Hi All. I'm Tony and I've been into building and flying model planes for a very

No they probably don't. Fortunately there is an equivalent over here, which I have joined for the princely sum of about £70 a year. Thanks for the heads up though any advice is always welcome .
PS It would probably be a Tessler windscreen, seems electric is taking over here!

Good to meet you Dave, welcome.

Thank you & you too. Although you might not be saying that after a month or two of me constantly asking questions! I am still finding my way around the site, so apologies if I post stuff in the wrong place!
Kind regards Dave.

Hi all,
I've been joining different forums to find one I like after ditching the RCM&E one and have been directed here.
I'm a returnee after the compulsory enforced break from the hobby through a growing family, career and mortgage commitments. I look forward to increasing my knowledge and contributing where I can.
My interests are in traditional builds from plans, IC engines and I have a hankering for dabbling in own design, I'm not really into electric but do see the attraction of it (is there a pun there?) and plan to become more aquainted to it for some EDF jets in the future.
Regards
STF

Hi and welcome.
A relatively small forum but there is a lot of experience here.
Like yourself i skipped a good few years with family and career.
Were about are you?

Hi Quorneng,
I'm on the South coast

Hi, Supertigrefan - most of the originals on here were escapees from the RCM+E, for various reasons!

@Dave - yes Tesla windscreens aren't cheap things! I've been watching Bjorn Nyland on the tube, and his crazy antics with them, doing his best to break them, and then complaining about the cost of parts!

Welcome aboard Supertigrefan, I also love Super Tigres.

Welcome aboard STF, I'm a returnee as well I also like building from plans, so satisfying.

Thanks for the welcome fellas, I look forward to becoming part of the community.
I've just realised I've posted as a reply to a thread rather than to the topic, my apologies, I'm still feeling my way around the layout, I will get there though!

Edit- I've just discovered the lower "Action" button :woohoo:

Welcome, STF, I have two ST's myself. They're still waiting for models since the 90's!

Less pontification Klipkopfire old chap, get them installed and enjoy them!

Quite a few modellers don't like them, they say they're too fussy probably because they don't understand that rather than the 2 standard adjustment set ups you get on most 2 strokes (main needle and slow running) they have a 3rd where you can also rotate the main needle barrel to alter the transition, once they're properly adjusted they're reliable, powerful and tick over nicely, they're also pretty cheap to pick up nowadays, the Italian made versions with Q Silencer being (IMO) the best.

I've never had any problem with them, the .34 is and absolute peach of an engine which I used in a Super 60, although it was overpowered, it just meant that it had the power for a good take-off run and being a ringed engine, it would run at i/3 throttle all day. ABC engines need to be f
run at a higher temperature because of it's TDC pinch.

There is a shop in Cyprus that has shelves full of the kits virtually closed now, but they were still there the last time I was in there
The shop is run by the mother and son of the guy who owned it
He died and left quite a bit of dept because he used to order in bulk to get the best prices
Abserlutly crammed with stuff and it was a big shop, and according to his wife there was even more upstairs in the store room
