Stand back....
I've analyzed this and I know watt's going on!

As said before don't use grease as it picks up dust etc and turns into grinding paste , use a drylube ie a dry siliconespray/ ptfe spray etc

looking good there Pete, Brian has done a great job looking forward to see it aloft
and I concur that those aerostar props are good too, nice and efficient profiles.

I was always told to measure twice and cut once, but they left out which side of the line to cut to

Thanks Flight1. Surprise, surprise - Hobby King don't have either of those chargers in stock. I'm yet to buy anything from them as they never have it available !
i know got to be quick with hobbyking due to its competitive prices. i've lost out taking to long to think and it's sold out that day.
As for an alternative don't need hobbking/ the same charger but under another name see here in stock and available with uk plug
+ if you got a wireless charging device/phone it does wireless charging! who!/whoEdited By flight1 on 21/10/2020 16:14:25

well how fast do you want to charge at i would go for this for faster charging and two slower/cheaper turnigy chargers .
if you have one charger for all 4 then if it goes wrong you are stuck
also be carfull of the wattage rating on multichannel chargers because is it 200w on all channels or is it shared between?

The x vario works off the sbus so no need to worry about what 2.4 protocol is being used its weather you got a telemetry capable tx and rx , also the rx has a S.BUS2" or "SB2 port on it which you plug the x vario in.

They are made from PTFE (teflon) I bought a stick off eBay and used my drill as a lathe, done it for two ods os's now crude but works. a lathe is much/a lot better
available from here natural and not glass filled for exsample

well as I read it by Jan 21 you should have upgraded to the new regulations. All heat and smoke alarms will have to be interlinked (either wirelesly or wired). Inter linking has been require for some time now. for a easy setup just get wireless interlinked alarms with 10 year lithium bats and then you can forget about them untilll they need replacment in 10 years. as for carbon monoxide they don't need to be interlinked
As for tolerable standard means a guidence thats not set in stone so you can make ajustments for say a open plan house etc.

I know nothing of it but just search youtube and a few videos about it turn up. It is a horizonhobby product so you could get info there.

Hi don't know what your budget is but
here are some deals Asus tend to have the right quality zen book are professionals (metal cace etc) and vivobooks are still good

to answer the op question is that most 2.4 systems currently are good and reliable most problems are due to the istallation/broken or placement of arials and the most common is battery(I had a battery go down last weekend and telemetry saved the day aborted take off as the tx screamed 3.7v rx voltage
and now i get to fly again my lovley scale luton minor)So if on budget(like me) your choice of make will be based on RX costs so choices are
one of the Frsky radio's which you can plug a module in back for your legacy RX's
FlySky Paladin PL18 (very under rated and under expposed)
Radiomaster T16s multipotocol fantastic ( not as refined as my Horus x12s) the future
and please note if you have a frsky om optx you can have a R9M 868MHz Module and compatable reduntancy rx and the 2.4 rx for extra security on two frequancy bands like jeti in a way)

Don't thin jb weld it will change the chemical adhesion abilities to metal and weaken it a lot . Just plonk the two sealed tubes in a tub of hot water for a bit (15 min) then mix well ( as with all epoxys) and it will be quite runny more than enough to run into the metal tube. + remember to clean/ degrease the metal and abrade the surfaces to be stuck and it will stick well.

Well if a electronic circuit is designed to run at a said voltage it should do so , anything above that will generate excessive heat that the either the circuit can cope with or not, but will shorted it's service life.
Running at more than 5v is a chance you either take or don't, fit a diode to drop voltage and then don't worry
as for me parroting the specs the MKS designers put it there for a reason but Hay ho
-
a short answer is yes you are risking it. The manufactures states
NOTE: Use with 4 cell Nicd/NiMH battery or use UBEC (4.8V~5.0V)
as quoted from MKS site
it's all red type How??

Where does it tell you what TX' models that don't comply with ?

Well is that in a Finish museum? mines a bid different going off the pictures from the Duch one . the spats and the tail plane struts are the most obvious

How big is it?
The clue is 1/5 scale mercury 9 cylinder engine required
-
yup fokker d21 it shall hopefully be recognizable as such when finished,
Mind you looks like a lot done but I know I'am not even halfway done.
The delemma is the engine a 40/50cc petrol 4t would do, got to start saving , any one got a cheep 1/5 scale mercury radial?
