I Used Gorilla glue on mine, Had it over 3 years now. You have to be able to hold the two parts together very well or they try and separate while it bubbles up, you can then sand it back gently for a nice smooth join line. Its been very good though, i`ve ploughed it into the ground a few times and it holds up very well. you can hold it horizontal at one wing tip and wiggle it about with no flex I wouldn't recommend the Deluxe foam 2 foam on the wings for it, the little tail pieces maybe, I used some on the tail feathers of a foam glider a while back, it doesn't seem to set properly and always stays a bit too flexible for things like joining wing sections together

Just checked its a Hacker A30-14L, Link ESC is a Hobbywing Pentium 60A Link 12 x 6 APC-E Prop Gens Ace 3300 4s battery`s ( not 3600 after checking  I haven`t got wattmeter tests anymore but ESC is barely warm after 8 mins of batting about This is the same set up motor / prop wise but flown better than I can manage, I think he`s using a 45 A ESC -

I`ve got one, I reckon its my favourite model, small enough to throw in the car fully built up, but flies better than a couple of my bigger models. Went together very easily Using Hitec HS-85MG Servo`s throughout with Long aluminium arms, Hacker Motor ( cant remember which off the top of my head ) on 4s 3600mAh and it balances perfectly with no extra weight

As the Item was not bought in person from a shop it is covered under the new consumer contracts regulations 2014 which states - o Cancellation rights will continue to apply to off-premises and distance contracts only. The cancellation period will extend from the current 7 calendar days (for off-premises) and 7 working days (for distance sales) to 14 calendar days for both to give consumers more time to change their minds. o Consumers should return items within 14 days of cancellation o Online and other distance or off-premises traders will be able to withhold refunds until goods are returned (or evidence of return is provided) and they can reduce the amount of money refunded for goods returned which show evidence of use beyond the handling necessary to see whether the goods are as expected. o Traders must refund within 14 days of cancellation of service contract or receipt of goods (or of evidence of the consumer returning them). o Where the consumer cancels a contract, any ancillary contract (such as a warranty or credit agreement) is automatically cancelled

I don`t think George North should have carried on in the second half, he was clearly worse for wear after taking a boot to the face at first and then a Hibbard to the face after, it was a valiant but misguided effort

Because electric always chooses the path of least resistance to a lower potential, An electrical faraday cage just has to be between you and the supply really, it will channel the voltage around the metal as its easier than travelling further through high resistant air and you, for RF it has to totally shield the signal to not let it through, think of it like a metal sieve, for normal electric it will hit a point closest to the supply then travel through the sieve as easily as it can to the other side, RF would do it to an extent but also leak through the holes

Umm, don't know what happened there, but my post seems to have thrown a wobbler

A conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is also known as a Faraday cage. The amount of reduction depends very much upon the material used, its thickness, the size of the shielded volume and the frequency of the fields of interest and the size, shape and orientation of apertures in a shield to an incident electromagnetic field. RF shielding enclosures filter a range of frequencies for specific conditions. Copper is used for radio frequency (RF) shielding because it absorbs radio and magnetic waves. Properly designed and constructed copper RF shielding enclosures satisfy most RF shielding needs, from computer and electrical switching rooms to hospital CAT-scan and MRI facilities Seems Material matters more to RF shielding, thin Aluminium seems ok but don't try covering a model in copper Edited By Codename-John on 02/02/2015 19:10:30

Actually Flite-metal did some testing with their product, - © is .0018 inch thick self-adhesive aluminum for replicating a full size aircraft finish. with different manufacturer sets and had no discernable change in reception whether 1- the aerials were placed fully inside a covered fuse, 2- the aerials outside of a covered fuse and 3- an RX on a wooden tray out in the open Walk away comparisons were conducted to a distance of up to 800+ feet without "any" change in spread spectrum system performance. That is to say no change in system performance whether a system configuration was (1), (2), or (3) with the systems set to normal flight power mode when you look at the calibre of some of the models using the stuff I doubt they would risk loosing one to radio failure caused by its covering- examples I don't know about thicker ali duct tape type materials though Edited By Codename-John on 01/02/2015 20:36:36

Lol nah that's good, anything earlier than about 3 hours before you go to bed apparently, but we were designed for smaller but more meals throughout the day rather than the 3 square meal malarkey

LOL, people shouldn't eat this late of an evening either so I thought it would be ok

They need to check their Precious metals prices as well as their exchange rate more often too, as Gold is more Valuable than Platinum at the moment Was the other guy actually logged in or just on the page as a guest ?

