Thanks Alex, would love to see a picture ;)

Elliot.

I have Jeti stuff in my MC-24 and MX24s - both work flawlessly. Jeti receivers seem to be the best spec and most versatile going too - not sure if they're available in the US yet?

Elliot.

Hi, I have a question for Alex, what kind of winch so you use in your wilga? I've seen one or two german variants, they look to be over egging the pudding somewhat, although having crashed a tug due...

Hi Erwin,

it's actually stated in the figures you posted earlier, the batteries are 4S as per http://www.hobbydirekt.de/LiPo-Akku-4-4800-148V-G35-Graupner-76604::37302.html

ENGINE SPECIFICATION...

Looking at the Graupner website, they have changed the design quite dramatically, wonder if it's better?

It's much much better to extend the motor wires, too long a battery lead will burn out the capacitors on the ESC.

Graupner do specifiy 2 4S packs for the big up and go, the motor is 30v too, so...

Ps. I'm sure it's around the 1500 watt mark.

Hi guys,

I too have this SLS in my Valenta 213, unfortunately the graupner uk agent couldn't find motor specs, which seems odd to say the least... I'm using 8cells but have to confess I've not...

Addicts, sadly, there's no cure. ;)

Len, I too have had issues with 2.4 and ignition wiring - I had to reset a Jeti 18 channel rx that got fatally confused - not Jeti's fault I hasten to add, the supply to the ignition module happened...

Thanks Tom, this is very useful, I've a rosenthal 1/3 scale discus I am recovering and it now looks like I'll be using vinyl!

Hey Tom!

Things are good thanks, just finishing up a dinky Graupner Monsun tug, with 33cc's I doubt I'll be troubling the third scale fellas ;)
Do you have a brand name for your film? I am keen...

Hi Tom,

sorry to ask what seems like both a dumb and a newbee question, but... I've had some success covering with film, but have yet to achieve 'Let' levels of perfection - just wondered what...

Trouble is, in the UK, we pay pounds to dollars the same price for DA.

US price is $1,199 UK price is £1,199 (exchange rate currently for $1,199 is £750!!)

Go figure.

They are lovely...

My Graupner SLS has a forward folding prop, the blades are just normal Graupner 18x10 folders.

The hub is much the same as a rear folder too, it's only the springing mechanism that is different...

Hi Tom,

all is good thanks, I have been very indulgent and bought a 6m Schueler ASH26 off Simon, my first 6m model... yikes.

Si dropped me a line earlier today to say he'll mail some shots over...

Hey Tom,

just caught up with this thread - loads of great tips as usual!

Your re-profiling made me smile as it was only this weekend I learnt about bug wipers - what a mad idea they are...

Hi Fellas,

just a note to say I am in the middle of building this new kit, here in the UK, it's designed by friend and fellow aerotow enthusiast Chris Morrison.
Designed like a giant fun fly...
