  Stuart.

There is a very big clue in this thread already mate

Its one of those things you might need so that you can prove that Zim is most def better than you lmao

Lee

Any relation to a bird of prey?

Obvious isn't it? The only present you want others to use while you play with something else...

Far from obvious.
Your reference to a vibrator renders it ambiguous.
 

Rumour has it that he has been out already.

Mike if you have this much time on your hands then get up the mynd with a shovel and some salt!! I wanna race tomorrow.

Whoa!
Fair cop, guv.
301.
Guilty as charged

One mystery solved.

But Santa's got something else in his bag.
1. It's on its way from HK
2. It's not a plane, but is for inclusion in a plane
3. It's unusual, possibly unique, in UK.

 

Spot prize available on this one!

Nice bit of kit!!
 
   Clocked a Corsa doing 53mph in a 30 limit earlier.

Hmmmm......smoothener

GPS logger?    OR      gyro

Well done Andrew, too quick.
Zit's in the post

If it's a gyro ,i'd suggest you give Mike at West Wales Models a call,he's got one in a multiplex Twister,it works very well but took a little bit of fiddling to set up and he may be able to give you some valuable tips.

ive had a dabble with Gyros in planes and some interesting results in model cars too, although not race legal unfortunatly

It's a Futaba GYA351, dual channel in/out, which will find its way onto ailerons.

Should be interesting & add a further dimension to the fun.

Lead!

    Crash Test Dummy......... . Ant.

I love how the mention of gyros kicks off a whole 'thats cheating' attitude on merkingroups, yet buying a VERY expensive (didn't a Thundertaker or such go for $10K on the slope?) large plane with masses of lead in the tips  is not deemed as such.
I guarantee that you could break 500mph tomorrow with a gyro and it wouldn't be accepted. Despite the game having no formal rules.

I'm not sure that it is characterised as cheating. For my personal opinion, I think you've got two classes of mod. Passive aids and active ones. I think tipweight becomes part of the models design and set-up and as such is purely passive.

So for me, gyros are an active aid coz they move the control surfaces without input from the pilot, and as such I'm not too sure that gyro assisted records can be accepted in the same class as records set by aircraft which have no active pilot aids. Although they are certainly an interesting diversion.

I think (could be wrong) that Thundertakers are around $7k for the airframe.

Man, that's heavy.

Ant, you're too slow.
I graduated to crash test dummy yonks ago.

Re gyros, anything that can counter a sudden flick through the shear quicker than any pilot has got to be a good thing as far as safety is concerned   (I was told 15+yrs ago the then new JR347 computer transmitter was 'cheating'  ) Will be watching Deckit's pioneering with interest
