again folks. Happy and safe flying.

The receivers are the 410 and the 620. Neither of them will preset failsafe but both will smart failsafe. I have employed two experienced rcers to assist with no improvement. I have read the destructions till my eyes cross and get no further. I have tried this using both my dx6i and dx7. The receivers are brand new units. I will just continue trying: may try sneaking up on them when it’s dark. Thanks for the comments about ‘kicking’ over the rudder and yanking the elevator but seriously I don’t believe any flier would do that in normal flight let alone in an uncontrollable situation. I know it’s for gliders but they hold the airspeed record for Rc. All feedback has been useful. Thank you everyone Al
