Have used PVC too from SLEC

The pilot registers Tony, not the models

If you do not fly then you have no need to register

Chris

The build is so strong and lightweight

The model must become a dream to fly

Tremendous picture Michael

Screen wash is the chosen thinner for acrylic paints and emulsions by sprayers as this easily

Breaks down surface tension like soap or washing up liquid

For your first foray into spraying just get the cheapest to start with

If you take to spraying everything, then go the expensive route later Phil

For now £10 - £12 airbrush will do, and a small compressor, £40 or less pre owned

Come back if you get some kit and I will advise on improving your gun and spray pattern with your existing modelling skills

To add, choose a dual action trigger airbrush

Agree with Martin Mc

The Laser 80 is comfortable in the 10lb range nearer 4kg models

Make up from thin piano wire Den, on thin ply mounts, it can be done

The model weighs around 1lb

Simplest way is to complete your upgrade on a friend's Windows PC

But Windows do have software to run Windows on Apple Mac.

I hung on with Apple from the late 80s until 1998, then gave in and bought a PC

If it is this one Bob, then they are Swann Morton blades

Chris, the original post from Phil 9 mentions the Orange V2

These stabilizers just fit between your make of receiver and your servos

So these stabilisers are not receivers, but are add ons and are low cost.

Lemon have a 6 channel DSMX stabilizer receiver suitab!e for Spektrum for under £30

The Select Committee are buried with the trials and tribulations of the Thomas Cook affair presently

So there may not be much time for the model flyers at the moment

I think no one has replied yet Mark, as suitable sound systems do break the bank

The lower priced units tend to get drowned out by the motor

And cannot be heard other than over a short distance

All good reasons to make one

Every time David, for years and years, servos move at startup

In fact, you would think there was a pilot in my Cub, testing the rudder and ailerons each time

Agree with Cuban

A good supply pack will hold the servos centred and still in relation to Tx sticks at neutral

As the voltage drops below satisfactory, the servos will operate wildly as described in the OP

I believe the Rx pack dropped voltage too low.

4 strokes, .60 and up are pretty quiet to start with,

Experts recommend against this, but I soft mount all mine and all are below 82db

BTC , spot on

Motor Availability

Posted by Pete B - Moderator on 04/06/2011 23:50:45:

When it continually spat out magnets, I replaced my Turnigy 4250 650kv with the XYH equivalent. Unfortunately and yet again, GC's stocking ability leaves something to be desired............

I've found this motor to be very much smoother and quieter than the Turnigy - and with more than enough power for my E-Flite Beaver. Timbo's option seems to be for a 5 or 6S setup, so could this be more suitable for a 4S setup?

XYH motors are 4max Purple Power Geoff
