Thanks George,

Yes all the wooden parts are glassed with 3/4 oz cloth, sprayed in Deltron automotive paint then the whole model clear coated. There are more pics of it on page 85. My model was in the first batch that came to Australia and it had a lot of flights but the trim started to peel off too many times for my liking. It was the white blue scheme.

Cheers and Merry Christmas to all,

Dave

I dropped an air retract on the floor and broke off the elbow from the end of the cylinder. I've got the threaded part out, just need to find a replacement and some spares. M3 thread I think. Anyone know a stockist please. Many thanks, Harvey.

Nexus Models sell them.

Its the elbow I'm after, I have loads of straight nipples but the wheel hits the air pipe. The elbow keeps it clear. Thanks.

Found the Festo swivel type at Nexus. Unable to post link for some reason.

Hi

as Stevew76 as linked to the straight fittings I am assuming it the other one you have broken. The ones with a 90' elbow.
I have found these (FESTO 90 DEGREE NIPPLE M3 THREAD) not only are they 90'
but the elbow rotates and allows easier lining up.......

regards

Thanks sauntson. Looks like I'm sorted.

Thinking one of these and my kingtech 70g2 might be a nice light setup for tight fields, what do you experienced guys think?.

I flew mine on a wren 70 and she flew great, didn' have vertical performance but flew around with authority.

so you should be absolutey fine.

you may wish you had a 100n if off grass

We have three in my local club that have P-60’s and fly from our grass 300’ strip with no issues

My wren 70 with a little take off flap took of grass no problem.

Wren 80DCi since 3 years in my case, no probs from concrete or grass. More than enough vertical performance.

Got 60m of tarmac surely that should see her up and away and a whole 90m of grass to get her back down, its CMFC Dave. Watched the p60 video she will be fine.

Dave Wilshere

Cumbernauld. You’ll be fine.

Ive seen one of these flown on a Wren SS also.
As you have been informed. It took off OK from a grass strip and was a nice controlerable Aircraft.
Not balistic but nice and steady......

enjoy

Jets Munt VT80 in mine, nice light model and no extra weight needed in the nose, take off from 50 metre grass strip, vertical performance is excellent.

Greetings Gentlemen,

I am very pleased to report that since installing my retracts and the associated airlines and valves etc. I checked this morning and they have held a pressure of 100psi for just over 7 weeks.

Wow!

Are current builders using the supplied air tubing? Mine seems to split very easily and Im not going to use it. I left a piece on a nipple and was away for a fortnight, when I returned it was split. Any alternatives or reccomendations before I try Fleabay. Any help appreciated.
