Aww Snap. I remember you telling me "I've basically got a whole other model there in pieces" I suggest you get to building mate. |

Yeah Post Mortem revealed possible faulty crystal. 45 degree upline turned into 20 seconds of hell before it hit the ground vertically at full noise. I'll see if I can source a new header pipe and a couple of servos, and I'll also get Patrick Neal to send me down the fuse of the other one. Finance is gonna be the problem. So much for saving up big time for good gear. I thought that would stop this sort of thing from happening. That's 90% of my years earnings in that model (Before those that don't know me query, I am only 17 and only work part time because of school)Anywho... I'll have something to fly at the nats, even if it does only end up being a Formosa.

Oh and if you look closely at the pic of the motor you'll see that the tip of the glow plug is gone, the carb is broken off, and the glass mount snapped clean off. I must get a shot of the header pipe. Its quite funny.

Kool. Rang Roger up and had a chat to him. I think it sounds like what I need.

Yea it probably is just what you need mate at this late stage!! Its very similar to Moped's Matrix (without the gay retracts) and was in reasonable nick last time I saw it (about 6 months ago). Cheers, 1CAN | ||||||||||||||||||
