We are allowed on the campsite/car park from midday on Friday and if you so desire you can stay on the Sunday night for Monday departure, you would have to pay in the museum on the Monday morning if you did this. I have just told them a rough estimate on numbers for the camping.<br /><br />Pat http://scalesoaring.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1318681085/18#18 Scale Soaring Forum/Equipment http://scalesoaring.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1318681085/18#18 Henryk linked to the Emcotec website some interesting MPX products.  One is a housing + frame and costs 6.90 euros for 5 pieces.<br /><br /><a href="http://shop.rc-electronic.com/e-vendo.php?shop=k_emcotec_e&SessionId=&a=article&ProdNr=A85010&t=12&c=44&p=44" target="_blank">http://shop.rc-electronic.com/e-vendo.php?shop=k_emcotec_e&SessionId=&a=article&ProdNr=A85010&t=12&c=44&p=44</a><br /><br />Another is a housing with flange and costs 2.90 euros for 5 pieces.<br /><br /><a href="http://shop.rc-electronic.com/e-vendo.php?shop=k_emcotec_e&SessionId=&a=article&ProdNr=A85016&t=12&c=44&p=44" target="_blank">http://shop.rc-electronic.com/e-vendo.php?shop=k_emcotec_e&SessionId=&a=article&ProdNr=A85016&t=12&c=44&p=44</a><br /><br />The photos don't really allow me to work out what the difference is, apart from the housing + frame coming in 2 parts and the housing with flange being one part.  Seems that once installed they both achieve the same result.  Has anyone used them to be able to explain the difference?<br /><br />Regards<br />Mike http://scalesoaring.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1303335384/117#117 Scale Soaring Forum/Build Threads http://scalesoaring.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1303335384/117#117 Hi,<br /><br />i have made the glass on the canopy <img src="http://scalesoaring.co.uk/public_html/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/default/wink.gif" border="0" alt="Wink" title="Wink" /><br /><br />Best Regards Olli<br /><br /><a href="http://www.retroplane.net/forum/images/uploads/Olli/Web_IMG_0055_175.jpg" rel="gb_image[nice_pics]" title="..."><img src="http://www.retroplane.net/forum/images/uploads/Olli/Web_IMG_0055_175.jpg" name="post_img_resize" alt="..." title="..." border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.retroplane.net/forum/images/uploads/Olli/Web_IMG_0053_406.jpg" rel="gb_image[nice_pics]" title="..."><img src="http://www.retroplane.net/forum/images/uploads/Olli/Web_IMG_0053_406.jpg" name="post_img_resize" alt="..." title="..." border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.retroplane.net/forum/images/uploads/Olli/Web_IMG_0054_426.jpg" rel="gb_image[nice_pics]" title="..."><img src="http://www.retroplane.net/forum/images/uploads/Olli/Web_IMG_0054_426.jpg" name="post_img_resize" alt="..." title="..." border="0" /></a> http://scalesoaring.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1337172169/10#10 Scale Soaring Forum/ Glider Guiders http://scalesoaring.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1337172169/10#10 Pure Guess....Ant. http://scalesoaring.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1328981684/17#17 Scale Soaring Forum/Tug Talk http://scalesoaring.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1328981684/17#17 Hello All,<br /><br />The first event of the season was a success for the new tug! Our resident videographer couldn't attend and as yet, I have not received any "in action" pictures from anyone.  <img src="http://scalesoaring.co.uk/public_html/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/default/cry.gif" border="0" alt="Cry" title="Cry" /><br /><br />Here are my findings:<br /><br />The tail wheel strake works as hoped....no towline snags the entire weekend!<br /><br />The V-tail requires tip plates to be added to stop the tow line sliding off the tips when turning the model on the ground. Once added I think the tow line will rarely find it's way under the tail.<br /><br />The wheels are too small and hard. I've ordered some larger spongy Cub wheels for it.<br /><br />I'll post any new developments as they happen.<br /><br />There are event pictures here: <a href="http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1542409&page=4" target="_blank">http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1542409&page=4</a> <br /><br />Cheers, Nigel  <img src="http://scalesoaring.co.uk/public_html/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/default/smiley.gif" border="0" alt="Smiley" title="Smiley" /> http://scalesoaring.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1336994592/5#5 Scale Soaring Forum/ Glider Guiders http://scalesoaring.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1336994592/5#5 This is an intersting point as I am jsut about to balance my own CC K-18. I remember on my old one that I gradually eased the CG back, right to the edge of the comfort zone. It was such a well mannered machine that I found I could fly it like this and it was a very good thermal sniffer with this set up. I will start conservatively though for safety. <br />I was planning to fly it this weekend and so naturally the forecast is for 40mph NE winds and rain! Sorry chaps. Mea Culpa. If I had just finished a lead sled you can be sure the forecast would be for gentle zephyrs. <img src="http://scalesoaring.co.uk/public_html/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/default/rolleyes.gif" border="0" alt="Roll Eyes" title="Roll Eyes" /> http://scalesoaring.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1337238304/0#0 Scale Soaring Forum/Classifieds http://scalesoaring.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1337238304/0#0 1.3 scale Minimoa. 6m span.
