The change-over to LIPOs is a success. No problems at all, with packs, charger, balancer, and ESCs. And better flying.

Eight models converted [the easy ones]. The remaining five require more thought; and possibly new motors.

A new transmitter bought! A Multiplex EVO 9. Much mental effort required to master the programming. The 20-model memory will be a boon. The digital trim memory will reduce flight time wasted on re-trimming.

A fellow club member [Mike Fallon] has videoed a flight of my Kawanishi H6k. I have edited it [more mental effort; why do instructions have to be so unhelpful?]. You can view it at www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=588274

It's over twelve years since this model first flew!

The Supermarine Night hawk is back on the workbench, at last, for completion of details. Dummy engines, aircrew, guns, etc. Time-consuming work!
