Large Model Association Forum

I have been in informed via a club email that at the momrnt the CAA are not issuing any hight exemptions for models over 7 kilos.Is this correct?

Morning Arthur,found some Primol hidden in my shed,but does not seem to work with Hobby King iron on film.I am thinking of going down the double sided tape route.

Cary,thanks,I need it for canopy trim to match the fus,but cannot use a hot iron for obvious reasons.

Afternoon folks,site is very quiet.Back in the old days I seem to remember using a solvent that could be rubbed on to the back of Solarfilm and the like,this would then activate the adhesive to enable the film to be stuck down without using heat,Anyone out there know what the liqued was/is? Thanks i...

Enjoyed the current copy of journal,especially the Albatross one update.Is it possible for Mr Buckley to give us more information on the model,ie size,weight,engines,radio ect.The sort of information we would normally seek at one of the shows.Thank you,dont let the bug bite

Was it not 400 ft long before we had telemetry on our radio? We must want something to-do being on a forum Boxing day .I have built 3 models during lockdown,finished all my housework for the day,I will now try and workout how I have B up my Taranis radio.

Alex,another thing that you should be praised for ,is the quality of the photographs,please dont say they are taken on a mobile phone.I suspect that a lot of our members saw the 'Spitfire factory',what surprised me was the fact that when the Greek owners came to view their £2.5 million Spitfire,they...

Mr Sheppard,dont know you,wish I did.The hobby is helping me keep sane at the moment,I suspect that applies to a lot of us.
Best wishes

It was used to line the inside of fuel tanks on aircraft in WW2 and to line liqued gas tankers.So I think our toys have always been way down the list of preferd users.

Keep building

My twin has flown twice,so far.The two prop blades come together at the bottom.No problems,as yet, but only two flights in.

Thanks folks,I suspect it will be a case of suck it and see.It seems that there are at least 3 of us not at the pub.

I am looking at the front of the model,does the left motor rotate clockwise or anti clockwise.I want to use the ability of an electric motor to run in either direction, to avoid swing at take off,also less effect if power setups are not identical.Thank you in antisipation,as they say.

Elliot,many thanks for you reply,sorry my response is late,but I have only just seen your post.I am cutting a blue foam plug at the moment in preparation for a fibre glass fus.

And the same to you,Sir and all other members.

Try item no 192482686872 on ebay.Its from the petrol scooter shop.You would be advised to check the mounting hole dmns.

John,we are all entitled to our opions,but in my opinion,you are so,so wrong.Thank you very much Mr Parry and a Merry Christmas to you all.

I totalled the glass fibre fus on my Wilga.Wings and tail OK so design and build of a new fuselage required.I have a 1/48th 3 view drawing.If I check the angles the fus datum line is 0,the tail is 0,the engine is +4 and the wing is +7.Has anyone out there got a 1/5th or larger that they could check ...

Cannot help you with the product,but a question,who are the Lighthorne LMA group?I live 12 miles from Lighthorne,am a founding father of the LMA and have never heard of you.We used to fly at RAF Gaydon.I am of course assuming that it is the Lighthorne near me,if not,ignore my question.

Rob ref email received to-day,if we are in the LMA and BMFA do we have to register with both,ie £18.I suspect that most LMA members are in the BMFA also.

Alex,a couple of questions I suspect a lot of viewers would like the answer to.Is this a one off order from a very wealthy customer,if so what is the ball park price,to the nearest £10K ? I suspect you now want me to go forth and multiply.Or is it a prototype for a new product line? I wont be offend...
