    WD40 also cleans hammerite off brushes
  2. Hi all, Just come across this thread and panicked, I'd run out of balsaloc. Now I did have some Screwfix No Nonsense PVA . Well on trying it 50 50 mix with water that was a no go. Mixing with a little water so that it's not too gooey worked after leaving it to go tacky or very nearly dry. Obviously not all PVA's are the same. Regards Lee

  4. My non pumped evo10gx is cowled in my T180 and like Bob said simply fill up and go. Needle twiddling not necessary. Lee
  5. Yes Steve I generally use a 12x6 but I've got a 13x6 on my T180 like you say pros and cons. Regards Lee
  6. Hi John, I remember you watching me fly the pt19 shown in my avatar, I was with Mark Bates. Hope to get over more now the caravan season is ending. Regards Lee
  7. Hi John, you've obviously missed seeing mine at the field. I've got 3 of the 10gx mk1 type without the pump. I much prefer them to my glows, rain, snow, blow hot or cold they just run. 20:1 mix just like my mates 4 stroke petrol saito.
  8. I'll second that, had mine a few years fitted with an Irvine 46 it's a very stable model. I didn't like the supplied tank or fittings. Regards Lee
  9. Hi William, sorry to hear about your woes, I've got 2 evo10gx's that use exhaust pressure and had no problems. I use the original supplied tubing in the tank because it keeps flexible and from the tank to exhaust and its never melted. I wonder if this was mistakenly shipped with the wrong tubing. I believe the correct stuff is VITON part number EVOA104 which doesn't go hard like tygon and will take the heat from the exhaust. Regards Lee Edited By Lee Damms on 26/10/2016 16:47:04
  10. Forgot to say your 28.6mm is 1.125inches 1.1/8in Lee
  11. Trebor, I have the latest Irvine's and certainly the 46 and 53 have imperial at one end of the crank and metric at the other . Even model fixings qoute in metric tho ie. 9.525mm this is actually 3/8in. If it doesn't measure whole mm then 10 to 1 its an imperial bearing. Regards Lee
  12. Erfolg, I've always been with BT and had no problems, perhaps I've been lucky. I think when things go wrong they can all be bad. The only thing I would say is deal with a firm that has onshore fault reporting if you can find one and that doesn't guarantee anything even then, sorry to be so cynical. Regards Lee
  13. Hi, Buffy Mines powered by an emax2812 145w motor using 1300mah 3s lipos it's more than ample to power it. I covered mine in litespan if you do a search in the keyword box for matador you'll see at least mine and Chris Botts build blogs. I increased the rudder size a little and would also recommend increasing the elevator size by a small amount. I needed down and right thrust plus 20grammes of lead in the nose. I found litespan a pig to use and if I ever recover her it will be in solartex dispite it's weight. Good luck. Lee
  14. Hi Bob, Unfortunately I don't yet he brought it to the field brand new in the box. When I next see him at the field I'll ask. I don't know anyone else that's got one Regards Lee
