Nice, you will find "outer zone" very interesting. Enjoy

Post overlap...interesting to see pictures it's taken ...

Yes JD, you know that but do they ? Even a tatty old land rover ( tax and mot exempt I hope with a reg like TAF 123 🤓🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 ) is worth quite something, even as spares . Lots of National Trust land near Pembroke coast ( magnificent scenery and sloping opportunities, I known, I walked the coastal paths early 2000's, Dale etc. ) area No drones or other "powered" model flying. Does this drone have a camera ? Is this drone under 250g ? Leccy highlighted caa number ... Does operate even have insurance ? Way too many " negatives" to suggest that pilot is in fact "dishonest" and may be up to no good ?

Owner casing your farm for nickable quads etc. ?

PAW ci IC engines are wonderfull bits of kit, but paw also do precision engineering too, so are "similarish" to laser in that respect, a multi stringed bow. Noise and fuel availability/cost are the deciding factor as to using an IC motor I feel. Electric propulsion is also noisey and possibly more annoying to some people. The "hobby"/sport is continually being challenged with increasing rules, it's participant becoming "de skilled" due to fantastic foamies rather than "hand made" plan based models. For me, either kit or more often plan based hand made flying models being IC powered ( but I do have some electric propulsion models ) and/or slope soarers is the way to go. We are all different but have one thing in common, a desire to fly an RC model aeroplane. Sadly I cannot afford to fly the real things. Enjoy the hobby while we still can. Happy Easter, and landings.

Emiw, not Ernie, dam predictive text ! Apologies.....

Hi Ernie, Clwydian hills, lovely... There will be a slope soaring club localish to you. The Wrexham model shop closed some years ago now but I believe there is a model shop in the Mold area ? Having flow ( and successfully landed dead stick many times ) from a slope before you will soon get back into the swing of things having plenty of time to practise, even landing approaches. No fantastic 5 mins foamy or 15 mins glow joy before having to land, rather your batteries ( and your bodies ( fingers ) ) stamina, duration and ability to tolerate the cold ! Read up, prepare, research, check, check and check again, visit your chosen flying site, say hello, look, relearn but most of all Enjoy. As you know slope soaring is many things, but most of all, a real breath of fresh air flying Fun ! The great orme and cilan headland ( abersoch ) is not a million miles away from you and a really good ( summers and winters ) day out in the fresh air. Keep your wits about you on the slope. Discipline it seems can be lacking in "some" groups. Even though I tend to fly solo, I still shout out "landing" etc..

Hi Ian, Back track a few posts to the plan picture. The "arrow" above the wing rear joiner "tube" may be the C of g, just cannot zoom in to see clearly on this cheapo internet phone. If you have a proper computer/vdu, then you should be able to see what's written on the plan etc.. If that is the C of g, it's quite a bit "rearward".....but then again I cannot see the plan and text clearly, until I visit the library after this weekends "mayhem".

Hi flyboy, Shops are closing local to me but I get my foam board ( model makers board ) from "the range" in Bangor 20 miles away. It comes in one thickness only as far as I remember, A4, A3 and A2 They may stock larger "a" size but I only get the a sizes mentioned, transport problems. Paper foam paper laminate, the paper peels off easily Bangor b and q stock the black foam underlay in a large size multi sheet pack. There will be online and model shop suppliers... Have not watched the video you mention, that bag of sweets will be opened and watched next time I am in the library, a bus ride away. I hope you will post progress in this thread ? Clarke y wing section ? rich

Some of you will no doubt remember watching a particular TV program about a battle tank ( centurion ? ) seen in broad daylight on a hill ridge some distance away. Seen in silouette, it stuck out like a black soar thumb on the skyline. Unmistakable. The bright white light search light mounted on the tanks turret was turned on and aimed at the camera taking the pictures some distance away. On turning on the search light, the tank was said to "disappear" with no bright white light searchlight seen either !

Hi guys, Solar tec is good stuff but the soon gets grubby. I painted the hi boy but it added weight, quite a lot in fact, but was really easy to clean. I believe there is a spray on "armour coat" for fabric and carpets ? ?, but no idea if it would be suitable for solar tex or for use with fuels. Maybe your better halfs use a similar product on your carpets ? May be worth doing a bit of experimentation on a solartex covered sample ? ? ? Perhaps ?

Those sorts of attitudes have been expressed to some members on here for some time, deserved or otherwise.

Very good fuel economy, much better than glow, slowish speed model, not much engine speed/thrust needed to keep the Vs Electra, or super 60, or any other vintage style model aloft, so even for say a 15 mins flight ( or more ?? ), not much fuel needed so no need for a large fuel tank, so fit a smallish tank. You will probably never run the paw absolutely flat out for long, if at all. You don't want to rip the wings off or have them "clap" ? Learn how to start and run the paw.

Red model canopy ( and tail plane, not sure about rudder ) looks like a hurricane ? ? That was my impression when I first saw it anyway.

That paw, it's a bit of an animal...enjoy.

Outerzone Lockheed Electra, very nice, rubber powered and free flight, very nice indeed. Twin electric and a sloper ? Will get that one printed off full size plan. The Vic smeed Electra looks good, it will be it's a Vic Smeed. I have and RC paw 19 looking for a model. Was thinking of enlarged found centennial.... What ever you choose, learn how to start and run your paw 19. Model technic d1000, do not ( Do Not ) use an electric start ! You may consider a " wrap around cylinder warming blanket, electrically heated or similar, even a small "warm air" cylinder heater, particularly for colder days starting aid. As said, learn how to start that paw, it's s but of an animal but a great engine like all paws. Small fuel tank !

Struth Matty, take great care and get better...

How did the land grab situation pan out ? Not a new year resolution but still not smoking. I do not call myself a "non smoker" as sometimes the "pangs", the very strong desire to have a fag happens. Stay safe out there, happy landings...

May I ask, what about a free flight aeroplane ?

T6k-v2 ?? See manual pages 30 to 33 Aircraft ( wing type ) ?? Glider ( wing type ) ?? Also page 50/5 1. Function menu's /page number.. Page 55, model type.. also 63, and some pages further into manual... It's quite involved with set up ... Start at the begining, what type of model... I do not use mine to the full ( yet ) as I do "mixing" in my head and via thumbs/sticks...less to worry about Have fun...

Hi Davy, welcome back and joining here. I suspect you know a lot has changed rules wise, but other than radio gear and propulsion, model flying us basically the same as before. The birds haven't changed much. Would love to see that russian engine, an mds perhaps. Is it only powered flight you are interested in ? Have a great day, should be a lovely model flying day today.

Ukraine, Russia, gazza, a war zone ??????? However, he may be completely innocent going for a civilian world record ?????

Internet being a pita again. Do you have any experience with ci ( diesel ) model engines ? You have experience with glow engines and have the starting kit ?

Thanks max, veru much appreciated, thanks. 👍

Have you seen the plans on outerzone for this subject ?
