  1. My mate is always doing daft things. Yesterday he pulled out a nose hair just to see if it hurt. He said, “Judging by the reaction of the bloke asleep next to me on the bus, it’s pretty painful.
  2. Or maybe not😁 https://youtu.be/8vmOngK18xg
  3. I bought a pair of over sunglasses from here and find them to be ideal for my use. The added advantage is that they prevent my eyes from watering when facing into the wind as my specs are quite small framed.

  5. Every member of our club is required to sign the following form on joining. Members can therefore comply or not with regulation as they wish but it is on their own back.
  6. A bit off topic - sorry - but my old phone was running Android 7 and some new apps wouldn't work and I wasn't going to spend a grand or more for a new phone so I bought a CUBOT X50 from Amazon for £210 - it's superb - it runs Android 11 and only thing it's missing is 5G compatability but we don't have much 5G here so no problem.
  7. Interesting thread title. I have one plane that, when I fly it, I always make the comment that "it's got no soul" , and that is a Ripmax Easystreet 2. I think I make the comment because I find it boring un-interesting to fly.?
  8. Interesting vid on government control of EV charging - https://youtu.be/jMagvdqlF9c
  9. I believe that Germany is well stocked with model shops (including Horizon Hobbies) just Google "German RC Model shops" - no problems getting stuff from them delivered to France.
  10. We haven't had any service whatsoever since the start so "extra" is not valid?
  11. Am I the only person to have been sent this email??? I thought the forum would be buzzing about it by now?, or has everybody just ignored it? . I have completed the survey (survey monkey!!) but it seemed to me that some of the questions were actually checks on the answers I had given to previous questions but, then, I'm highly suspicious, not to mention extremely sceptical, about any kind of government questionaire.
  12. Neoprene fuel tubing is good also rubber plant tie like this available from garden centres - has a suede texture to it and there a groove down the middle once you remove the wire.
  13. Nice to see you're still around, FTB. You're still registered on our club Forum if you ever fancy posting? (https://buchanaeromodellers.proboards.com/)
  14. Near as gnats 7/64" Model Fixings and fittings:-
  15. I bought two pairs of these Mighty Sight glasses and I can thoroughly recommend them. I recently constructed an electronic gadget on a teeny circuit board and I couldn't have soldered it up without these. They have a magnification of 1.6 which I found just right for the range I was using them at and they have to be sat almost on the end of your nose to work properly so you can wear your normal specs at the same time if necessary.?
  16. I have a live steam model boat which I enjoy running (when the boating pond is filled - don't ask?) and because of lockdown I've passed all three Amateur Radio exams so I'm a top banana in that and enjoy morse code communications to far corners of the world.
  17. Club officials are all volunteers so they would be absolutely mad to accept any liability for the enforcement of any government legislation - I certainly don't - all my club members have to sign a disclaimer that they are personally responsible for any legal transgressions.
  18. For info general pricing has increased by 150% since 1989 i.e. £100 then is £250 now
  19. Obviously, only incidents that result in an insurance claim should be reported to the authorities.
  20. I notice that the browser tabs (Chrome) for the site say "Invision Community" and not "Model Flying" - looks like all the web pages have been given a default title.

  22. There use to be a guy in the RC Helicopter world called Kevin Maxwell (aka Beavis Original) and his method of training was to stand behind the pupil and double up on the controls that way - oo-er missus - slightly uncomfortable
