Firebirds Model Club News

A message from Justin our club clothing dude:

Hi chaps, I’ve had a number of club clothing enquiries and members asking when we are going to make an order so here we go this is your chance to deck yourself out for summer.

As an extra incentive & to clear some surplus stock the club has decided offer a club cap for only £5 for the first five orders over £15

Sweat Shirts £14.25
Polo’s £12.50
T Shirts £8.50

Please email your order, size and colour choice to windgyber@hotmail.com and I will get back to you when we have placed the order.

Don’t forget to add a cap if you want one but remember its first come first served on these.

Many Thanks Justin

One of our members (John H.) has provided a detailed description of the approach he takes to selecting a power setup for an electric power (EP) model that will hopefully help others who may be thinking about taking their first steps with EP.

It concisely covers the selection of electric motors (size and kV numbers), batteries (voltage/cell count, capacity and ‘C’ ratings), speed controllers and prop size.

On the 21st May 2015, John also gave an excellent presentation on the matter so if you have Microsoft PowerPoint or the free PowerPoint Viewer software, then you will be able to view the presentation he gave here:
