I am having trouble cancelling my subscription. I was directed by phone to send an e-mail but I am still having the mag delivered. I don't want to go into great detail here as I feel an error has been made. My question is ' is there an easy way to cancel, and if not why not. Edited By Michael Wright on 13/10/2020 22:03:39

Thanks for the replies, Simon, I have spent what feels like hours getting the mechanical geometry as close as possible to perfect, I could not belive how long it took! so I am happy there. Frank, I think my problem lies within your answer, I will look again today when 'The Strife' lets me escape and hide in my shed! I will report back with my findings.

Hi, I have what I feel to be an odd one here, I have read the article by Andy Ellison on the use of snap flaps. I have set the wing up correctly in my Spektrum dx9, done the relevant suggested programming and although I get the ailerons going down together , the right one drops a little more than the left. Has anybody come across this? Can anybody explain why it is happening and a possible cure? All advice welcome!

Hi, I have just had a less than perfect landing with my HobbyKing Voltiguer,....yes I know , ..a bad approach often leads to a bad landing!....and the live hinge has split on the right side of the elevator. I am thinking of repairing it in the following way as the split is so clean. UHU Por for the hinge it'self and following this with a length of 'Blenderm' tape on both sides of the hinge. I used this method on the rudder of my 'Wargo Yak' when it failed on the building board. I throw this Yak around like mad and the repair has stayed put for a whole season with no sign of failing. I would like your views on this please. regards Mike

Thanks for the replies. It seems that I am not alone in this. It is interesting that we are all suffering more away from the close up zone. We also conducted tests with people on the boundary fence and had the same result, the plane looks closer than it is in reality. A lot of we problem is having to land in fields that are a little small for the size of plane we fly here. Regards Mike

Hi everybody, first off I am not a 'newbie' flyer, I have been flying for many years in many disciplines...trainers, wot4's, warbirds,gliders,EDF's, and 3D. My question is this, how common is poor depth of field placement, ie 'am I over the boundary hedge line yet'? hitting trees when I could have sworn that my plane was between me and the tree by a good distance? Just interested in the experience of others. regards Mike

Thanks for the replies everybody. Soren, I will be going the route you mentioned, by the way I programed my DX9 as per your video and it is BRILLIANT !! thanks again for your advice! kind regards Mike

Hi, looking for more advice please! I have now got my Multiplex Heron up and running and enjoying great thermal flights. I am starting to think that a vario would be nice but I have no idea what to get. The set up I have is a Spektrum DX9 (black edition) and a Lemon 10 channel rx. What would you suggest? kind regards Mike

Hi Speedster, sometimes I could just kick myself in the ass! I was trying to do it from the camber menu and quite rightly I should have been in the camber presets....all sorted and working now thanks to your advice! Cheers! Mike

Well, thanks to peoples help and advice here and with further advice from John Lee I am slowly getting the programing for my Multiplex Heron sorted out. My current problem is trying to get my DX9 to add a little reflex in the speed flight mode and camber in the thermal flight mode. Everything I try is not working, so .please any help would again gladly received! Kind regards Mike

Thanks everybody for the replies, ...yes am using a Sektrum DX9. I think that I would prefer crow on the throttle stick so I will use the suggestions of John Lee Also I think all replies are valid and have helped me think this through, thanks once again to everybody for replying! kind regards Mike

Hi, I am an experienced power flyer and have been given a 'Multiplex Heron' as a gift. My intention is to set it up with flaps so that I can set up 'crow' ,camber, reflex etc , I will be using a 'Lemon' 10 channel RX and I have realized I do not know what goes where when plugging in separate ailerons and separate flaps. (I would like to use separate flaps so that in certain flight modes I can combine them to achieve full wing length ailerons) Any help and advice would be much appreciated! Thanks Mike

Hi, I am looking for an Precision Aerobatics X , I don't seem to be able to find one, are they no longer made?

With my experience of bad flap servos and very poor quality links, and the thing I find really telling: the other crashes, on maidens, with video on youtube to back it up all suggesting servo/links failure. I think that is the answer! Too many planes doing the same thing from the same company!

It is interesting! I went over from Futaba to Sektrum because I could take advantage of BNF aircraft and I have had plenty over the years with not one radio related crash (it's trees with me,....they are plane magnets see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BC3yYF399g&t=3s   I am flying the edf! Having said that ,as you say, with a little digging we can see that maybe all is not well in their camp. I have a long standing flying mate who has had constant problems with a DX6i. when he got himself a new DX6 all his problems vanished!
