  • The curates egg (good in parts)

    I ordered some mre fuel thursday lunchtime 'cos I was down to my last 2 gallons... direct from Rapicon and still not here and no reply to my email f 10am..Only had 2 tankfuls left for my 700 today..

    (I've got a loaner jug coming am courtesy of a mate)

    I've also got my gasser..way cheaper to run but scarey costs if I deck it..so that gets flown a bit gentle..

    I was trying to make my 700's aileron ticktocks look vaguely like the real thing..and they were worse than usual..until i realised that whole heli had developed a slight tremor..Yup..lost a paddle (found in the grass)
    I've also got four helis down with minor mechanical problems..parts arrived today so that's a mega servicing session due

    As it happens I also have 4 helis down for maintenance. It was 5 but one is now back in the air as of today (faulty RX changed out in the GL450).

    It's all minor stuff but it won't do itself unfortunately

      I borrowed the rx from sev2 for the avro..the orangerx from HK now arrived but the battery tray was broken and glued twice and broke again..new one also arrived

      450 pro I stripped a front tt
      500 I was showing to soemone and must have popped a link without realising until I spooled up and the fbl threw it over.. did the front TT too
      600N engine went back to vendor for his opinion and is back tomorrow

      But it does bring home how fast nitro burns through in 90's. Even my resources get squeemish at almost a case in a week...
