just seen the new headlines, the Qantas flight from Singapore they now suspect passengers electronics to have caused the nose dive. What next, if a consumer electronic dive can interfere with a full size plane that's scary.

need 2.4 ghz

, just have to walk up and down the plane and slap anyone that gets any electronic device out, with padding on and a crash helmet.

Hey Lozza, I got the forms. Now ya gotta show me how to do it. looks like me Ultimate might have fallen through, so I'll be starting with the Pitts or Christen until I get something bigger. Looking at a big Sukhoi or maybe the QQ Pitts (I know, I know...... but I'm a sucker for the big biplanes

) Although the new H9 Extra 260 is gaining my attention.

Going to try for this weekend. was at Gary's last night and he gave me the membership application.
Will bring the little Pitts down coz it will fit in the car. (trailer is only half built) May have the Christen sorted too (building a new exhuast system for it)

Hey talbs is there any upthrust needed in the 120" QQ (is the firewall set correct), with the smaller ones they needed no up or down thrust to get it to vertical trim, is it the same..

Its very close, the washers are about 1mm, it will be slightly different for the 3w 170 as the eng mounts are different. Give it a go.
And to place most of ya radio gear aft for C of G reasons.

I was planning on putting expander behind tank, bridge the 3 rudder tray across the back like yours (got some cf/ply plate for that) and strap the main lipos either side of tank using all them staphole options first up nothing permanent. Got these batts for it, lucky i got in before dollar went through the floor..
