Sorry no! That's the DS-238 above!

For the 239, I only have the CS (analog version). I guess same screws than the DS

Sorry Ralph, will not be able to go to Falaise this year So far anyway! Not happy about that, but that might change at the last minute  :'(
Looks like I may have a last minute Plan B as I could really do with some sun!

And we are done with what was planned!
Well, almost. Keeps having showers here, so can’t put the wings on for a quick check, cleanup and add the reg.

Anyway, main bits are done and everything works

Scale / 1/2.5 SHK (5.8m)

« on: August 05, 2023, 16:08:43 PM »

Alright, back to that one!

Seeing the great summer, time to prep a couple of machines. And it's the turn of the SHK today!

First flight was a couple of years ago if I recall, and after that weekend, lying in the shed! And that's a shame really has I keep flying the Phoebus I got at the same time... But now, time to get some more hours on it

Today's job:

Cleaning!
Add some scale immat (it will be a mix coming from the usual excellent Mr Fisher's 3 views, but main reg will be as below)
Add a Jeti Max Bec
Add a pilot

And if all goes well weather wise, set it up in the garden to do a quick radio check as it's too big to be put together inside unfortunately.

It’s that time of the year again!

A couple of photos of this year’s display.  Really wanted to see the Lancaster, but he was a no show on Sunday unfortunately.

Anyway, here are a few photos, less than usual as they are pretty much the same year on year and the lack of sun did not produced great ones as I am far from being a pro!

As I told you on your gmail, it cannot be sent! I’m sure it’s pretty obvious seeing the size.
If you don’t want it anymore, that’s fine as I said, unless you collect or pay a fortune in shipping, you can’t get it.

No point putting mean comments here, contact the post office.

No need to reply

First flight of number 3 yesterday by Nhalyn!

First comment: ça arrache sa mère! French expression, but basically, flies great

A quick test of the wing build, and we are sucking diesel!

Misc / Mini spot welder

« on: July 17, 2023, 17:01:03 PM »

One of those things that as soon as you try go “why I did not buy one earlier!” 

As I am slowly transitioning to Li-ion batteries, like my good old niamh packs, I decided to make them myself and after doing the usual soldering, decided to invest in a mini spot welder.
And God, I should have invested way sooner! Makes batteries in minutes, clean and very strong!
Did a couple of spot weld on a 1850 battery, and could not tear apart the nickel that was welded with pliers!

Anyway, look at the photos, took me 5 minutes to weld those batteries, and already looking forward to my next batch

For info, there are tons of those spot welders available, the one I have is the SeeSii spot welder. Came with what looks like a lifetime supply of nickel strip, usb charging cable, battery holders and a small file to clean up the connections.
