Well I was not there yesterday but I am trying for the 27th being today at the pontoon. Nothing up on the calender which suggests your back to licking toads again me thinks. Not staying for the BBQ unfortunately.
At last the true identity of Uncle G is revealed. His real moniker is Guy Gibson, DSO etc, leader of the Drone Busters.
Some good video there. Good enough to show my jib lead is not running freely at times. We started with fellow floaty Sheep who seemed to vanish from pontoon and car park. Hope all was well.
Have stuffed up the calender post for sailing at the Canal for Sat 2/4. Somehow I have entered it for 2/3. Hoping Pred or other intelligent form of Homo sapiens could correct this for me and for the benefit of interested fellow members please.
Thanks Uncle G and Pred. May have to have a rethink and change stabilizer and reciever to suit availability. Might discuss at Canal next Sat if u are both there.
Ta again fellows. Have found that R168 is also out of stock at rccrewhobbies as well as HK so have put alert me calls on both. Will revert to cutting the nose off the Razor to correct alignment problems again so have plenty to keep me busy for the non flying interim.
Ta for advice. Now have a Bixler 2 sitting on my bench. It requires batteries ( on alert notification with HK ) and reciever compatible with the stabiliser offered by Predator i.e. Radiomaster R168 D16. Hobbyking have two versions of this, D16 (LBT) and also D16 (FCC ) As I am an ignoramis on these matters could I ask Predator to advise which is the required for compatibility with his Stabiliser which I would like to purchase from him.
Query re battery and receiver for Bixler 2. The Hobbyking recommended battery for the Bixler 2 is a 1 x 2200 mAh 3S 20C LiPo. As I will need several I thought I would check with members as to any other which may be better.
Also I will need to purchase a receiver compatible with a Jumper transmitter I have. The Turnigy 6 ch reciever I have used in the past with yachts and Razor glider is fairly bulky and of recent times has been hard to purchase. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
Many thanks Uncle G. I hunted one down and ordered today. Delivery in 3 to 10 days cited which I will believe when i see it. Thanks also to Predator for his offer to sell me a stabilizer to match up with it which I will take him up on after his return from a well deserved break.
Hi all, I have decided to get another trainer type plane so that I have something to fly when one is under repair. The Esky Eagle, Bixler 2, and Bixler 3 are under consideration. Bixler 2 is not available currently so may be ruled out. Suggestions as to Esky, Bixler 3 or any other that may suit my limited skills would be welcome.
