Does anyone have - or know of an Airworld Gee Bee R3 that they might wish to sell ? Anything considered, possibly needing some repair work maybe ? Or, indeed an unstarted project ? Please get in touch if you would like to part with it . .
regards Glenn

I'm on the lookout for a Scalewings Lavochkin LA7 - maybe an unstarted project or moderate crash damage considered ? Also, would there be an Airworld Gee Bee R3 lurking in anyones workshop ? Very much a long-shot but here's hoping . . .
regards Glenn

Good Morning, Brian is correct regarding the oil content ratio, but It shouldn't really prevent it from running ? I would be checking the pulse pump flexible pipe to check that it is clear ? Other than that, I would be stripping the carb to see if there was any jellified oil/fuel remains within the ...

Not yet Stuart . . . It is residing in my poor mums garage looking sorry for itself ! Its all glassed and ready for paint etc. Life has been getting in the way of my hobby - thats the problem !!

I seem to recall Exclusiv modelbau made a kit/plan for that size of christen eagle John ?
cheers Glenn

It's with very great sadness that I have to report the passing of my friend Bob Thompson. Bob has been battling with a serious illness over the last few months and unfortunately lost his fight over the weekend. Bob has been chairman to the Langar model aircraft club for many years and was always rea...

I have for sale a Moki 400 Radial which has only been run a handful of times from new. It is in 1st class condition and will come with an appropriate 2 bladed propellor for immediate use. Of course, I would like to sell outright but I would consider swaps and/or part ex, particularly for anyone wish...

Hello Peter . . You've not got a jerry bates chipmunk tucked away in your considerably impressive hangar looking for a new home ?
cheers. Glenn

Still on the lookout ? anyone know of anything ?

Hi, I'm on the lookout for a nice example of a Chipmunk to 1/4 scale, or thereabouts. I would prefer the bare airframe, with or without servos etc. I would consider other similar "flying site friendly" scale subjects ? Please let me know if you have a nice example to sell, or indeed, if yo...

Lets hear some more about the actual gills and how they will operate ? It will be tricky to create the mechanism for reliable use thats not over complex. I know the fullsize F4U uses a cable that tightens to close against sprung open gills. . . this would result in a lot of moving parts within a str...

I think it will be the cowl gill hinging kit and operating mechanism that will cost the money - not to mention the hours of model making to make it happen. A good project for its own sake though ? After all that work I think I would want an overide by-pass control to amaze my friends with because, u...

. . . you can say that again !

I cant argue with your using whatever info one can get with modern radio gear John. I am exposing my luddite self here - not really moving with technology that is available to us these days . . . In my defence, I will say that when my aircraft is strafing past myself at a pace with the engine singin...

My advice , especially where radial engines are used, is to concentrate efforts to control air coming into the cowl rather than worrying about gill flaps and the like . . . use ducting and baffles to control the cooling air over the cylinders. If you use automatic devices to open the gill flaps, cha...

Give vortex plastics a call Alan, they might have one to fit . . .

It goes on to say that Model Flying was never prohibited - just the journey to get there !

That is correct Frank . . the carb itself will regulate the fuel flow through the regulator valve. Having the tank a little higher will help with fuel draw from a cold start . . . cheers

Thanks all for your messages and calls. I have ended up doing something similar to your description Charlie. . . my main issue initially was that i had assigned channel five and labelled it with *gyro*. Doing this, I have since discovered, introduces a pre ordained mix arrangement that appears to be...

Thanks for the replies chaps . . . I will try the servo 1st steve, as you say, it will confirm basic settings etc. Frank, you are right about the fact I don’t know for sure whether the gain is adjusting or not. But it’s a bit vague should that be the case. I need to get a response to channel 5 on th...
