How about breaking the plastic off map pins?

The squat broad plastic ones.

+1 for the safety bench - our club has 2 and they are excellent.

We have added a small angled shelf on one side to rest your TX on and make sure the carpeted uprights are tall enough to take high wingers.

Rob, put a drop of water on or better in with a syringe and then dry with your covering iron - should lift the ding out.

Just a marker to show that as one of the original voters for the GTC I have made a start.

Ribs cut 2 at a time buy tacking 2 sheets of balsa together with a glue stick (5 for £1 at pound shop) then sticking the photocopied ribs on. As the nacelles needed 4 balsa and 4 ply I made a 3mm MDF template to ensure they were all identical.

As mine will be almost standard except for twin aileron servos with the possibility that I may add flaps. I won't be doing a log as it will be just duplication.

Head says electric but my heart says IC and as this is effectively a trainer for one of Richards BF110 Warbirds (2 x .61 ASP) which is sat waiting in the box, it has to be IC with a pair if SC .15's.

A few years ago but still .

Before landing the pilot found that its front wheel got stuck and didn't come down while landing. So when he informed the control tower who planned to keep a truck in the place of front wheel, but the problem is while the front portion of plane falls on the truck it should not shake, and the other important point is that the speed of the plane and the speed of the truck must be same, otherwise the plane could slip down and cause an accident But one driver came forward to do this and he did accurately and saved all the passengers in the plane. Now you can enjoy the video.

Ok I believe it was a publicity stunt but done very well

"Awesome" doesn't do the achievement justice.

"I would be interested to know if you’ve tested this fuel?"

Ron - a quick search back will highlight quite a previous debate on Prosynth in Lasers with IIRC Jon expressing quite a strong view.

The area I have previously tested on which is usually out of site, is the wing area facing the inside of the fuz.

As Simon mentioned make sure you mask off well to prevent any overspray.

Used boiling antifreeze a number of times and :-

A - Works really well

B - Toxic (outdoors only)

C - Stinks

D - now have very clean "silver" Irvine 53's

New poster for "Gimbals R Us"

We are a fixed wing club with a single 60m TO/L circle, with no dedicated multi/Heli members. However if an existing member wanted to have a go its only by consent of those present.

As Jon mentioned - Polycell, "Advanced quick drying Polyfilla." And yes it does feel empty when you pick it up.

You can even mix in a little water based acrylic brown to tint it balsa in small batches.

His skill is superb but its his banter that makes it great.

"WoW" skeleton airframe in 3 hours- even if it took a day is quick - like it

Cheers Tim for the reassurance. I could probably give most a good run in who has the most tools wins competition - its time that is in short supply and a short cut is always welcome if available.

My fav tool is a bench combi disc/belt sander.

I know "cut " was a figure of speech but for clarity, just lift the plastic tab and remove the red wire from one esc plug and tape it back. You can then replace it later and use the esc as normal in another model

Spoken to Sarik this morning and they are happy for me to pass on that a CNC kit is planed and should be available early to mid Jan, sorry no indication on cost.

Looks as though i will have to do it the traditional way over Christmas.

"John, Sarik are producing a CNC kit of the Grumpy TC, in time for the 1st of Jan start date"

Has anyone any further details on the CNC kit such as when and how much? Only I don't want to invest a load of time transferring and cutting out a kit only to finish at the same time ones available

Trebor, if you have or access to an ultra -sonic cleaner, you may find that will dislodge the internal crud faster.

2w - curious as to why you want to fuel proof the whole aircraft? Have you painted the whole airframe and need to protect it?

Only if you have used film or coloured solartex they are fuel proof, although tex can sometimes get grubby.

Another for clearcoat around the engine/tank and any other exposed wood such as wing seat etc.
