  1. I’m trying to add a photo to a thread but no matter what I do it is upside down! I very posted other photos before without any problems??
  2. Thanks Colin I will have a look, maybe for a winter build.
  3. Colin Mossie looks good is it a kit? I built the BT one some time ago but only lasted one flight as motor cut, I should like to build another but electric this time.
  4. Quite an interesting year of racing, often with varied results apart from Verstappen dominance. Let's hope Ferrari and Mercedes can catch up in the winter. Thanks John for your work in running the league.
  5. Very difficult to predict the results so far this season. With the red team continually falling down the order for one reason or another. I have a thought, I seem to remember Louis saying that he would like to drive for Ferrari! With the mistakes the team are making I wonder if that could be his retirement plan. I await comments .
  6. I've used 2K laquer from riolettcustomaerosols, it is a rattle can which is activated by pulling a pin in the base, the only down size is that it then has shelf life of about 8 hrs although I think this can be increased if stored in the fridge. They also do a wide range of colours also in 2k
  7. On further thoughf, am I right to assume that if club had a fire as a result of our activities that we would be covered by our bmfa insurance?
  8. Our field is also in a sorry stage it's on drained marsh land and now there are serious cracks in it, we've tried filling them in the past with only slight improvement it's surprising how deep some of them are. We also have rape on three sides! We always stop flying turbines at this time of year until the crops are harvested.
  9. I've given up applying logic and form to my predictions I think the dart board is as good as any. I suppose it could be argued that it is more entertaining but does not do my scores any good. How do you top boys do it so consistently?
  10. Bottom of the day so much for the red team. Shows much potential but just appeares to be unable to get it all together and with penalties due to failures I think I will be slipping further down the field. I'm sorry guys but I just do not count Verstappen as a champion given the way it was gifted to him last year. My heart is with the Mercedes drivers even though neither are in my team of predictions.
  11. Have a close look as some of them have an adjustable stop that can be adjusted with a 1.5 km Allen key. I doubt they are worn as the gears are very small and well meshed if they wear they would be inclined to slip.
  12. This season so far seems to be more about who has a Crystal ball about the outcome of the actual race. My team selection is ok, my grid positions have been reasonable but the actual race results have been dogged by major events. Well done to those who still score high points, what is you secret??
  13. I've been hoping that Richard would produce a wooden Mosquito this now looks very unlikely so count me in for a foamy if you do decide to kit it.
  14. Really super looking model and obviously flies well. The mosquito is one of my favourite models and I have built a couple. Still hoping that we can persuade Richard Willis to kit one. Well done to you on a great model
  15. Better racing certainly. I do hope Mercedes manage to overcome their porpoising problems although they are not my team having gone for the prancing horse this time. I do not think there will be issues with Hamilton and Russel as they are at very different stages of their careers. I expect Hamilton will retire at the end of this year.
  16. They are 140 mm long. E mail your address and I'll stick them in the post.
  17. are these any good to you ?
  18. There appears to be a many more annoying adverts on the latest site.
  19. Just selected my team. Must admit not hopeful as difficult to pick a decent team with the 75 mill budget. Obviously they are trying very hard to start us the the pro selection.
  20. Well Mercedes have certainly caused a bit of a stir with their side pods and cooling system! The only photos I've seen it looks a bit fragile. Must admit it's going to be difficult to budget without pro but glad that we are sticking to the standard money. Not chosen my team yet but at present I don't think it will be much different from last year. Good luck all.
  21. Our club members have used prosynth fuel for many years both 4stroke and 2stroke without any problems. We buy in bulk to take advantage of the discount offered
  22. Sorry Kevin, just rejoined so now top o f the league but not for long. So far not much evidence that anything is going to change, maybe Ferrari might improve as they are a team that underperformed recently.
  23. Having had most of the popular warbirds over the years I would agree the mustang variants tend to be more forgiving. The fun fighter are a good basic model but might be under powered with either 3s or a 19 size ic. Foamys are good in light winds and would be ok with 3s.
