  1. Reading the report it is obvious that these commercial quadcopters operating at weights like this present a grave danger to people when in free fall The joules mentioned were not really surprising .And they are very common at all kinds of events now.
  2. Mini roundabouts are tricky , there is one at the bottom of my street and few slow down for it .
  3. My sister had this done a few weeks ago , in and out in 25 minutes , no problem. Her daughter is an optromatist and knew the surgeon who waived his fees so m y sister only had the hospital fees. Not bad! spelling is wrong , I know can't be bothered to look it up.
  4. Just had a lot of teeth gnashing because my tickets for Flying Legends would not print. Tried every thing. Eventually bought a new printer of the same brand since I have unused cartridges. Still wouldn't print so sent the E-mail to myself and it did print. Perhaps my first printer was perfectly ok but will never know as I had already taken it to the council tip GRRR
  5. You missed a lovely afternoon, hot, no wind . After a few flights we dismantled the electric fence and strimmed the untidy bits so all ticketyboo now
  6. Downloaded the update to my DX6 then bound to an AR630 but forward progamming is missing in the menu to access AS3X. A clubmate did it successfully to his DX6 and we used his SD card to update mine .Might this be guilty?
  7. My experience suggests that Orange and Lemon works well with DSM2 but with a DSMX transmitter I get total loss for a few seconds, then range test ok later. After crashing some nice planes I have retired them all and fly solely with Spectrum receivers. Quite expensive but not worth losing good planes. I once bought a batch of six receivers from HK and had problems with every single one, began to suspect my DSMX transmitter and sent it away, but same issues so asked HK for a refund , given without question, but only after losing several planes
  8. The one in the vid certainly sounded much stronger than your one!
  9. Deans have a spring which can weaken and give poor contact, also difficult to undo with arthritic fingers. XT s every time and you can score the case for extra grip
  10. A 5s which has one duff cell is a good 12volt supply, I use one for the led running light on my old Triumph . Saves breaking into the bikes wiring so keeps it original when removed
  11. His private worth is some thing around £1.5 billion as reported in the papers
  12. With a battery for each ESC one way is to slave one throttle to the other, simple and avoids unusual effects which can crop up. From personal experience !
  13. Found the answer, Microsoft were putting all my photos on One Drive without my knowledge, taking up alot of space. I store all my own photos on sticks so once I deleted a few on One drive it is business as usual
  14. pumping the throttle can often give you a little extra juice to make it over the runway threshhold , but yours was too far out
  15. Leaving day at my secondary one of the teachers cars was put up on bricks just enough for the driving wheel on the passenger side to clear the ground but not enough to be obvious. Took him 15 mins if I remember.
  16. After a tip on another thread I downloaded the BRAVE browser which does eliminate ads on you tube etc. but in this case sadly back page ends in a blank
  17. Took some rubble to the local tip last year, climbed into the trailer to shovel it out and was told to get out in case I fell off .I have problems with the tendons in my shoulder if working high so protested and was told I would be asked to leave. No option but to comply A new worker is some one I know from work 20 years ago so might be ok now
  18. For many years I have used Microsofts free mail , Outlook , previously Live without any trouble. A few weeks ago messages from now back to 2017 disappeared, at the same time a pop up at the head of the page came up saying my storage allowance was 5GB and my usage was 7.1GB. Clicking on the pop up you can increase storage by buying extra for £60 a year or £75 a year or lose most of the features . Obviously a whizz kid at Microsoft has come up with the bright idea to blackmail users by this and raise revenue, anyone else affected?
  19. Often they are different diameters and need new connectors soldered on, good soldering practice, make sure no dry joints though. Good to buy a selection to keep as a standby
  20. Another frosty start then cloudless with no wind in Perth like the last few days so my son Ian and i set off for the field. Edf Lidl glider , volantex P51 for me and Ian had foam Wot 4 and volantex P40 which somehow encountered a small tree, small enough to get down with the clubs long hook. Saw Bobs clips flying three , yes three volantex fighters simultaneously on one tx. Clips are on my i phone , tried to email to my laptop so I can put them here with no luck, will try another way. Forecast says we we are to get the weather tomorrow pm so will make whoopee in the morning
  21. \The Diamond Twin powered by two diesel engines bucks the trend, used by the local flying school for twin training and seen over my house several times a day, someone at the club said the other day it was so economical it could easily cross the Pond in one go. Teknic uber whatsit
