David has anybody suggested a call or e mail to Mike Ridley to discuss your problem radio and see if he advises a repair or new radio ???

Many links on here to his workshop repairs or a google search

Do you think they will have to put the batteries into storage mode ??

Read an article the other day where the canals in Venice are running cleaner and dolphins see in Italian waters

Back in the early 70`s I had swopped an Electronic Calculator for a 2.46 ED engine and fancied something easy to control so made a home made Hovercraft. First trial test flight found it wanted to spin due to prop revs so added some vertical fins but this not improve things. It was getting out of control and went to grab it and as above but took the skin off my thumb end by 1/4 " . I then stamped on it to stop it and threw the project in the bin ( Not the Engine )

Never fancied one since even with improved engines radio control etc but maybe electric is the safer way to go

So the 2019 Winter Flu jabs contained some of the latest 2018 Flu germs

What will happen this year ??

Dont Panic as Dads Army used to say

My view is if one wire has gone others maybe suspect. My option was to replace the whole plug from a used connector. Just make sure you cut old wires individually and work on one wire at a time and solder up and heat shrink. Job done

Why bother rushing round shops to find Loo Rolls Plenty on sale at Amazon delivered to your homes

That`s a good one and will be sent to my Golfing friends

Trebor type in oowah in google and I A D should come up they also make a Toowah twin motor version

Hi All anybody took the chance to build the above model over the years , took the opportunity to buy one on Sariks latest 40% discount on Laser Cut wood packs ( Yorkshire man Deep Pockets Short Arms )

Last query was 10 years ago and person last on line 2012

Erfolg Treat yourself to some Pringles and enjoy the crisp then use the lid to mix resin then when resin hardened

Flex the lid as Peter M says and ready for next batch. Ask around if friends have any used tubes or to save them for you . I must have 20 or so donated to me

I always read the spec that' it needs a 4 cell or even 5 cell battery at 1.8kg

If some has the spec for 3 cell please let us know

Why not try SLEC the still offer the T240 kits

My Update Got the old mag with the free Taboo plan but the wing construction is lots and lots of work and not happy with all the curves needed. Just managed to trace the Twizzle plan and mag so see how this one pans out.

Anyone else tempted to build the Twizzle 

Happy Building

Hi Nigel I bought the Easy Street 2 and had to modify as follows

With the recommended motor on 11 x 5.5 prop it was fast and lasted about 4 1/2 mins dropped to a 10 x 5 and get the speed down and 5 1/2 mins

Also went for a simple wire undercarriage and its a dream to take off and land

I found that after the Window 10 saga some years ago that I needed to Optimise the system and now find after any updates an Optimise puts everything back where it should be

I was led to believe that the best way to check batteries capacity is to have a little bit of load on them using a suitable size resistor. I have recently purchased a Fusion product that puts a load across my IC reciever batteries and amazed that a green good to go light drops to an amber and be cautious

Maybe this could be set up for those lipo checkers units

I could only afford an Optic 6 and thought it was easy now on a Flash 8 and still admire Hitec systems

Hope you can get it sorted Robert C from Kansass
