I bought two HOOVO 4s 5,000 last year on E-bay. mis ordered some how , probably blinded by the attractive price.They came hard cased ( for car use?) and with a lot of foam wadding so no hope of fitting in the intended plane . Stripped them and re-wrapped. also the stated capacity seems very optimistic, however otherwise performing well so far -

Two Arrows Hawks delivered Tuesday, from China, no problem with charges at all, £200 for two, bargain. -
Last week Windows 10 on my old laptop reverted to win7 , I believe because 10 is no longer supported ? No worries since my new laptop is not on Windows , and much faster too .Perhaps not connected with the OP though?

An owl used our tables as a vantage point to hunt voles in the long grass in the out field. Had the unsanitary habit of leaving poo and pellets on the tables though. The farmer when whacking the boundary hedge also thought he would do a good turn by also whacking our long grass. No more poo and pellets. -

Young chap from work bought a shed kit on a very wet day so him and his pal thought they would do a trial build inside his bedroom. Found it was impossible to dismantle in the restricted space -

The up and over doors are a problem, eating into the space overhead. My mate Sandy has had remote control roller doors installed and he says it gives much more usable storage space. Not maybe welcome for a new build I realise. -
Middle of lidl today found LED strip lights 1.25 metre long , bought two in anticipation for my up coming workshop build, haven't priced any where else but ai £11.99 each must be a bargain?

I tried a quad esc in my Sunderland thinking it would simplify and be lighter than four separate esc's. Not so in practice, Three wires times two in each wing (twelve total) to motors., instead of two from per wing times two two(four total) to esc's , so ended up actually much heavier than option 1 .

An old sailor walks into a pub, wooden peg leg, hook for one hand and a patch over one eye. Orders a beer while the regulars are eyeing him up. eventually one summons up the courage and asks "How did you get a wooden leg?" "Oh arrr shark bit it off in Indian Ocean, now I wears the peg, oh arr" "What about the hook?" ' "Oh arr, Got into a fight with a shipmate, cut me 'and off, now I wears an 'ook oh arr" "So how did you lose an eye" "Oh arr twas in the Bahamas , blowing a full gale, looked up at the rigging and a seagull pooped in me eye oh arr now I wears a patch oh arr" " Lost your eye because a seagull pooped in it?" "Arr well twas the first day I had the ook , see oh arr"
