Try capping the line to snorkel vent, that should check water entering the tank beyond a dribble. You can have a small solenoid or servo actuated pinch...

When it comes to attracting new blood into this area of the hobby, I would factor in the following.

1. Radio control is no longer the frontier...

In linkage terms an x-tail is no different to a cruciform tail, it’s simply rotated 45 degrees.

Have you had many younger modellers coming forwards asking for advise on how to get into this hobby, Dave?

[Subculture]

I put my scales into a clear plastic sandwich bag, when it gets too soiled just replace with a new one.

I’m amazed Steve pays $37 for a can of primer. Where are you buying it from, Harrods?!

[Subculture]

The best approach for parts that need to be watertight is to use sintered nylon, either using SLS or MJF processes. Watertight and tough as arseholes...

There are currently kits on the market that can be put in the water for around the $250 mark. Only a couple from Norbert Bruggen in Germany, but then...

I've been working on mine (design pictured earlier). I'm not bothered about winning a prize, so if the competition gets canned then c'est la vie, the...

I think you mean Tom rather than Steve, Dave.

Isn't that just a standard thixo agent? I've also used cellulose fibres for thickening resin, although it's not a smooth as colloidal silica it adds lots...

[Subculture]

I wondered what the spray gun was for, are you applying a release agent?

[Subculture]

Are you spraying thinned resin into those tools?

[Subculture]

Speed controllers whether brushed or brushless control speed by ‘chopping’ the current using a microcontroller to pulse it on and off. Generally...

[Subculture]

That's your problem then. Huge amount of pitch at unloaded speed of 11000RPM+

You want a motor around 300kv-500kv for a prop like that on...

Might load up a bit for a 2” diameter prop. 4:1 would be a better ration for a 400 size motor.

[Subculture]

Okay, so what's the motor size, KV, and diameter and pitch of the propeller?...

[Subculture]

Yeah I think it's a typo, he has a 2200mAh in the picture so I'm going to go with that pack. that should give you a continuous current in excess of 10-15A...

[Subculture]

If the pack is puffing then you are pulling too much current. I suggest taking some current measurements when the system is under maximum load. Unless...
