Living in the NE of England retired with time to enjoy a great hobby .Just fun building and flying RC planes with a little extra modelling thrown in. Tips and tricks I've picked up over the years and new ones I've just discovered

What a couple of days
Day one, Zenoah engine in Green DR1 refuses to start so hacked off with it I've removed from the plane .
Day two OS FS 60 needs to be tuned in DVII decides to object by taking chunks out of my fingers and the RX switch newly fitted packs in.

It's enough to turn a man to his favourite tipple 😆

3D printed a hard case for the LiFe battery to be held in place with Velcro straps in the model.

Easy to remove for charging.
