Oh no. I always looked on him as indestructible. Sorry to hear we have lost a gentleman of his calibre. A lovely man and a true engineer.

Re: Convair YF2Y-1 Sea Dart

There was a program on tv about it the other night. It seems vibration of the skis, especially in rough water, was a major problem. Despite that, the pilots loved it.

Re: New Zenoah 38cc

One point- 19x10 props (the ideal size) can vary quite a lot. Make sure you use a decent make, Xoar, Menz etc. I have some 19x10 ones that have no pull at all.

Re: Re: Covid-19 safety EDITED

Re: Flying

Its perfectly sensible, if you walk past someone on your daily walk, you stay two metres away. Stay at least that on the field and its safe enough. Remember, outside is far less dangerous than inside! Shopping is still the riskiest thing.

Hitec Aurora 9x

I had not realised Hitec have stopped making transmitters- so I have 10 receivers and only one Tx, if it goes wrong I'm stuffed. I can find Aurora 9s, but if anyone has a 9x for sale I would be interested.

Re: Modellers, doing there bit,

There has in the past been moans and groans about the younger guys in model flying, but these lads have stepped up to the mark and are flat out producing these face masks for the NHS and doctors etc. Give us more details please David Berry, I like to try to promote these things on social media.
