So that wasn't a one time advert?

[del19_82]

i changed the post cos i didnt read it properly . no its not a one time thing he sells a lot of stuff, someone else was looking a couple of weeks ago & he was suggested as a good supplier.

Here is the post http://www.rcheliaddict.co.uk/showth...ighlight=gy401

That's excellent thanks, I'll contact him to see if he has one available.

[del19_82]

if not you normally find them on the BMFA reasonably cheap as well.

[Sneeks]

Phil has one available for £125 inc postage so I think I'll order that. Thanks for the info, very useful and a saving of £20

[del19_82]

Buying the Futaba 7C 2.4 and Phoenix locally today, will order the Gyro and Servo next week on pay day and also the Raptor 30 v2 kit.

[Sneeks]

Yesterday's shopping trip did not go to plan. I compared both the Futaba 7C and the Spektrum DX7 side by side and I prefer the look and feel of the DX7. Unfortunately the shop I was at do not sell the charger for the radio so all I bought yesterday was Phoenix but with no tx to use with it.

Tomorrow I will buy the DX7 with charger from a online retailer who are selling both for less than I almost paid yesterday for the tx alone.

[Sneeks]

I now own a Spektrum DX7 and Phoenix and I must comment on how good a sim Phoenix is, I far prefer it over G3.5 which I had used previously.

Raptor 30 v2 kit and GY401 with S9254 ordered today

[del19_82]

Superb mate!! Your gonna love it, just remember to take your time building it & to use locktite where necessary

[Sneeks]

Getting more excited now, the parcel containing the kit has just arrived. Excellent speedy service from Susses Models. I think Phil will be sending the gyro and servo early next week

[Sneeks]

use locktite where necessary

Should I be use Loctite 243? Do you know of anywhere in Glasgow where I can buy this rather than ordering online

I've also ordered the PV0091 Bearing Upgrade Kit to increase the bearings from 29 to 49. Not really sure if needed but I thought I may as well buy them now before I start the build.

Thanks

Hi Sneeks the loctite 243 is in little bubble packs.. a little small dark red tube with a small white lid at your local Halfords store..just make sure you dont lift the wrong one as they also have the Red Stud/brg lock...Best look for the 243 on the tube.

BTW use it sparingly..you only need to apply a little on the first 2-3 threads. It's a lot easier to sit a blob on a scrap bit of plastic and use a small screwdriver or similiar to apply.

Might see you at Cumbernauld tomorrow Brian
