This is from the build post and inconclusive

I have the feeling that they were flat too

But take a fresh look at the plan for a straight or angled dihedral brace

Home and Bargain outlets in the UK

Have flying models David

Wall charger for your nimh Mark on ebay

Fusion NX83 Transmitter and Receiver Delta Peak AC NiMh NiCd RC Charger FS-NX83

Have only come across this with near flat Rx pack, or faulty flight switch

These tough props 8 x 4

Supplier liquidated last year

For flying in various conditions Barry, I use a variety of lipos with an 8 x 4 sports prop.

Due to belly landings, I use a tough black prop unknown make

The 12v motor gives the option of 2S or 3S packs, from 500 - 800mAh

In light breeze conditions, the 2S is fine for flight and in windier conditions I have a heavy 800ma 3S

You have it Cliff

All my 1S are not all suitable in all my micro models

You can hear some " brick" types filling up and whirring before flight, just zeroing in

Suggesting more power is required in a particular model

On the multimeter most 1S will show 4.2v even when down on capacity

Some fully inflated almost useless 1S can show 4.0v

David beat me to it

My throttle does the same on failing cell

A fresh cell normalised the control

Where a normal cell is normally 3.7v

Spektrum Rx shut off at 3.3v

On my TV remote Gary

The " Aspect " button is right next to the power button

And easily interfered with accidentally

Check this button

It is a line drawing of a TV screen

With arrows up, down, side, side

Press it !

No need to start WW3 Nigel

We have always flown " Line of Sight ", so the " Secretary " could assist by putting out an email, or your club form of communication, relating to what is expected of in the pilots box

Maybe have a word with a trusted colleague at your site, and see what they say

Over the years Nigel, I personally have caused many flyers to leave the club

Not by being impolite or being a jobsworth

But for looking for increased safety

Looking out for my self and others and our neighbours living nearby

You are not compromising safety

They are, and we feel awkward

We constantly revise what we should be doing

We are all better off without these competent great flyers who risk it for everyone

You are right Colin

An ESC does the least amount of work at Full Throttle

As at this setting, the battery is almost connected directly to the motor

At say 50% throttle, the ESC is working hard maintaining the lower output from the supply, and getting hot

Tootling round at low throttle makes the ESC work hard and could account for frying

And is why it is best to go up some margin on ESC Amp rating

Have not got the Arrows T28 John

But have flown this size and larger.

In general, the T28 is an ideal flyer in model form

C of G on a trike is always in front of the main wheels in order to rotate at take off too

Just in front of the main wheels looks a good start point then adjust after further flights

This livery is spectacular

I too made enquiries a few weeks ago Ken, and I drew a complete blank

FB

We carry on as normal, and fly

Weather permitting

While the cogs of progress continue to turn, and offices have had time to complete the work

If you fly Tim, you pay £9

26 x 10 - 12, 28 x10

Just for information and comparison Nigel

The Aeromaster does look the business

I know Bipes have loads of drag, but in my view, at 48" is still 8 foot of wing to carry weight

And this size, including my bi-fly, come out a heavy 7.5 - 8lb

BUT my 4ft span bipe goes like a Rocket already on a Saito 62, so what will an OS91 do

Also the 91 is relatively quiet, and a nice motor, and you have one

And 60s are relatively quiet too in 2 stroke

You decide
