The Canadian MAAC (model aeronautic association of Canada) sent out an advisory a couple of years ago regarding the proximity of cell (mobile) phones in the pits and on the flightline. I have witnessed a case where the flyer, I was standing next to him, had his phone ring and his plane started to fl...

Check with Adrian at CH Ignitions (in Florida)
He is now a UMS dealer (new design line of radials) and may be able to source parts from India for you.

Yes, all the best to all members and families for 2019.

The servos I have that twitch, do it every time. I sent them off the a Hitec repair facility..haven't heard back from them yet.

I've also had some recently purchased 645's buzz and twitch when the radio is switched on.
Never had any issues with the older ones and I must have at least 60 of them.

I've used lacquer thinner , but my litho plate had been used for newspaper printing so it was just ink.

Did your Zenoah 20 have the Zenoah ignition unit?
They are a known power hog.
Most of us with the original ignition have changed over to RCXL

I've got a 342 sitting here I'm never going to use. Shipping to the Uk would be a bit costly methinks.

I don't know if I would use just paper. I used the plastic wing covering as it has a shiney finish that wont absorb any resin that gets on it. Paper being slightly porous will soak up any resin that might get on it. You will now have a solid metal/fiberglass tube assy. Make sure to wax very thorough...

Is the tube through the fuselage a bit of bog roll too? You could lay up glass on the metal tube to make a new wing sleeve, but that would be a complete swine to get off again. If you cover the metal tube with a layer of plastic covering film, ultracote, monocote etc, 3 or 4 good coats of wax, some...

Hi Tony.

All is well in the Colonies, thank you.

Cheers,

Listening to your video, that sounds like an ignition miss. Do you have the original Chinese plug in it? If so swap it for a NGK, Champion, Bosch etc. Is the spark plug cap pushed onto the plug all the way..high tension lead in good order? Try another ignition module. Pick up sensors have been known...

When was the G38 last run?
It may require a carb kit...metering diaphgram no longer supple, inlet needle stuck closed, pump flapper valves stuck or curled up not seating, etc. or as mentioned air leak in the fuel lines.
The walbro carb will pull fuel vertically quite a distance.

Hi Ian.

Paul has contacted me and, hopefully all is in hand.

Cheers,
Dave.

PS... I don't have a spam bin.

Well. I guess this isn't working either.

Paul.
E-mail sent.

Dave.

Also make sure the gasket goes on the carb first then the diaphragm then the cover.

Cheers,
Dave.

Thank you, Gents.

What are you gents using for a tail wheel retract? I've given up on Kingfisher and no joy from Unitracts, but I was contacted by Dave Brown (Thank you, Dave)who stated he had not had any call for a Welly t/wheel retract unit but would see if anything suitable could be found. I've heard nothing back ...
