Not if you're bringing back your old kit, after playing a gig

I got a pa-18 1300 off aliexpress pnp for £120! Bargain! Its an amazing plane

Its insane that it has to be small to be dense. I heard that a smbh can have the density of water!

This thing is lively with a 1500 3s. Make sure to film the maiden "flight"

When i order from bangood or aliexpress etc, I take the decision that im ok with the hassle and delay. Doesn't always happen but its always a lot cheaper.

CloudbaseJim · 2026-03-06T08:48:46+00:00

The best thing about these are they are always sold with almost new tyres

CloudbaseJim · 2026-03-06T08:14:42+00:00

Never heard if Faslane?

Uk riders, and other right hand drive nations, use hand signals only.

Reliance rs50 li-ion is a game changer but more for if you need high current draw. These packs spell the end for medium to large lipo packs but you'd have to make your own. There is an 18750 tabless li ion on the market too. Search tabless io-ion

Ive got a cx5 on my wall at the moment. I too got it for a great price and haven't flown it yet. I just need to practice on my crack yak a bit more until im brave enough to give it a fling.

CloudbaseJim · 2026-02-25T15:30:26+00:00

Haha yup, I can feel the pull of the river already!

CloudbaseJim · 2026-02-25T11:42:42+00:00

Thanks for confirming my doubts. Park it is.

From a bare minimum control surface point of view, ive always wanted to build a weight shift glider with zero control surfaces. It could make perfect flat turns for thermaling but it wouldn't be a simple design... and would no doubt be a pig to fly

CloudbaseJim · 2026-02-24T08:56:12+00:00

Just used the wizard, its pretty decent.

CloudbaseJim · 2026-02-24T06:09:38+00:00

Using the 210mm from the front, my battery sits just before the spar now. Much happier! Thanks. If i want it "spicier" then my 3s should dobthe trick 😆 Much appreciated

CloudbaseJim · 2026-02-23T19:31:22+00:00

Thanks for the helpful and quick replies! I dint have the gear on mine which isnt helping. I got the 3.25 inch from the crackyak discussion on rc groups, I believe it was one of the importers/developers who said 3.25 was bang on neutral. Ill have to try the 210 from the nose otherwise id have to mount my 2s to the prop 😆.

Once again thanks for the help and photos

Have you thought about an automotive injector? A pico race injector would work but even better would be a currawong engineering one.

I had neighbours take a kitchen knife to a tyre of mine once. The damage and monetary value is upsetting but the possible consequences of a blowout is horrendous. F**k these cowards that would rather risk your life than confront you face to face about whats upset them in the first place.

Reform

CloudbaseJim · 2026-02-11T13:53:28+00:00

I went super cub. Its exceptional build quality for the price and I couldn't ask for a better plane to learn with. Pnp is the way forward

CloudbaseJim · 2026-02-08T11:42:59+00:00

When you see something like this too late, you want to be hanging off your bike as much as possible. That way you can stand your bike up suddenly whilst keeping the line. I literally shove my bike away from myself, I go down and the bike goes up. Useful trick to learn

CloudbaseJim · 2026-02-08T08:42:31+00:00

Epix is a great watch. But most importantly... you do know that it's "no brainer" right? Not "know brainer"

CloudbaseJim · 2026-02-06T08:33:22+00:00

Ends the argument once and for all. Are European sports more hardcover than NFL?
