Re: PC10 paint & satin fuelproofer for WW1 models

Kevin , possibly you could contact Phil Clark at Fighter Aces , they sell the excellent Klascote paint which I believe includes PC10 colour , the gloss/satin/matt effect is adjustable via the type and proportions of the resin that you can mix , but I think its available in gloss and satin ? Best reg...

Re: Engine info wanted

Alan , I had one of these engines in the 1970,s but a glow version , If I remember correctly spun a decent size prop and was reliable , sold it to a club mate , later wished I had kept it ! Possibly you could fit a RcXel ignition unit which work really well ,and not difficult to fit , maybe first ch...

Re: Wanted: large 40-50% Cub style wheels

A caravan dealer may have the jockey wheels , typically about £15 each or you could try Ross Handling or similar outlets ?

Re: Aerofoil Choice

Nick , I know of many modellers who used the NACA 2412 and 2415 sections with very nice flying characteristics . Mr Cessna also used same sections on most of his aircraft , again with good results . Their are more modern sections often with a smaller nose radius that on paper should be better or rat...

Rob , Many thanks for your explanation , makes sense , (but this feature not on DSMX ), on my two flown models ( DSM2 RX,s) remote receivers not visible until you start removing covers, pilot etc and as such not noticed , but there all the time .

Spektrum AR9100 Receivers

I have used above receivers very successfully on my two thirds scale Hanriot HD1 Biplane and my Ponnier 1913 Racer , controlled by a JR 9 channel 2.4 ghz Transmitter But I am struggling with a new model that has two of the above receivers , successfully bound AR9100,s and remote RX,s to the transmit...

Re: Twin receivers

Sean , I had a look at the online manual for your rx , which seems a bit limited in detail , the real question is , are there any common components , that if they failed would prevent the rx working ?? and you loosing control of the model . Still favour two totally separate receivers which have no c...

Re: Twin receivers

I don,t really know the details of your receiver but doubt that it would be suitable on its own for an over 20kg model . The idea behind two separate receivers is that if one fails there is enough control on the remaining receiver and its servos to direct the model away from the public and throttle ...

Re: Mick Reeves 1/4.5 Hurricane

I would agree that a smaller engine would be inadequate , always better to have a reserve of power than not enough. It will sound better , fly better and the odd bit of engine /silencer sticking will not be noticeable in flight, but what will be apparent will be the more realistic flight that the la...
