It's a bit spendy, bit this table from SLEC is very good, my dad has used one for ages. The average glow flight box is plenty to keep it restrained.
edit: good job on the trestle, N50

I had one of these but it did not last. Older versions were made from wood but buy one now and it is all MDF. the MDF can start to peel apart if you are not careful with it

looks good

Thanks for the quick replys
Posted by Trevor on 12/11/2018 10:36:46:I'd recommend making the bench at a comfortable height to work standing, then buy a stool you can perch on if you wish. More important than the bench itself though, is where you are going to put it. Having access to both sides is a big help when building something that's pinned down. If you can't do that then make sure you use a building board on top of the bench that can be swivelled round to work on the far side of the project.
Trevor
Trevor I think you are right about standing height. Thinking about my old setup although I sat at the desk I did normally stand to place any part of the model.
the ebay option does look good and it will be cheaper than building it myself from scratch. but I though a self build would be a fun project and be more satisfying. Also I can make it to suit my needs such as leaving the top overhanging at the front to allow me to attach my clam on vice.

having been working on an old dressing table that was really too small to be used as a workbench I have decided to attempt to build my own. I am looking for some pointers about the design
something simple is all I need and the design above would be relatively easy to build but I have one major concern.
the lower shelf adds rigidity and strength as well as providing a handy storage space but will it make it uncomfortable to sit at the bench with a chair. Do I need a chair or is it better to make a bench for working on standing

you could try an official looking sign. It may deter some of the drone operators. I know people who have had success with faux official no parking signs

Off topic post deleted - anymore will attract sanctions.
I am not messing about here - return to topic.

I think they should have more lighter electric vehicles based more on tricycles than cars

Oh look, a duplicate post I have to delete - see Phil I do need to look in, its my job.
Percy you realy must try to read the posts more carefully, I'm fully aware of who the OP was and I never said I believed it was your personal thread, even though you may well be the originator of the largest number of posts in it. My comment was in a PS, a separate paragraph, (new subject) and I was using the plural form of "your" meaning all of those who wish to continue this thread.

well I know if anyone else continually kept dragging a thread off topic because they always wanted the last word their post would be deleted

I will look in from time to time (when I feel I have the stength) to check all is well, there are no duplicate posts and you haven't strangled each other yet!
please don't bother

I don't think we need two threads on what many see as an utterly tedious topic of very little relevance to model aeroplanes!

That is why it is in the chat section is it not?

that is the norm on most TXs. Unless as stated above it has a model match facility to prevent this.
A model is LIVE with a battery connected.
Imagine the potential damage if your friend had run up the prop on one restrained model whilst the one he placed back in the pits is busy chewing through the other club members behind him
I often bring my young son with me to the field. If I had observed a member doing something similar stern words would have followed

one of these makes a great sound -
here is my take and it echo's some comments above
I use stick on Velcro to stop the battery moving back and forth and use a strap to tie it down. or I have used foam pieces glued in to make a battery tray to stop lateral movement
I guess you could wrap Velcro around a battery and attach it to itself so it wont un-stuck but I much prefer to fix the strap to the body of the model

what if you have a model that uses a phone as the controller

may thanks for all the replies. I guess £300 is not a great deal of money these days but still it is not something I can afford to lose out on

one thing that has not ben commentated on her (and that is to their credit) is the German modelers. Having lived in Germany for a while I know they would have had doubts about potentially representing Nazi Germany. But they are helping to tell the storey without bias. they are showing true dignify and also bringing with them a sense of humour and fun. They obviously have a true passion for the hobby

, obviously properly tracked.
well that is my question really what is properly tracked.
last time I had a problem was with the post office. I sent my mum a Christmas present signed for and it was never delivered. although I had proof of postage it was never delivered. they handed me a long form and they said fill this out and they will investigate it. result of the investigation "item lost" I was refunded the price of postage only.

I have a rather expensive item I want to sell on ebay and hope to get £250 - £300 pounds for it. what method of postage should I use

does anyone know any details of the FVP equipment used?

the fun in boats is in the building. once built it may become a shelf queen

some very good inflight footage I thought

i just hope they focus on the aircraft and not on "personalities" like most tv shows do these days.
fingers crossed for a great and interesting show.

they seem to have found suitably diverse group of modelers. some of them don't seem to have flown a model before ie the Navy full size pilot.

would this low cost version be worth a try? what added features will the Silhouette Cameo give me?
-
I would love a plotter/cutter for producing my own vinyl stickers and paint masks .
Has anyone here have any experience with this. I have never used one before so are the tricky to use. What would be a good entry level model to buy

Wow Cymaz, you did well to manage to fly it without the wings!
I know a song about that
