Philly.. Ive got some high torque cheapies here if you want... Super Tec
think i had some of those once, all went t*ts up.
think 591's are 13.99 retail, thats UK with VAT retail... think... maybe i check a mag as soon as i've unglued my finger from F10.
maybe if they are more trustworthy than before....
you do the same thing as 7dayshop and send lots of little 18 quid bags to bypass the criminals???, sorry, customs

i've almost got a fuz ere all this CNC lark is great! i've got F2 with a book on it, and the tail is perfectly lined up. gotta go in the shed in a min and get some thin cyno and get wicking.

b inverted hey.... terry davies and steve vine didnt believe i had a propper B untill i told them it was on a pee yellow bit of paper
inverted tho, umm might need a Capiche to prove i can do it bet i cant yet


If I crane my neck I might just be able to see whats going on
we dont fly that high


I'm slowly getting all the bits together for the c50 - just the uc and spats to go
reminds me, my S1's should have been here by now...

hinges, cr&p! forgot those... wanted to try these island ones out too, umm maybe if you bring some with you... i can fit them first thing saturday morning

---------------------------------------------------------------------
sorry to hear about your job phil, but i would have to agree with the above!!!. me, on the other hand=pure beefcake,(im not fat, im just big boned!)

is that sophie i see in the background of the fuz shot?


i found some 28 gram mini servos with 5.4 kilos of power.
hillcott electronics do them, not sure on quality though,
the good news is the price--------just 10 squids each

"Same rules apply C strutt".

Should be a real good weekend. I have always liked flying at "Hells mouth" The field lends it self to really low knife edge tricks must be the horizon to horizon vista and the crown of the field and the beer!!!

Is Choppy attending?

Now Calm down you lot....

Right Hercmate... as far as your outstanding bits are concerned can I safely assume that you will be contacting Island Hobbies for your engine, Pipe, Spats and UC?


Philly... you waiting from Carbon Copy or me.... I dont have you on the list and I do have the spats in stock dependant which type you want.
I will check on the price of those Super Tecs my figure was just a guess, but they do have a better spec on paper than the 591s.

Graham and everyone... yes the hinges are now in... standard size for the 50 and bigguns for the 140 (Baron I will send you some of the bigguns).
Plan to do introductory offer of £1.50 a pack of standard (20) and £2.00 for the bigguns (24) for anyone who sends me a self addressed and stamped envelope with the required cheque. Price will go up by about 10-20% after that period.
Confident... absolutely... its all I use now and Ive been using them for about 7 years.... bullet proof.

Graham, why do you ask... I sent you some already and you used them on the Capiche... you want more ?

Just come in from the workshop with a beer....
ahhhh

he was flying a kyosho seduction, rolling circuits about 3 foot off the deck, low k/e, etc etc

i am going to be flying one of your easy streets in the leccy slot,
standard setup- graupner speed 600 race and eight 2400 nicads, goes very well- nice design

what about bringing a mini jazz, i love those little things,
ive had two now, one had an argument with a tree- and lost.
the second i built myself from the plan last year, and i lost that to a dodgy switch on the second flight
i am going to build another though- they are very cheap to build, a bit of 1/16th and 3/16th.

Graham

Standard are ave 15mm wide... Large are a little over 20mm..

Intro Price is £1.50 for pack of 18 standards and £2 for pack of 24 large.

This price applies when other stuff is being ordered at the same time or if ordered individually that customer sends self addressed and stamped envelope along with a cheque for the required amount dependant on how many packs are ordered.

Prices will go up after intro period.

cheers

Im sorry and surprised about that you are not getting replies from Carbon Copy.

I represent Island Hobbies, and spoke only this week to them about following up on international orders.

please email me at the following address, and I shall pursue the enquiry for you.... Im sorry that you have experienced problems..

[email protected]

err....hadn't thought that far ahead I must admit, tho like philly I forgot that hinges would be required!! I want the gucci carbon uc and spats, though a bog standard canopy and cowl will be ok. Do Island Hobbies sell the West 50t1 and pipe? Are they cheaper than Weston do it? Anyways I don't mind where the bits come from, just don't want to put any noses outta joint

I WILL be starting my c50 on Monday when I get back from seeing my new nephew at the weekend. Its my plan to have it done and flying by the Essex fly-in (whenever that may be in Sep). I will speak to the mistress of the house about next weekend tonight too...........

I'd also like to try the B cert inverted test to win a go on a c50 tho I don't think the car is big enough to bring that many planes down

like the old immovable object meets the irresistable force thing

is that sophie i see in the background of the fuz shot?
it tis, the photo looks it, but she really wasnt shaking her head at me

and i fly better than phil
who won the fly for fun? you fly good, you fly lots, i just fly better for now.. unless i get out more, YAY! unemployment and a Capiche to play with


Should be a real good weekend. I have always liked flying at "Hells mouth"
Sooooooooo many people tell us that, great laid back atmosphere is normaly the reason given


Philly... you waiting from Carbon Copy or me
Carbon Copy, they didn't have any at Woody, so took my name and address to send on. already paid for. talking of which, i forgot what size wheels i need

sounds good on the Hinges, are 18 enough for a Capiche? quick head counts says 20, 4 per surface. if you've not gone back in the beer tent lets talk servos.

i am going to be flying one of your easy streets in the leccy slot, standard setup- graupner speed 600 race and eight 2400 nicads, goes very well- nice design [/B]
Martin might not be flying this year ( tell you later ) but it looks liek we found your new brown noser Malc


what about bringing a mini jazz,
think he means a balsa pack too

Do Island Hobbies sell the West 50t1 and pipe? Are they cheaper than Weston do it?
Awwww shush mines on the way down now, good price, dunno wanna know i could have done better lol

your car is getting fuller and fuller malcolm!

yep, lots of coupling with the rudder on the m j.

get yer arse in gear phil, you should have that built by now!

those panthers seem to be addicted to inverted landings, ive done fin scraping high alpha passes with mine but once the fin is touching, theres no more down elevator left!
ive bent two needle valves doing that

i do believe gwyn mentioned putting wheels on top of his mini-bipe for the display!

heres gwyn doing a low pass, the first person to guess the distance from the ground to the fin wins a dodgy vietnamese artf
