RE: Tamjets A4 Tank issue
[quote]ORIGINAL: fw190pilot This won't be an issue unless you are going to fly inverted for long periods of time. The saddle tanks may be exposed to air while inverted but will resume flowing fuel while upright. [/quote] I agree if you plumb these tanks in series you will in effect have several header tanks. Provided you keep most of your aero stuff at the start of the flight you will be fine. Also a good UAT will make sure you dont have a problem. Make sure to plumb in series however this way the third tanks will be full for ages before any issues could happen and then this will be looked after by the UAT Bert

RE: In need of some wise mens thoughts
We had the same at our field. I am afraid it is simply people who dont like turbines finding somthing to complain about. As you said the grass soon returns so no harm done. Spilling glow fuel, Petrol or Kero for that matter will kill the grass. You are doing what you can so continue and the others will soon get over it. Also look at your club constitution it is common for the phrase 'Model aircraft flying in all its disciplines' to be included and if it is this will help you Good luck Bert

RE: Fire in the hole
Many thanks for all your help. I have several things I can now try. I have lined the area of the fuz that could get burned with litho plate to protect the servo wires above so I am good to go with a few experiments. First of all I am going to change the glow plug as I think this might be old and maybe not have the element pulled out enough. Sicklick you are correct I was talking about the on board regulating valve which one set is usually fixed in position. And yes I am using mixed gas Bert

Fire in the hole
I have a wren supersport that I have in a plane with a jetpipe. The engine is full autostart and it is starting the prolem I have is as follows: 1. Turbine spins up and gas valve opens. The gas only ignites when the spinning has almost stopped or on the second spin. 2. This results in a fuz full of gas and when it pops I have a gas flame in the fuz which burns before the turbine spins up and gets going 3. Once it spins up again all is well and she runs fine. 4. I will replace the glow plug and try controlling the gas by hand as a first try. Anyone have any ideas Thanks Bert

RE: Nose Wheel Braking
[quote]ORIGINAL: siclick33 Mick Reeves sells main wheel brakes for this model. I hope you're good at building! The kit really isn't very good[&o] Do a Google search and try and find other build threads. There is a suggestion on one of these that the tail booms are the wrong incidence and the pre-cut metal rods may need re-cutting to the correct angle. Also, it may be that the wing ribs don't fit very well. I love this model but building it was way beyond my ability. Hopefully Ripmax will produce this as an ARF one day once they've got the Hunter established. If they did, I would buy one[:D]. [/quote] I have been lucky enough to have got my hands on a 80 % built kit and the build quality to this point is very good. I have just got to finish it off. I saw the main brakes but as I had a nose wheel brake I thought I would try and save the £50 for the main wheel brakes Bert

Nose Wheel Braking
I am building a Mick Reeves Venom and the retract set has a nose wheel brake but no brakes on the mains. Have any of you got experience of nose wheel braking and if so is it very effective ? Bert

RE: Hobbyking in the UK
Customers will still of course have the choice to buy from the International warehouse in China and wait the long period for delivery or can pay a bit more and have quicker delivery. I am sure Hobby king will survive. I have fears however for Giant Cod as they basically sell much of the hobby king stuff
