I use a similar devise to this, Jon, but mine has the thumb on the other side.

Looks quite handy!

David, couldn't quite hear you. :dry:
Is there not one of those launching devices hanging up in the hut? :sick:
My weight is now 410 gram for the complete airframe and 380 gram for the hardware, 790 gram in total.

Phil, unless your airframe weight includes the two servos its a bit porky. Mine is 380 grams including the servos.

But the rest of my hardware is heavier than yours, what battery are you using? Mine is only a 30C 2100 3S-1P Kokam but it weighs 210 gram.

Perhaps, just like me, it put on weight over Christmas.

410 includes servos, ailerons, fins horns. H/W is 2200 LiPo, motor, controller, prop collett, reciever, all plugs and sockets soldered. Bat weighs 185 gram. Overlander 30 C.

All this talk of fat batteries, feed them less calories, try Kellogg's Special K. :whistle:

Mike - I've used the masking tape method on a number of models with no problems.
The servo usually goes either into a balsa box or cut out in a foam cored wing, the servo
is a tight fit and once the glue sets it will not move.
I used this method on a 2.7 m scale glider for fixing the flap & aileron servos into a foam cored wing
and four years later they are still firmly attached.

Kit acquired.....

Hi Guys

A review of my other modelling projects, and acknowledgement of some health issues I need to address, means that I have not started my Impressivo kit.
I am therefore putting it up for sale at £55 – so if you have a colleague/friend who wants to join in the project get him/her to ring me on 01202-880847 or contact me via dsashenden@aol.com.

Regards to all
