Fantastic stuff!!

Can you say where you were at the time?

That's some speedy looking building there Steve, you've not been using the table as a building board have you??

Although not directly related to the build of your model, I'll answer the question. I've ben told by both the Secretary & Chief Exectutive of the BMFA that there's no requirement for every member of a BMFA affiliated cluib to be a BMFA member for the club to be affiliated. Most BMFA affiliated c...

You'd be better off using 2 elevator servos, and controlling each elevator from one servo

For proper scale invasion stripes, just slap them on with a scale sized 1ft brush, like this...

He will indeed be greatly missed and well remembered, not only for all the work he did for the LMA over the years, but also for being a thoroughly nice chap who was always ready to help anyone.

My condolences to all his family.

If all the people who've voted had stumped up a mere £431, they could have bought it already and actually own it themselves!

I wouldn't bother, there's a really big hole in the middle & that former looks about right to maintain some strength.

Dave, you’re right, a diode would prevent the other battery from joining the short circuit party, but with the energy stored in even an RX pack, something would melt pretty sharpish if a short occurred. We need to remember that a diode or battery backer can itself fail open circuit, leaving the mode...

a) Depends on what and where the short circuit is. A short of a cell in the battery would generally show itself as a reduction in charge capacity, rather than a spontaneous turning of the cell effectively into a length of wire. Nobody would fly with a battery pack they knew wasn't working properly w...

Just engines sell new plugs & plug caps, that should help...

Not being entirely trusting of what appears in magazines, I did a test on this a little while ago. It went something like this... As a test I’ve just plugged a fully charged 4 cell NiMh battery into a completely flat 4 cell NiMh battery (with a watt meter between). The flow of power between the two ...

Just plug one battery into each end of the receiver, job done & much cheaper.

I refer the honourable gentleman to my earlier post on this thread. What does the inside of the plug cap look like, is that a bit brown too?

The brown stains could well be arcing as the plug makes an intermittent earth, giving less spark for good starting.

He's on holiday at the mo.

Well if it helps, I emailed him last week & he hasn't replied either.

I'm sure rumours of his death have been much exaggerated though!

I'd start with the ignition. Is the plug cap pushed really firmly on & making good contact with the hex of the plug, earthing the ignition?

It's ok I suppose, but those servo wires aren't quite the right scale shade!

Those instruments look like they will actually work...

You'll have it done by the weekend at this rate!

How big is this one??

John,

If you've got a motorhome you've not got a goods vehicle (van) any more, so the motorhome speed limits apply & vary according to weights as it says in the link
