You beat me to it

This is from the Instructions

Pairing

Place the transmitter and receiver within 2m of each other (but not less than

45cm) then power the transmitter ON.

45cm (18" to

200cm (78" apart

Power the receiver ON noting that the LED will initially flash red / blue, then

change to fast flashing red. For initial pairing the receiver must be powered

on within 5 seconds of the transmitter. Once paired this time constraint is no

longer necessary.

Just check Jon, schoolboy stuff

The throttle up, nose down trait, can be loose motor or motor mount

And on the elevator, just check Chris has left no expo in there

Paul, 10 x 6

The office of volunteers are having to work through the task of checking memberships are complete

So inevitable delays with batch printing

Both my deltas are Zero

You are right about the Bixler Twin Alex

Instead of a single motor spiralling air along the fuz,

With a twin motor mod to the wings, you get two lots of air squish over the wings

A great help at low speed

On eBay Chris

Just search your required size mm to mm

Male female etc etc

Vitor, try this

The Transmitter needs a Model Channel for Phoenix

The Transmitter needs a charged battery

The Transmitter is switched off from here

With the computer off, and the transmitter off continuously

Connect the USB dongle to the two devices

Start up the computer, and start up Phoenix

Your Transmitter will light up on your Phoenix channel

Follow Phoenix guidance from here

Do not revert to checking the computer

Phoenix will give you promps to identify your Transmitter and to set your sticks in all 4 corners of their control

Use the Phoenix menus

Humbrol do a Crystal Clear Acrylic Varnish George

And it is very matt

With electric, you should not need a varnish though

Use the Foam Safe CA if you havever one

Or a smear of Bostick will do it

Help, in general

Most 5 foot span ARTF come out around 7lb AUW, and trainer style around 6lb

How have we got to 8.5lb on this 5 foot span beautiful airframe?

Hi Bill, even without the manual, the C of G of many ARTF

Is On or very near the wing tube.

The wing tube is usually built at the thickest part of the airfoil in

the middle of the aeroplane where strength is needed

You have the manual which states 145 mm from Leading edge

On the wing tube line

Which is a really good starting point for C of G

Yes, my flying buddy has the Wilga with a 180 fitted, and it is well suited

Just be aware of the full length wing leading edge slats

They are not too delicate

But every time I help carry it, load it, or unload the model, I grab the leading edge and it is not like any other model

They can break

You are making a FORMER to MOULD the fuselage

SR71

There is half of a page listing on eBay Roger

Totally agree with Flight 1

Have a look at these previous posts Kevin

You can also see that the pilot is a cool customer, and a very adept flyer.

The model is constantly trying to lift it's nose, and appears to prefer a certain track

The pilot overcomes this in a controlled scew appearance.

Has already been said, that with power and squish all along the wing must be unique properties to fly
