Posted by Stephen Tye on 05/04/2015 10:04:31: To be honest i'v not found anything that i can't do before.. Ok let me try!!! Well done for getting into this hobby, its great, and you,ll love it for a lifetime if you do it right. You had enough interest to finish a mascot so well done! I did that too, and got someone that knew what they were doing to instruct me... 25yrs plus later im still doing it. There are loads of people that have aptitudes to doing many things, and can do things when they put their minds to it, however they wouldnt last long say if they tried skydiving, piloting a real plane, lion dentistry, or bomb disposal. Have you tried any of these? Model flying as easy as it seems, isn't. If the price of joining a club is a consern that you cant see a benefit from, you are definitely in the wrong hobby, start building airfix kits!!

heck i could fit through it!

you know its big when you can pass another model through the turbine housing!

Ok! Im signed up!

My dads lawnflite with a b&s engine has been going 20+ years! Servicing 2 quite large gardens!!

................

Speechless...the model and the workshop..... Enjoy the holiday! I,ll be here waiting for more.....

Me.

Interesting question! It should be a poll! 1 elec plane at the mo. With 3 separate lipos, i would try and get 2 flights per battery! So 1 plane : 6 flights. I.ll have a second plane this spring, so i.ll look to double that! Good to see that someone else keeps a log book of flights and times! I thought it was just me! Is this common practice then at other clubs? Kk

I'm sick of the idiots who still (despite warnings to desist) ride about at all hours on those ridiculous noisy motorized scooters - also seemingly without control Hang on is this the 'Have a Rant ' thread again?

Posted by cymaz on 05/02/2015 22:00:32: The bmfa rag is really not my cup of tea........" The cats get more enjoyment with it in the litter tray than I do out of it, I'm afraid.

not with a cat bed though...

the decision that is fair, would i believe include for the postage back to China... or through negotiation China may just refund in full and say keep it... i had this a couple of times.

get spec's of a large and small cat bed from another reputable source and send to ebay seller through the 'resolve a problem' process. at the end of the process an ebay representative can make a decision on what is fair! Which to the sounds of it will be to your advantage.

common! paid through paypal?

Posted by Andy48 on 23/01/2015 12:42:15: Posted by Cuban8 on 23/01/2015 11:42:03: Only potential problem with using the caravan socket or long extension leads, is the considerable voltage drop across them when charging at the higher currents taken by say six or eight cell packs. Really? The permanent live connection is 10amps. Do the sums. Allowing 5 metres of cable between the battery and charger, at 10amps the voltage drop is 1.25 volts. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. I use a pair of extension cables...i have done a couple of times, i thot it was a good idea to get charger and batteries away from the car. Im i still ok to do this then?.... I charge 3&4s lipos at 1c when i can but may up to 2c in these colder times.....?

I still think for good publicity (to a captive audience who are interested in aviation) more model shows should be combined / integrated with full size air shows, it has been done before at several air shows. And has the potential to reach 1,000's+ pairs of eyes (maybe 10,000's), compared to 100's at a specialist model show. There would also be a better publicity, bigger draw for caterers, press, supporting stalls, car clubs, better cleaning/ baby change/ WC facilities, etc. Although we may not admit it, there is not enough of a draw to this hobby for kids in their teens/ 20's. And it could be perceived as a bit boring standing in a field watching small planes fly around. Imagine the roar of a Vulcan taking off, its like nothing else, hits you in your chest and you have to stare, now imagine a model of the same aircraft, if the crowd is 2 deep you don't necessarily get to see it parked up, taxing or rolling for take off as views are blocked, so for wives and kids it can be frustrating. If the hobby needs mass publicity, it seems a good way to me. If models have regular appearances at full size air shows, kids remember them and search them out at the next one, dad gets to see jnr smiling and excited, he gets out his cheque book, etc..etc.. its a common storey that once you start in this hobby you are more than likely to come back to it...

Does anyone know how many attended the nationals 2014?

Wow... cant wait for the plan! K
