  1. Yes there is often confusion between the RF side of things and the software that does all the mixing etc.

    OpenTX is the operating sytem software that operate over multple platforms(transmitters from different makes etc).

    on the Rf side in the rc world there are only a few RF chips are used and many manufactures use the same ones. these are designed to transmit/recieve) on the 2.4Ghz band and this is ware the word protocol comes in and this is the firmware comes to play with each manufacturing using its own format of coded data packages to be sent/recieved which contain the info needed for each control.

    I don't know if you can own a protocol' out right as so much of it's code is in common us, they all just using a coded pin to keep it in 'house'.

    it's all so complicated

  2. Well you can't beat laser cutter for accuracy and ease.

    Hving said that I've got a scrol saw and I find it hard to track a line, but when I tried a band saw it was a lot better so when funds allow I will get one.

    good quality blades make a differance and you can stack the wood up to make multibles with all cut matching

    Practical rpm range 2,500 to 18,000 rpm, that should sound good, cheeky

    18000 rpm on 30cc who's dreaming and it should be under 82db too!laugh

    Practical rpm range !! 9000 it should be, but it is the torque that tells all

  4. I've started using these. had the red one for a year 1/2 and all good. and will be using electronic switches from now on

    all have a very small current leakage when off . these types of switches have proved to be very reliable on many devises.

    When I have in the past look inside the standard mechanicals rc switch i am not surprised that so many have failures, proberly the biggest cause of crashes next to battery failure not charged (the biggest cause is 'dum thumbs' but no one likes to admint to that, do we?)

  8. As for building board i have used plasterboard which is efective and cheap enough to be replace with each model build and as always a strong stable and flat bench for it to be placed on, which a good scrap piece of kitchen worktop of suitable size works well.

    But I have just bought some magnets and am going to try a metal /magnet one (ferrite channel magnets x40 to start)

    the guidance i am going to use is from these two sites

  9. I move accounts 5 years ago from a rather archaic natwest account to barclays very easy.
