Horsetan Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 According to the latest MRJ that has just dropped through the letterbox, lasers are the latest way to quarter wheels... Just make sure you're not within sight of a flight path when you use them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post Worsdell forever Posted December 4, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted December 4, 2015 It's alive! Well, 1093 had it's first run on the club test track on Wednesday night and it ran very well indeed, a little stiff but fairly smooth. It has since been cleaned, gently sandblasted and had a coat of primer. Running up and down the test track at home (very poor controller), not bad considering there's no weight added yet and no tender pick ups. 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
N15class Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 It looks wonderful. Looking at the video it will be a fine runner once run in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
