yes but if the power is off so is the mobile mast, however some appear to have generators at the foot of the mast, so perhaps not.

Applies servo pressure to all four brakes, you can feel it on the brake pedal taking over and slightly depressing it. Just crossed my mind that I learned 60 years ago o double declutch AND heel and toe at the same time, like patting your head and rubbing your tum at the same time. Car tests of that time often made mention if the brake and throttle pedal relationships allowed heel and toe. Allowed steep hill starts if the handbrake was weak, which it often was!

The electronic hand brake on my Nissan works very well, best of all it works on all four wheels and unlike well publicised occurrences on normal handbrakes on some other makes , never fails when the brakes cool down, A club mate is a Ford mechanic and he related a case of an electronic handbrake failure like the above, The vehicle was winched onto a recovery but they could not get it off so had to just cut the cables. Cost one thousand pounds to repair. I kept this in mind when replacing my old Volvo but the tech on the Nissan has been tptally reliable after seven years, touch wood. Still park with it n gear though!

Parking on pavement infuriated my wife when she was a childminder, out with a double buggy and another on foot. She ended up walking on the road in traffic with them. Worst was builders vans, etc. they think that gives them the right to block the pavement all day nearest to their work.

My X Trail has cameras below the door mirrors as well as front and rear, so can give a "birds eye view" when parking so you can line up exactly in the middle of a bay. That is the single aid I would have above all others

Has come over my house several times heading for Scone, engine at almost idle but still shifting some!

Always push away instead of pulling,, ,,,,that stops bruised knuckles etc if something slips

I have a 5 foot length of gas pipe which will shift anything up to the point of splitting sockets. Termed a wrecking bar perhaps? From my days working on a Series 3 Landie

I have Harrier 809 from the library just now. Reveals some of the skullduggery behind the scenes politically and the likes of assistance from Chile , the USA and France to the British. Also covers a bit ot the Argentinian story too. Recommended.

Just to expand on that, the esc (speed controller) will cut power to the motor when in use to prevent damage to the lipo by over discharge. They can then either be left at storage charge if leaving for a while , or charged fully ready for use ( but not for an extended length of time as this can cause deterioration) . Important I feel if expensive lipos , not so much if small capacity cheap ones

RC Croups website?

Use sign shop self adhesive vinyl to cover the depron, make ribs and a depron spar , use one sheet for top and bottom with the top wider to allow for the top curve, Cover in one piece flat, groove the fold point then fold with a batten to support the depron. There is a tutorial on U tube by Graeme Dorschel. the result is an extremely strong ding proof wing ideal for your purpose. Not sure if vinyl is fuel proof though.

not a guru----Inteesting link quoting 3 to 4 year old Evs at one third of new price. Also comment re lots of cars coming to end of lease, so could be a realistic buy for a private owner On the theme of tax on EVs, government must be thinking about road pricing given satellite tech. Just wonder how easy it would be to evade although lots fo cars seem to be not taxed on the present system.

slave channel 7 to elevator channel 3 should fix it

Began flying with a rudder and elevator Junior 60 and was then given an old Mannock biplane . First flight was a huge shock as left aileron made it smartly turn right and never having used the left stick up to then, was lucky to get it back on the field. CAR was the only answer at that stage in my flying career
