Hi Gary

Happy new year

Don't forget the Zoom general meeting is tonight at 7.30. Important decisions have to be made and all members should be involved.

Details of the meeting and how to connect can be found in the emaills sent to you on Tuuesday 26th.

Is this an actual LMA flying day or a "private" rental of Elvington? I know there are some private events held there funded by individuals and these should not be confused with LMA days.
Maybe our new committee can advise ?????

Hi Alan

I have a Tartan 44cc twin and it does not need an ignition battery. I assume the set up is the same as the 22 single, it looks like it has a flywheel magnito in the back housing infront of the pull starter.
Hope this helps.

Sad news indeed. Loosing 2 founder members in such a short time. My thoughts are with their families.
There can only be a small handfull of the founder members left now.

Chris Your simplistic solution is favoured by many as the parts count is low and therefore there is less to go wrong. With the "power distribution box" option you have to be careful as there are many types on the market. The more high end ones have internal redundancy and electronic failsa...

Select "trim seperate" in the mix menu and then in the function menu set the trim for the second throttle (channel 5) to a knob or other slider.

Seperate battery for the retract system is the way to go. That wat there would be no risk of a retract problem pulling the voltage down to the receivers with the risk of a Brown out....or worse.

I see the latest scale of charges the CAA are going to impose from 1st April this year has raised the cost (again) for the annual registration of over 25kg models to £23. Way more than the annual rate of inflation so it looks like the CAA just trying to screw as much as they can out of the aviation ...

Hi Ian
I have a pair of Westlake 342 Cylinders, pistons and full set of rings. PM or give me a call if you want to discuss.

Hi All Happy new year. I need a Zenoah 20mm long prop driver for a new project. Any 20mm long prop driver from a ZG45, 62 or 74/80 will do. If you have one in your spares box and are willing to sell it please contact me on 07710 924721 or reply with your details on here and I will contact you. Thank...

Ian I am not a Spektrum user but if I recall correctly, if the remote receivers lose the signal (as would happen if you switched the RX off and back on again with the TX powered up) the orange lights flash to warn you of the signal loss. Although they are flashing, they are still working correctly. ...

I suspect that you need to set the failsafe in the "Powerbox" evolution and not in the transmitter.

John

Set the throttle stick to the position you want the failsafe to be and re bind.

John

The Ziroli DC3 model builds up to 12ft span and was designed around a pair on Zenoah 38cc motors.
