Grahame,
Just a quick tip on the exhaust tubing if I may,
I recently had a similar problem on one of my Nephews R/C Cars where the silicon tubing had melted joining the manifold to the tuned pipe....and this is on a Nitro Engine. Wanting to do a quick easy fix without travelling miles to a model shop or waiting for mail order, I went to Halfords and got some car radiator hosing.. ok, it cost me just under £5 but I have plenty spare and as it is quite thick walled stuff it wont melt easily. Given the sort of temperatures it is designed for in a proper car, I don't see this stuff burning away just yet. The High temp Fuel tube as sold in Halfords would probably do just as well for your model as it is slightly small diameter and still thick walled.
Just use a couple of small hose clamps to secure and it's done.
So far my quick fix on the car has worked well and has had several runs, the Tubing is still as good as when it was fitted.
Ps......Glad you managed to get some flying in, she looks fine in the air.
Regards......Mark
