  1. A multi millionaire arrived back at the airport after several weeks on safari in a remote part of Africa, cut off from outside. The chauffeur loaded the cases in the Bentley and the two of them set off The millionaire leaned forwards and said " Every thing all right while I was away?" "Well there is good news and bad news" " Give me the bad news" " Your favourite race horse broke a leg and had to be put down" "What, that was a superb yearling, just ready for it's first race. How did it break a leg?" " A burning beam from the stable fell on it" " Stable on fire? how?" " Very windy day, sparks from the house blew over and landed on the roof " " My two hundred year old mansion! how could that catch fire!" " A window was open and we think a curtain blew out and toppled a candle on your mothers coffin" "Oh no no not mother, that's enough, what is the good news?" "Well with all the heat the daffodils have come uo two months early!"
  2. The Doc sent me to Audiology , was tested and given a cancellation for the next day, Hearing aids matched to frequency loss, now can hear birds, digital bleeps and I can turn the tv sound down too. Adjustable on bluetooth and can listen to music as earpieces. Beware high street chemists selling the same for £500 a side, also on line from China for £30 which are not matched to your hearing.
  3. Nose ballast is literally dead weight. J60 was my first rc plane 40 years ago and I knew enough even at that time to extend the engine bearers so ballast was not needed, Why has no one mentioned this simple mod ?
  4. Just seen a clip on YouTube, using a carbon stick removed from a dry battery, installed in a ceramic insulator from a spark plug and hooked up to a lithium from an 18v drill , showing how to weld on small metal items , impressive but in the wrong way. A lead acid 12v might be safer?
  5. on YouTube , insight into development of drone delivery systems. I don't do links , can someone do the honours?
  6. I had a high capacity 4s with one duff cell so thought i would remove the bad cell, Still don;t know what happened but the pack shorted and went on fire, managed to throw it out the shed door in time , so be very careful
  7. A lady was passing a pet shop, in the window sat a beautiful African Grey parrot with a sign saying 50 pounds. She went in and said " That is a gorgeous parrot, why is it so cheap?" The shopkeeper replied " The police raided a house of ill repute and seized all the contents, we were given the parrot to be sold . However bearing in mind it;s history , although it is an excellent talker, it might not be suitable for a domestic environment" "For 50 pounds I'll take a chance" On reaching home she put the stand and cage in the corner and took off the cover. The parrot looked around and squawked " New place , new place very nice , very nice " Just then her two teenage daughters came in and the parrot went " New girls too, new girls too, very nice, very nice" Shortly the husband entered and this time the parrot went " Allo Frank! Allo Frank! "
  8. Seems it was connected directly to a heater, what would protect it
  9. Swollen you mean? Lipos must have protection from over discharge, did this have it?
  10. solder after determining wnich rotation you need tractor or pusher
  11. Cymaz's contribution above reminded me. A mates daughter in law is in charge of A and E in a nearby large city. Chap came in with a toy horse jammed up in a most awkward place, short time later a relative phoned to ask how he was. She was unable to refrain from replying " He is in a stable condition"
  12. Yes , yesterday found a package on the step, I was in so they never rang the bell, I wouid suppose if challenged the reply will be " too busy " as above
  13. Disposable vapes already have been under scrutiny for these reasons , causing fires in bin lorries and of course the harm to the environment by discards on the street. Apparently millions per week. What really annoys me is the length of time it takes for such a hazard to be dealt with when it is so obvious from the start a few years ago
  14. Won't all the planes absorb the echo?
