We would like to wish all members of the LMA and their families a very happy new year. May 2022 bring you everything you want and give us all the chance to meet up on the flying field, and of course Cosford in Feb. We would also like to give a big thanks to the LMA committee for the work they do on ...

Fit one of Dave Hayfields failsafe switches. Works with any magneto motor and as an added bonus it will kill the motor if there is a total power loss in the model. He sells direct but you can also find them in his ebay shop.

Thanks John, useful to know. I take it that the Nitrate Low Taught clear dope is the one best for our purposes? https://skycraft.ltd/cgi-bin/sh000042.pl?WD=taught%20low%20dope&PN=Nitrate%2DLow%2DTaut%2DClear%2DDope%2D%2D1Lt%2D%2D%2D1%2E06%2DUS%2DQuart%2D%2DD102%2D1%2Ehtml#SID=543 Yes, that the ...

Stuart Diatex 1000 is the covering without adhesive and can be brought by the metre from Skycraft Ltd. It comes on a roll 70" wide so is very economical to use. The correct Low Taught dope can also be brought from Skycraft. Diatex 1000 is slightly lighter than Ceconite Light and my experience i...

The trick to stop G4 going off in the tin is to remove the air gap in the tin by decanting the remaining G4 into a smaller tin or jar and fill it all the way to the top......or just buy a smaller tin in the first place !

If Toni Clark are getting stock in March I assume Bernie will be getting stock at the same time. Buying from him will save you all the agro of customs and all other post Brexit issues.
We really should be supporting UK businesses now !?

John

Mine arrived from Bernie a couple of weeks ago. It looks tiny alongside my Valach 420 radial !!!?

Stuart sells the Airworld one. He is still trading and you can find his advert in the classifieds at the back of any LMA Journal.

Pete Goldsmith Designs in the USA does a kit of the Cmelak. I do not think it is 100% scale and it does not show the corrugations on the wings but they could be added. There is also the Airworld kit. I am not aware of any other options apart from the plan Dave mentions above.

John

Doug Thank you for sharing your build and your own deconstruction !!. I love the positive attitude. As modelers we spend our time overcoming problems and setbacks to move forward and I am sure you will be able to use the same mindset to move forward with your current situation. Probably not a good i...
