get well soon best wishes

I have had great service from the folks at balsa cabin mail order and driving down to visit and selecting my own wood. Any supplier worth their salt would refund reimburse if the product was not up to spec.

just supported mine to the tune of £200.00 last week "can't take it with you"

might be better to ask over here Djayhttp://www.fpvuk.org

The gent in question has been 'learning' for several years, and has been through his fair share of instructors and models but has still yet to fly solo. Several years good grief ! I have heard of slow learners but it may be that he needs to stick with one instructor and have a structured training path with set objectives of going solo.Even now when I go to the field I go with a plan of what I want to perfect, rolling circuits, Cuban eights, inverted somethings, does not matter what as long as I have improved by the end of the session - mission accomplished. Every one crashes part an parcel of what we do just need to minimize the avoidable risks and get on with it.BRR

small croc clip connected to the plug sorts out those useless rubber jobs and stays connected for ages

Ben the remote needle should not be an issue our club trainer is a remote needle and I see no issues on that front. You should always use a filter at least to fill the plane and to be safe in the fuel intake as the exhaust pumps unknowns into the tank. Don't forget to post the answer once you get it cracked it may help others pulling their hair out.  That's why there are so many bald people about they keep scratching their head wondering about things ;o) 

Cleaning of the carb/needle valve is a good step as debris can enter and have some weird effect especially what you are describing. Do you run the engine with an inline filter? do you fill up via a filter on the filling pipe ? Also check the screws that hold the carb on to the body as they can leak air also the head bolts.

Cant beat a bit of " Bling " at the flying field

Change of Tact here clubbed together and put in an order for 10 mixed cases of Optifuel and with the additional discount and free delivery Optifuel is now the fuel of choice for the price conscious Modeller. Happy flying

Still wont stop me buying an 14MZ if I can get " Wife approval" that is the hard bit

Tomeasy answer boys and toys ;o) but honestly if you fly Helies and planes then you you need the screen to set up the pitch curves and throttle curves on the helli.Why doe the 14MZ cost so much answer because the possibilities are limitless does it make you fly any better NO. all the best Ralph

I have built 2 of these The Pizazz they are the fore runner to the hanger9 twist. The plans are accurate free and easy/medium to build. The flying of the plan is great full 3D but not as precise as the twist but cheaper and a good throw about model.

great for sticking on canopy's and if you need to get them off Hot air gun and they come off great stuff.

Alan c is correct the engine needs about 25 mins @ 180 C in the oven. Sound like a chef
