Re: LMA Magazine

An interesting comment about ADS-B from Rob in the magazine. If clubs will eventually be required to have a transponder at the field, how will they be powered, as many clubs don't have power and a leisure battery will soon go flat. As for switching on and off when models are being flown, we struggle...

Re: DB Hurricane 81”

Hi Sean.
Yep, my plan is to use the radiator to hide the fill valve and use a small robart bottle and build into wing.

I like the unitracts retracts, good quality. A lot less faff if using electric but not sure of any that would be suitable for the Hurricane.

Re: DB Hurricane 81”

Hi Sean. Just thinking about the retract air tank and valve presumably you've got no choice but to put in the Fuz unless there is clearance on top of the wing? What retracts are you going for? I've got unitracts and was going to use a robart adjustable valve and then either a robart tank or unitract...

Re: DB Hurricane 81”

Hi Wayne I like the method you use of 90degree angle brackets for making sure ribs are vertical, I'll be using that method! I was going to do the tropical version, so A. The cowl can be extended slightly and B. I can add a filter to make the cowl a little bigger and may also allow the engine to move...

Re: DB Hurricane 81”

Hi Wayne. Ah, you must have a new kit. Mines one of the early laser kits with the single piece cowl, although I could split if needed. I know what you mean about engines but I was stung about 20 years ago with the DB Spitfire. I hate seeing trumpets, carbs and exhausts sticking out of the cowl so I ...

Re: DB Hurricane 81”

Hoping to start mine in the next few weeks. I'll be watching with interest! Thinking of dispensing with the intergral aileron linkage and still debating the choice of engine. I'd like an FG40 but will it give enough umph? I have a Mackay 45 that i may decide to use or go for a DLE55RA which I have s...

Pete Iliffe

Many of you may remember Pete Iliffe, a regular attendee at Gaydon. He designed, built and flew a range of magnificent small and micro scale models and always had a stand at Gaydon. It is with much sadness I report that Pete passed away a few weeks ago having suffered a short illness. Pete was well ...
