Default RE: wind problems


Thanks Andy,
The weather link is very handy especially since it shows my local air field which is just up the road.
I would like a 40 size as my next plane but they mostly seem to be glow motors and I don't want to go down that road. To convert to a glow deign to EP means understanding the relationship between motor batter prop plane weight flying style ect all of which is at this time way out of my comfort zone.
The only thing I have found which also has a couple of large build threads us the Hanger 9 Sopwith Camel and even that has a large debate over the recommended power46 size motor is ok or if it is better to go up to a 60.
I have looked in a couple of shops at what is there but they are all very glow orientated apart from basic EP trainers.
I am advised by a couple of shops to keep my search down to J Perkins supplied products due spares availability being good from them and I now under stand that it is unusual for the wings not to be removable so that is one concern that is sorted, any way I will just have to spend more time on research I guess.
Regards
Alistair
