Andrew,
 did you watch the vids on Mikes pages, Hours of enjoyment. I have built a few ff electric models fitted with Peterborough model timer. I set the timer for 1 minute, launch my Auster AOP about 28 inch wingspan and watch it do it's thing. Satisfaction rating 10. Plus you don't have to make an excuse when it doesn't end well. Those new paw engines are very powerful compared to the older engines(I have the .049 version) so maybe run it very undercompressed  for first flights. What weight are planes?

I love  freeflight.

Yes John I watched the videos and have learned a lot
I can see me building a few more FF models I love the simplicity of the buliding and love working with the tissue and dope
I haven't weighed the models yet I've two Tomboy's built and have one more to go plus a Simplex  :)
I'll get some pictures posted soon
Thanks for your help

Here's a little gem of a video - "The well trained sanding block".

Its the first episode of a 3 video sequence on the building and flying of a Veron Hawker Fury.
Links to subsequent episodes at the end of each video.

Unlike a lot of youtube, I don't think you'll regret the time spent watching this video.

Get yourself a mug of tea (and maybe a few biccies) and enjoy!
