  1. From memory Allan is correct, you need to configure the Tx for the type of battery you are using. I removed the battery for charging as I believed that LiFe requires a specific charging regime, with my charging of the battery done via an external charger set specifically for LiFe type batteries. The LiFe batteries last for a long time in my Tx, I have never found external charging to be a problem, although I do take a second battery with me as a spare. (Never had to use it). However, I am no expert and others more knowledgable may correct my procedures and assumptions
  2. I have successfully used a LiFe battery in my T8FG. However it MUST be removed from the TX for charging. I purchased the battery from HobbyKing, Zippy 2500 6.6 volt %c Rx series On a bar code is 2200008691158 Hope this assists you.
  3. https://www.odt.co.nz/news/your-news/drone-footage-flooding-taieri-0   or: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ci6EFWltAPk   This is the result of a massive rain storm on Friday/ Saturday which delivered over a months rain in a day! Guess it is building time.
  4. Marital Misunderstanding How men and women record things in their diaries... Wife’s Diary: Tonight, I thought my husband was acting weird. We had made plans to meet at a nice restaurant for dinner. I was shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit late, but he made no comment on it. Conversation wasn’t flowing, so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so we could talk. He agreed, but he didn’t say much. I asked him what was wrong; He said, ‘Nothing.’ I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset. He said he wasn’t upset, that it had nothing to do with me, and not to worry about it. On the way home, I told him that I loved him. He smiled slightly, and kept driving. I can’t explain his behavior. I don’t know why he didn’t say, ‘I love you, too.’ When we got home, I felt as if I had lost him completely, as if he wanted nothing to do with me anymore. He just sat there quietly, and watched TV. He continued to seem distant and absent. Finally, with silence all around us, I decided to go to bed. About 15 minutes later, he came to bed. But I still felt that he was distracted, and his thoughts were somewhere else. He fell asleep; I cried. I don’t know what to do. I’m almost sure that his thoughts are with someone else. My life is a disaster. Husband’s Diary: A one-foot putt ... who misses a one-foot putt.
  5. Thank you for drawing my attention to this magnificent series again. I really enjoyed the series when it was shown on TV in the 70s. I had to watch it in Black and White back then as we did not have a colour TV in those days, so viewing it in colour for the first time is an extra treat. I have watched S1E1 and can't wait to move on through the series. Thank you again.
  6. While on a road trip, an elderly couple stopped at a roadside restaurant for lunch. After finishing their meal, they left the restaurant and resumed their trip. When leaving, the elderly woman unknowingly left her glasses on the table, and she didn’t miss them until they had been driving for about forty minutes. To add to the aggravation, they had to travel quite a distance before they could find a place to turnaround, in order to return to the restaurant to retrieve her glasses. All the way back, the elderly husband became the classic grumpy old man, he fussed and complained and scolded his wife relentlessly during the entire return drive. The more he chided her, the more agitated he became, he just wouldn’t let up for a single minute. To her relief they finally arrived back at the restaurant. As the woman got out of the car and hurried inside to retrieve her glasses, the old geezer yelled at her, ‘while your in there you might as well get my hat and the credit card!’
  7. Joe, a notoriously bad golfer, hits his ball off the first tee and watches as it slices to the right and disappears through an open window. Figuring that’s the end of it, he gets another ball out of his bag and plays on. On the eighth hole, a policeman walks up to Joe and says, “Did you hit a golf ball through a window back there?” Joe says, “Yes I did.” “Well,” says the police officer, “it knocked a lamp over, scaring the dog, which raced out of the house on to the road. A driver rammed into a wall to avoid the dog, sending three people to hospital. And it’s all because you sliced the ball.” “Oh my goodness,” says Joe, “is there anything I can do?” “Yes there is,” the cop says. “Try keeping your head down and close up your stance a bit.”
  8. A Hill Billy boy and his father were in a mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and then slide back together again. The boy asked, "What is this Father?" The father (never having seen an elevator) responded, "Son, I have never seen anything like this in my life, I don't know what it is." While the boy and his father were watching with amazement, a fat old lady in a wheel chair moved up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially. They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order. Finally the walls opened up again and a gorgeous 24 year old blonde stepped out. The father said quietly to his son, "Go get your mother."
  9. Two 90-year old guys, Leo and Frank, had been friends all of their lives. When it was clear that Leo was dying, Frank visited him every day. One day Frank said, “Leo, we both loved playing softball all our lives, and we played all through High School. Please do me one favour when you get to Heaven. Somehow you must let me know if there's softball there.” Leo looked up at Frank from his deathbed and said, “Frank, you've been my best friend for many years. If it's at all possible, I'll do this favour for you.” Shortly after that, Leo passed on. A few nights later, Frank was awakened from a sound sleep by a blinding flash of white light and a voice calling out to him, “Frank! Frank!” “Who is it?” asked Frank sitting up suddenly. “Who is it?” “Leo. It's me, Leo.” “You're not Leo! Leo just died.” “I'm telling you, it's me, Leo”, insisted the voice. “Leo! Where are you?” “In Heaven,” replied Leo. “I have some really good news and a little bad news.” “Tell me the good news first,” said Frank. “The good news,’ Leo said, “is that there's softball in Heaven. Better yet, all of our old buddies who died before us are here, too. Better than that, we're all young again. Better still, it's always springtime, and it never rains or snows. And best of all, we can play softball all we want, and we never get tired.” “That's fantastic,” said Frank. “It's beyond my wildest dreams! So what's the bad news?” “You're pitching Tuesday.”
  10. Last night I was sitting on the sofa watching TV when I heard my wife's voice from the kitchen, 'what do you feel like for dinner my love ......... chicken, beef or lamb?' I said, ' chicken please'. She replied, 'You're having soup you, I was talking to the cat!
  11. A kangaroo kept getting out of his enclosure at the zoo. Knowing that he could hop pretty high, the zoo officials put up an 8-foot fence. The next morning, however, the kangaroo was out again, idly roaming around the zoo. The zoo officials raised the height of the fence to ten feet. Again, however, the next morning the kangaroo was again roaming about the zoo. This kept on, night after night, until the fence was 20 feet high. Finally, the camel in the next enclosure asked the kangaroo, "How high do you think they'll go?" The kangaroo replied, "Who knows? Maybe 50 feet. Unless somebody starts locking the gate at night."

  13. After being married for 50 years, I took a careful look at my wife one day and said, "Fifty years ago we had a cheap house, a junk car, slept on a sofa-bed and watched a 10-inch black and white TV. But hey I got to sleep every night with a hot 23-year-old girl. Now ... I have a $750,000 home, a $45,000 car, a nice big bed and a large screen TV, but I'm sleeping with a 73-year-old woman. So I said to my wife "it seems to me that you're not holding up your side of things." My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and find a hot 23-year-old girl and she would make sure that I would once again be living in a cheap house, driving a junk car, sleeping on a sofa bed and watching a 10-inch black and white TV. Aren't older women great? They really know how to solve an old guy's problems!
  14. …….As she sat by him, he whispered, his eyes full of tears, "You know what? You have been with me all through the bad times. When I got fired, you were there to support me. When my business failed, you were there. When I got shot, you were by my side. When we lost the house, you stayed right here. When my health started failing, you were still by my side... You know what Martha?" "What dear?" she gently asked, smiling as her heart began to fill with warmth. "I'm beginning to think you're bad luck."
