    Any new models ?

    MikeE replied to PeteMitchell's topic in FxRES

    I ordered a Baudis GP15 last August as a operation and six months recovery loomed. As something to look forward to in the spring it worked a treat. Delivered in Feb, but due to weather/hols etc, first flight was last weekend. Built light with 2 packs of 1650 batteries and a Practicalrc Red Pico switch/ battery backer. I was surprised just how well it flew at such light weight. Always great when a model has momentum and speed without having to add loads of weight.

    Very sorry to hear this Tony, could your radio gear not be sent back for repairs, or even in extremis, be replaced?

    Pete, is it much of a step up from the Vaiana Sport? I know of one other member building the Encanto.

    Not seen any new models on here for a while, any one else got something to show ? I built this Encanto during the winter and was able to give it a few maiden flights recently on a rare fine but breezy day when it had stopped raining. Hope to enter a few comps with it.

    I have amended the entry form to stay open for another week. Please PM me if you are not planning to come next weekend.

    Wish I could say same about this Dutch caravan site!!! ... Put me down please, Mike.

    Well I'm here already, looks like I'm staying the week. Tomorrow looks like a decent day, and Sunday "could" be a good day on the wrecker.

    O dear just as I sorted a bed for Saturday night, best see if I can make it next weekend tgen

    If the forecast looks flyable for Sunday I'll still head up for some fun Ian

    I have been patiently waiting for the weather forecasts to change, but they all seem to agree that there will be no wind this weekend. Maybe Sunday afternoon could be just about flyable, but it's hit and miss. With that in mind, I am calling it OFF and moving to the reserve dates next weekend.

    It’s a difficult one, Xc is showing light 7-12 mph NE on Sunday in Nantymoel, probably a bit more on the hill, so flyable if this can be believed. Unflyable Saturday so spot flying - dlg/electric assist. looking at the long range next weekend looks wet. G

    Ian please add me to the list. Open. 2.4. Have limiter. Wellies, snorkel and flippers no longer required. Fish Meadow has finally dried out! Yipee! Steve.

    Fortunately it was directly above me, and stayed in that position. It was strange that there was no breeze at all at that height making the Resco drift.
  18. Carl
    I just didn't dare take my eyes of it, in case I lost sight of it. It was directly above me the whole time, giving me a crick neck.

    Synoptic chart shows it will be right in the middle of a high pressure system - i.e. not much wind - but will be dry & maybe sunny ! Phil.

    Another nose repair - canopy style

    Phil.Taylor replied to Phil.Taylor's topic in Builders Workshop

    Just done the hard work bit - sanding back across the break - nice shallow "U" profile for the new carbon & epoxy. Mostly done with rough 80 grade wrapped around a half-round file. Its the first time I've done one with kevlar in the layup - horrible stuff - doesnt sand cleanly, fluffs up. All masked up ready for the messy sticky carbon & epoxy bit. Phil.

    Sunday looks like it might work a bit but is anybody going to be brave enough to load up enough ballast to go sub 40?

    El Ninos for sale

    tonym replied to tonym's topic in For Sale / Wanted

    Preferably as a package, someone has asked about the battered one, if you're interested in the nice one send me a PM.

    You should be a fighter pilot with eyes that good. Nice.
  24. andyharrold
    You will regret it Tony. As you know, I also race RC yachts. Racing is full of competitors shouting at one another, claiming that they had rights, an overlap, insufficient time to avoid a collision etc. Much of this is very subjective. The setting up of the boats is an art in itself. Ultimately, I find F5J a far more pleasant day out. Hang on to your Elnino s for a bit. See you Sunday.

    El Ninos for sale

    JBF replied to tonym's topic in For Sale / Wanted

    Hi, looks like the post didn't complete. Are you selling both as a package or separately?
  26. mark_r
    Could someone with local knowledge comment on the forecast for the weekend please? All the forecasts I follow have been stable all week, showing no wind on Saturday, and a very very gentle breeze (if anything at all) on Sunday. I'd obviously really want to be flying, but think this looks pretty unlikely so if anyone has a realistic assessment it would be appreciated.

I have a new in box Tenshock 1030/11T that I'd planned to fit in it available.

Could be picked up this Sunday at Little Bentley, otherwise collect from North Essex or meet 30 mile radius of Manningtree.

    I'm withdrawing from the comp., my El Nino doesn't want to bind any more and I don't have patience or enthusiasm to fix it. I thought I might hang in to competition flying for at least this year but I'm done. I've had more minutes racing sailboats in the last 6 months than I have flying in the last 6 years - and it's a whole lot easier on the body. Nice El Nino for sale in the classified ads section