Take some of the Bottle tops the lad has put on with you when you visit his father, chances are they are his tops for something like his own home brewing or he has noticed some in the house etc and will go further towards proving your point while you are there

I'm not asking you to say anything you would not wish to say or do not believe. All I'm trying to do is suggest that there are two sides to the story, a fact which seems to be conveniently overlooked by those who choose to see it as yet another chance to have a pop at the police and are too narrow-minded or naive as to be unable to appreciate the bigger picture. I do mind you saying so please stop trying to patronise me, and perhaps you should read the advice given out by the Met Police - No intention to patronise you, I'm sure - just making an observation. Your suggestion to arrest everyone else was the wrong answer, I'm sorry to say, so you may not be cut out for a difficult, demanding and sometimes dangerous job where every decision you make can be subject to forensic scrutiny by those with the benefit of time, hindsight, law books and a comfortable office - oh, and not forgetting every Tom. Dick and Harry on the internet..... The press and the public If someone distressed or bereaved asks the police to stop the media recording them, the request can be passed on to the media, but not enforced. We're not talking about distressed or bereaved people but a crime scene or images of deceased persons, so that doesn't apply in this instance. Pete Of course we are talking about bereaved or distressed people otherwise what has the camera man done ? Even if it was a crime scene Point 1 of the Met guidance says - Freedom to photograph and film Members of the public and the media do not need a permit to film or photograph in public places and police have no power to stop them filming or photographing incidents or police personnel. Please show us the reports of the 100 marauding carny men Pete, or is this just something that you've invented to make it look like the police had no other option than to arrest the camera man before a breach of the peace occurred, as all I can find any reference to is some "complaints from local residents and bystanders". Along with your disturbing descriptions of someone you have never even met earlier in the thread, you are making things up to fit your narrative based purely on conjecture. IF THATS WHAT IT TAKES TO PASS A POLICE ENTRANCE EXAM IT DOESNT BODE WELL FOR THE NATIONS FUTURE

What if, despite being asked nicely, he refused to land the drone? How are you going to resolve it? by locking up the people threatening to harm a law abidng citizen with violence ! they are the one breaching the peace and acting in an unlawful manner with their threatening behaviour ! Nope, still not there, John... He wasn't a law-abiding citizen at the time as his actions were likely to provoke a Breach of the Peace. As I mentioned in an earlier reply, the eminently-sensible J of the P Act 1361 took the view that if 1 person is upsetting 100, you remove the source of the antagonisation. That's how policing works - 95% commonsense and 5% legislation. So, doing it your way, you'd arrest 100 people who had been genuinely and understandably moved to outrage by this person? If you don't mind me saying so, perhaps it's best if you stick to your day job..... Pete Still not what YOU think I should say you mean ?

THIS bit of advice from the Met police given out to its officers sums it up quite well, It might be a different force but the same law applies throughout England, especially the paragraph 4th from bottom, the last one I`ll pick out - Freedom to photograph and film Members of the public and the media do not need a permit to film or photograph in public places and police have no power to stop them filming or photographing incidents or police personnel. Contact with photographers, reporters and television crews is a regular occurrence for many officers and staff. The media influences our reputation so it's crucial to maintain good working relations with its members, even in difficult circumstances. Creating vantage points When areas are cordoned off following an incident, creating a vantage point, if possible, where members of the media at the scene can see police activity, can help them do their job without interfering with a police operation. However, media may still report from areas accessible to the general public. The press and the public If someone distressed or bereaved asks the police to stop the media recording them, the request can be passed on to the media, but not enforced.

Posted by Pete B - Moderator on 02/01/2015 00:19:11:   On one side you have a group of very upset people who really don't give a fig for your efforts to pacify them and are determined to sort the problem out for themselves unless you act quickly. You know that if they get near the guy, it will end very badly for him - and possibly for some of your lads. On the other side, you have a self-centred, fat-headed oaf who really doesn't give a damn whom he upsets or how much trouble he causes, just as long as he can stand on his 'rights' and do whatever he likes.     I`d land my Drone and walk away before either of them got any closer  But seriously, Once again you are making assumptions ( and possible libellous descriptions ) about a usually law abiding if misguided citizen based on nothing but conjecture. If it was me as the police officer I would probably explain to this usually law abiding, seemingly resonable person ( whom had the decency to seek out permission and also inform me or one of my colleagues of his actions before he started, of which I possibly informed him I had no problem with and allowed him to proceed ), that there had been complaints since he started his activity and I was now withdrawing the previous consent, I would give him a specific time frame in order to land his craft and sent him on his way, no problems Instead of shouting orders at him and when he didn't immediately comply, recklessly or negligently endangered an aircraft, persons or property by snatching a controller for which I had no clue how to operate, out of his hand, then to justify my actions needlessly locked him up for 5 hours. Then tried to control the damage from the possible bad press of my illegal and dangerous actions by getting my PR department to release a derogatory statement about the individual to the local rag without implicating me in my actions in any way Edited By Codename-John on 02/01/2015 02:00:58

Posted by Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator on 01/01/2015 23:08:52: try "nipping" to few of the other threads - you might find out what the forum is about! BEB I`ll nip to whatever interests me at the particular time, thanks for your concern

Ok but there was no need for them to break the law by endangering his aircraft, camera and possibly anything in the surrounding area in the process, and there should be some recourse on the officers involved as blatently 2 laws have been broken, as you have stated yourself ignorance of the law is no excuse for not following it. Endangering safety of an aircraft 137. A person must not recklessly or negligently act in a manner likely to endanger an aircraft, or any person in an aircraft. Endangering safety of any person or property 138. A person must not recklessly or negligently cause or permit an aircraft to endanger any person or property. The heavy handedness then also comes from keeping him locked up for 5 hours, when they could have removed him from the scene - potential breach of peace over with, if he returns then they have a case for locking him up if needed

Nah, i`ve been over on the multi rotor section too, was just popping back to reply to someone, if that's ok with you ?
