Found another clip from this 1970’s series Model world presented by Bob Symes and this is a short clip on Control line planes.

Makes you wonder whether the BBC still have the series in there archives or was it erased??

I bought a couple of these to try out in my Belt CP and more so for my Thunder tiger Mini titan as that has much heavier blades and think it will cook my zippy 20C 2200mah lipo’s 😉

I have run them a couple of times in my Belt CP and they came off only Luke warm after about 5-6 mins hovering and were practically at storage voltage when I put them back in the charger.

You can also charge these at 5C if your charger handles it.

Although for me, charging at 1C is more than okay, or if I dont need them in the near term, at 100ma overnight.

Look promising and great price from GiantCod, will get some more no doubt.

Only bummer for me was I had to change my connectors on the heli’s and other lipos I have to Bullet type Connectors.

Looking for something else , and I came across this.

For those old enough to remember, it used to be run on the BBC and covered all RC models from trains to Planes and Heli’s and Boats, back in the 1970’s!

Hoping one day the BBC will release it on DVD or digital download.

Here’s some video from this years show, video and pics taken by Pete, Rick and myself and thanks to Pete for doing all the editing.

The weather was gorgeous yet again for this years show and some impressive models and flying 🙂

Great fun!
