  1. Read in this mornings paper that undelivered parcels by Evri turned up at a car boot sale!
  2. Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year to all John
  3. This morning picked up one of the Lidl Pteranadons, free flight ,fan on top too, but if it flies well might enlarge for depron rc with a fan on top Should get a pointer as to CG and perhaps help with the problems you have had with the seagull. my missus has just nabbed the box, says will get it back Christmas Day ps £5 off fresh turkeys! cheap as chips!
  4. An acquaintance of mine left a job of 20 years , looking for a change, accompanied a courier for a few days then started full time. He discovered pretty quickly the round he was given as a newbie did not compare financially to the one he was shown and expected, and went back to his old employer. Old job already filled by two part timers.
  5. ambient, tiny one cell 380, should have been affected ,slotted battery cover, plenty cooling, but no difference to usual
  6. just been flying at -5 using small 380mah in a volantex f16, 15 minutes as usual, suspect all the above posts are a load of doodoo.
  7. Not really , I think the 224 was made in Ukraine, may be wrong
  8. Careful about polarity, remember Futaba and Spektrum use opposite, I label my leads prominently
  9. Point 3---- por will NOT eat the foam odourless superglue also will not , normal wil
  10. Found a parcel in our local supermarket partially opened, as the address was near me i took it round to them, Seems someone nicked it off the doorstep.
  11. Coming up to Christmas we can expect a lot more, the first one almost caught me out because I actually was expecting a delivery
  12. Turned out of no interest to a modeller, fixed off screen then flown ( successfully)
  13. The Arrows hawk probably uses the same esc, it looks tiny and my one gave up the ghost. Mind you this was after a few flights abusing it on 4 cells. Fun while it lasted!
  14. on Quest just now watching Henry Cole reviving a Puppeteer , which he calls a Magnatilla!
  15. I have found that small lipos , 2 or 3 cell, 1,000 or less are much more affected by sub zero temperature, obviously they have much less mass. Larger ones have time to heat up internally too if used hard
  16. Are some of the sequences taken in the Mach Loop? Seems similar at any rate. As an aside my old boss, a Wop/Airgunner mid nineteen forties, was most amused when Lily the Pink reached the charts and then Chitty Chitty Bang Bang appeared, both drinking songs with slightly different lyrics.
  17. Mobility provided by a car is so useful , especially when old, that is difficult to voluntarily give it up. I have sat beside two neighbours who when younger were excellent drivers and they both scared me. One exited every corner on the other side of the road, his daughter eventually persuaded him to give up but only after reversing into cars regularly and swiping my other neighbours mirror without realising, I am now in my seventies and I think I will approach a driving school when eighty or so to get a rating
  18. It is not widely known that William Tell invented yodelling, he was being chased up a Swiss valley by soldiers when a farmer saw and hid him in the barn. After the soldiers gave up the farmer gave him a meal and a bed for the night in the morning the farmer stood with Tell and showed him the track up the mountain which led to over to the next valley and safety .As he watched William Tell climb high above the farmers daughter appeared and said "father, that man came into my room and had his wicked way with me" "Tell , after all I did for you , you ravaged my daughter" called the farmer up the mountain William Tell cupped his hands and shouted back "And your old ladeee toooo"
  19. after a series of Epsons which all gave trouble after a few years I have bought a Canon , so hoping it lasts longer
  20. Also take down the throttle trim as far as it goes, I don't see anyone has mentioned this?
  21. When a rugby player has suspected concussion he is taken off and asked questions like "who is the prime minister" Not many would get that right!
  22. Just had a test drive of the electric Qashqui, petrol motor drives a generator , one electric motor drives the front wheels , full of tech like head up display but the price is £37,000, no way would I pay that for a car
