  1. I got mine not long after i posted. Its ok to fly if not a little boring i let my friend have a go who had never flown before and he loved it. Its perfect for teaching basic rc aircrafty control. I've already put a taranis receiver and ive bound it to my tx, im just looking for he opportunity to test the full manual mode. Also i installed a 4000mah battery which gives me approx 80 to 90 mins flying time in low wind. Overall i think it has some software design quirks the autoland can be a little special but its a great plane for a first time flyer this is a flight plan i made, i cut some of the video to get it down to 40 mins.
  2. I've got the same question and about parts for this motor in general
  3. im looking at getting one tomorrow, any flying experiences? for the cash it is i dont mind losing it
  4. Hi, There is a track closer to scarborough, but i was told to go to a place between Whitby and Scarborough its used for trials riding and there is a lot of open space with lots of good off road areas. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Unnamed+Road,+Whitby+YO22+4QJ/@54.3844337,-0.5539452,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m9!1m3!11m2!2s1QtIALIqLXXuChQGk48UTvUeyok4!3e1!3m4!1s0x487f3c4a3adafcb3:0x68c17ff6cb5193c4!8m2!3d54.3844337!4d-0.5517512?hl=en&authuser=0
  5. I'm going through the fuel system now for leaks, I'm going to have the engine out anyway so i'll seal it up while its out. Half the problem it seems is that the published carb settings are no where near what it needs to actually start.
  6. I love Danby, I sometimes run my cars on Danby beacon. Did you ever go to Port Mulgrave ? its hard to get to and the path down the cliff isnt "official" but its worth a visit if you want to find fossils or just go to an untouched beach. If you chase the tide out you can walk around the headland from staithes. I think my absolute favourite place is Skininngrove beach. Its not that clean regarding dog poo and the locals are a little "local" but it is an amazing beach. I love all the old disused industrial places that have left to rust, they are a haven for wildlife. Have you seen the glass on Seaham beach?
  7. Does the inside of the back plate look like this where the black ring is? I had huge problems with pull starts and the COPS system, until i replaced the whole backplate. Maybe try and get your backplate replaced and your pull fixed first. I don't really know about starter boxes or roto. i can't help you there. If you stick with the pull start i find it easier to use the standard .21 engine pull with the normal pull handle. I've never swore so much at a car as when i tried to use that horrible green handle.
  8. Hi, Ive got a hyper Vs with the turbo engine. I've put about 10 tanks through it 25% nitro, and i'm at the stage where i would like to tune it for a little more performance. I had some problems with starting it for its first couple of tanks, at factory break in settings the carb woudnt let any fuel through and I had to open the LSN quite a lot to get it to start, same with the HSN The LSN was 2 mm out from flush, and the HSN flush with the brass outer ring. absolutely no where near factory settings. The smoke produced by the engine is unreal clouds and clouds of the stuff, I can lean the HSN to reduce it a little and get a little more power and also the LSN to get a little more punch. The problem is that when i go to restart the engine I have to put the carb back to the known good settings which are crazy crazy rich. Without changing the carb settings the engine stays reasonably cool, but any adjustment to the LSN/HSN the engine wont pass the spit test even though its pumping smoke out like crazy. Im not interested in max performance but i would like to get it a little faster than factory with a lot less smoke, and find a setting that i know will start. I've got loads of pinch so i dont think its a compression problem, does this sound like an air leak ? can anyone offer any advice ? Im not after race performance im happy to have smoke and a longer lasting engine but iim just a little worried im going in the wrong direction
  9. Make sure you call at a place called staithes its a nice little village
  10. ah yeah I know the place now, I used to visit Garsdale when i was a kid
  11. Wheres brough? theres some nice places round if you like the sea and seagulls
  12. Between whitby and saltburn, yourself ?
  13. I just joined looking to talk with some people who share the same hobby I've got a recently purchased hyper VS with a 30 engine and an old rustler with a 2.5 engine, as always with forums i'm a little confused with which sections to post in cheers scampy
