You could just get a copper rod clamp an earth wire to it and drive it into the ground or you could do what I do with my little genset out bush and don't worry about it.

Yes... model planes are all loaned by the gods and.............. sometimes they want them back!! I lost Viper no1 on Sunday, not much of it left after a mid air around the first pylon, I was jus...

I agree with Gazz Go for the best power to weight It's better to have 3 mins of awsome flying performance than 6 minuets of just hanging in there !!

After I added those two carbon braces it was very noticable how much stiffer it made the whole tail group.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Paul !!!!

I wondered where everyone was today. I drove past on my way to work. I was late going in this morning as my eldest son wasn't well and stopped by for a look. I was suprised noone was there. I didn't s...

Steve you don't need to flash the 9X to use it, The original software works fine as it is I've got the vipers set up on mine and they work good !! The new software is suposed to give it a bunch ...

Here's a pic of the simple mod I did to toughen up the tail plane after it came away mid flight It's just a couple of peices of 2mm carbon rod glued in place with Zap and kicker. epoxy would also do ...

Well done Wayne !! I'm sorry I wasn't there to see it !! I'm looking forward too seeing it in the air soon How did you find the pulse to fly ?? The Gee Bee is a beautie Steve !!

I might be able to get down there tomorrow not 100% sure tho' I have a few domestic duties I have to sort out first

Excellent !!!! Good Luck with it tomorrow, I'm sure it will fly great!! Put it down gently on those retracts.

They are both finished, checked, fuel lines plumbed, radio all set up with Mixing balanced and ready to fly........................at Last :)

HUMONGOUS

Wow it's looking good, it's quite short coupled isn't it ? And with quite a long nose. It will be interesting to see how it flies !! be interesting to see how it recovers from a spin.

Excellent John !! I have a 50cc Extra that will probably just tip the scales over the 7Kg mark. It would be good if you could have alook at it for me at some stage.

After racing rarebears and calling for SRL at one of the Pylon days at Pittown a while back, I got the chance to fly a Viper. When one of the races was over Steve handed me the radio and let me bur...

Interesting, From the reviews it sounds like it's a nice flyer. It should look good in the air !!

Anyone been to have a look and see what conditions are like down at the field ? I'm thinking of heading down there for a fly in the morning

Woww!! That is Huge Gaz !! You might want to wait till I get the new G160 going in the blue Yak and see if you reckon it's worth going that way. The only things I did to it were grout the magnets...

Will do Gazz, I should be there. If I can't make it or the weather looks forboding I'll post about lunchtime other wise I'll be ther between 4-4:30 See you there !!

I'm going to try and get down the field this afternoon around 4-430 is for a few flights and will try to do the same tomorrow as well

It didn't fly out of range, the reciever hung. It was on but it just locked up. It didn't brown out either it just went into "lights on but no one home mode". And stayed like that till I disconne...

I'd be reluctant to get an Sbach unless you get a bigish one, I'd reckon the wings are too tapered to fly nicely in the smaller sizes. My little yellow edge 540 is a bit like that. It's the kind of...
