  1. Vast Majority of instructions on download ( translate German to English function comes up on screen ) are bilingual, German and English. Some stuff on page one needs some translation, Google or the lad will help me with that. Great that the download is A4 friendly, only £6.20p cost to print out in library, black and white. Not fully studied yet so esc info may be hidden in download somewhere, such as type, amps etc.. The site and mag looks very interesting, again translated into English... Other stuff shown not just aero subjects, a little bit like rcme used to be..... Enjoy
  2. The very inexpensive foam chuck gliders ( £2.99 is the cheapest I have seen, last year/summer season ) seem to sell quite well. Not a lot of instructions/graphic on the labels...... The much cheaper ( 50p ) coloured profile chuck gliders are quite popular too. Maybe parents should route out indoor flying event locally and take the kids along. Dad took us kids ( all the boys at any rate ) to a slope soaring event in churchstoke was it ( long mynd ) , some 60 miles plus from home. All us boys joined the ATC and had flying experience. My elder brother and myself are aeromodellers, my younger bro, hang gliders...my lad, ppl but could not afford to keep up experience, way too rich for our meagre budget at the time. Such is life... Looking forward to kits arrival... Thanks dg.
  3. As if you didn't know before, this is one reason why slope soaring is so fantastic !
  4. Diamond geezer, look out for largish white envelope, first class post should be with you tomorrow. Please confirm its safe arrival, and dispatch of your parcel when posted. Thanks again dg......rich.
  5. Do you think the posty can see the road signs ? Like me, they cannot see the large sign in the window right next to the front door that says " Deliveries, please use the DOOR KNOCKER provided". The posty says he can read.
  6. Cool, so £32 in total ? Saw pm with address, trying to see address again...
  7. Yeah, suppose so....
  8. Thanks leccy, eye test booked, 🤓👍, much appreciated.
  9. Hi again dg, kits still available ? Any update on postage/carriage cost ? Over ....
  10. Thanks GG, very much appreciated. I am hoping john stennard will reply.... On page 69, top rh picture, that motor from Swm, Steve Webb models ??? Again, help greatly appreciated. The 20p picture, the very small Rx on the rhs, a microaces jobby ?? Anyone ?
  11. I read with interest in mays rcme issue, The Insider, by John Stennard, page 67, top rh corner picture, saying " at around £4 a time these little power units have proved popular with indoor fliers ", please please please John Stennard, or anyone in the know, from where are these units available please ? I know about the micro aces stuff. I presume the small brushless motor is from ( swm ) steve webb models ?? Thanks in advance for your help.
  12. Hi Dd LL54, caernarfon area north wales
  13. Hi again dd, I am assuming both kits are complete and unstarted, is that correct please. Please could you show content s . The beechcraft kit the box lid just lifts off. Not sure about Rare bird box, may be a lift off lid, may be a contents slide out type of box. Sorry to hassle.... Over.....
  14. £25 plus postage ? About how much would postage be dd please ? Over...
  15. Here here ( hear hear, which ever way it's said ) , nice one Franz. Nice looking weather...unlike UK, biblical rain again...
  16. Please see pm just sent.... Seems as if others are also interested too.
  17. How much ? Plus postage....
  18. Why naked bulbs ? Even a 12v 5 watt bulb will get quite warm. A 12v 21w even warmer/hotter, supply voltage dependant. Go to breakers or halfrauds and get a bulb holder/lamp unit..... I do like the idea of an upsidedown Belfast sink.....
  19. Does the new msl d1000 still have castor or gone synthetic now ?
  20. Wow ! I have been using wheelspin in the past. Leeds model shop has been mentioned in the past as has the shop advertised in rcme, Weston's, but that contains no castor. PAW recommend a weston's fuel but check. Paraffin, castor, ether and a drop of ipn or similar John deer "easy start' has highest ether content. Paraffin is available Paw used to do castor, know any angina suffers ? Leccy may have beaten me with his reply so no worries Yuo may come across some reluctance to sending stuff via royal mail ( just like lipos ) but some carriers will send it Happy flicking, lots of burps and brrrrr's to come. Been putting off reading this thread until engine is running
  21. Great story leccy and extremely plausable. Nice me Phil, bb's and bw's etc. can still be had, newish, dens model supplies in UK, Cox international as you say, exmodelengines and mecoa, buy mecoa is not very uk friendly it seems. Silencers and rc throttles are available too. The td09's I have can be heard in the next village unsilenced ! Would love a 15, in the style of td09, and/or any rC silenced Cox. Only model I ever managed to set on fire ( only knew it was ablaze due to the heat ) was a Cox pt19 cl plane. Blew it out with no damage to me or the plastic Would love one of those pt19's and a Stuka ! Mecoa may be making pt19's. Cox model engine forum, Turbines.... Remember the reduced nitro rules in glow fuels, anyone ? Happy landings out there.
  22. Hi eb, glad you have an IC engine, s petrol one at that ! If answering your question has resulted in thread drift, perhaps you should not have asked ? Anyways, back to the future of our IC engines...it seems methanol is bring used to power ships ! They don't do 40 nautical miles to the ton, or do they ? Balsa shortages/price hikes due to wind turbine blades....mmmm. Enjoy while you can.
  23. Hi eb, you posed a question as did I, more than once. Many members on here also pose questions.
