  1. Thanks Alve, that's good to know. I took my first foray into petrol with an ngh25, but for me it was too noisy on it's standard silencer and the manifold screw fixing distance was bigger than the DLE size; so the smaller ngh9 with a standard fit exhaust is good, and I do like the Wot4. Could be a nice winter hack.
  2. It's OK Alve. Just wondered wether it was the same as a 2 stroke glo with the quiet silencer on it, or wether it was noisier like normal standard 2 stroke petrols.
  3. Alve How loud is the engine on the quiet silencer exhaust.
  4. Mine is a 3s 2150 mah 25C lipo. Turns over 2s, 4st and my 25 cc 2 st petrol.
  5. That's what I have. An Align starter and a Lipo glo starter. The Align starter is brilliant but costs.
  6. It is a clever design, but I didn't want to chance hangar rash with flight boxes and a couple of planes. Then I just wanted to go with minimal equipment to the flying field, which was the main reason, but if your having problem bending down then the great mate is ideal for assembling the plane and starting. For the cost, it was very well constructed. Mines a keeper, still looks new, when the time comes I may need it. At Weston Park I also saw him with a load of brackets to allow planes to be held securely in the car in holders, like the ones on the great mate.
  7. I've got one as well.I also bought with it, the transmitter support and brackets,starter holder,magnetic tray holder with tray,sidewinder support,extended support to tail for larger aircraft,extended outrunner legs for larger planes, and finally wheels to convert it to a truck. Used to use it a lot when I flew heli's, but when I changed to planes, I found it took up too much room in the car. Preferred to put in another spare plane; so I just now use it as a work stand. It was a bit heavy too; stretching in the car to put it in and out. Although I still have it if my knees start playing up.
  8. It's good being sensible, but waiting for 0 wind can be too cautious. I remember when I started flying in my club, I always used to wait for a perfect day, but the trouble was, i only flew 4 times in a year. After 4 years I retired, and said this is silly I'll never learn, so I started flying every time with my instructor, and passed my A the following year. You've just got to go and fly, the instructors their to help.
  9. Wrexham 2279 for me. Flight Sergeant and then instructor. Those were the days. Battling it out with Hawarden in the Drill competitions; Singing those unmentionable songs,in the back of the bus on the way home from Shawbury. Brings back memories. Use to call me Noddy, as I was always falling asleep in the pub. And why was it the barman always used to ask me was I over eighteen, when I was the only one there who was. Great days.
  10. I though the orange colour would be OK , but it's a bit flat . Not like a fluorescent orange. It does build quickly though, and fly's well. Had trouble logging on to this site, and only got back on today, that's why the late call on colour.
  11. The Calmato is a great plane; though don't get orange. With orange you loose sight of the wings in turns if you take it further out. Watch the covering; it does tear easily, and the u/c does bend, but it,s OK. Tried to get an OS 55 in mine , for more power over the ASP46 but the OS was a bit too wide. One of the lads in the club bought a calmato60, but after flying it for a while he thought he would have preferred the 40 size. The Calmato is a great choice. I may get another one.
  12. With my cougar , I fly straight, then roll, and just before inverted apply down elevator. This pushes it up slightly when it comes inverted. Continue the roll, and just before upright apply up elevator. Which again pushes the plane up. From there keep the roll going and do exactly the same thing again. Start practicing with one roll, and as others said ,with a little up, before you commence the roll, then once you,ve got the timing right , continue with two. It,s just getting the elevator movement right at the right time in the roll, or you will just push the plane out off line. Edited By Max50 on 29/09/2015 07:59:27

    KAOS 60 ARTF

    Yeah. I like the look of this one too. Don't mind chubby. Plenty of room. Plus I like the wing shape: not just your parallel cord. Looks OK.. Plenty of engine for a 62" as well. Nice ! .
  14. I had problems u/g from W7 to W10. Had ESET Smart Security. They said it would install straight over , but it didn't like it. So I un-installed the ESET virus checker , then up graded to W10, and then re-installed ESET. Up to now it's been working OK for a few weeks. No problems ( as I quickly look around for some wood to touch ) ​
  15. Mine at the moment is my Weston Cougar 2000 with an old OS35 FP. It's normally my winter hack, until I pick my next low/mid wing aero. May go down to Whitchurch Models tomorrow and have a look around.
