  1. At home, now, there are upgrades I do on my: Computers: Antivirus software; Anti malware and software updates; Phone, similar to computer' Transmitters and receivers have all been updated, Spektrum and Hitec to the latest firmware, and models backed up from the radio onto backups. Hifi Sonos streaming unit updates done and music being scanned as and when new material is added onto the NAS Router have had the password changed and set correctly; SVS Subwoofer firmware updated. TV and Blu-ray player updates done.
  2. What are you doing? right click on the download box as "save as". its not that hard, use logic. i think you are trying to open the file with Windows Media Player. do as I said and not run the file.  Thats how you get viruses, trying to run downloads. Not Spektrum's fault or the transmitter - operator fault. maybe get someone to look at your computer, as it's probably full of malware and trojans if you don't know what you're doing. sorry.

  3. I would, know how to configure the aircraft for landing, set the flight computer, not just about flying the plane, several procedures have to be done in the correct order.
  4. Why? do like this: Go on Spektrum Community and register your transmitter. go onto DOWNLOAD and download the .SPmtx.sax and find where the file was saved, usually in downloads. copy or move the file onto a formatted SD card. remove "SD CARD" on the computer not pulling it out or this might corrupt it. insert into the DX8 and turn on. If this doesn't work, you are doing something wrong.
  5. make sure you save it on the card, with the original filename and not a (1) extension, also in the root directory. it's dead simple.
  6. To tell you the truth, not to be a doomsayer, but 2021 will be worse than 2020, don't think there will be any shows or events happening next year, we've gone backwards and not even New Year. best thing is we curl up and die, human race is had it. As long as there is humans around, there will be Covid.
  7. I got my rc petrol car out yesterday, not ran since spring and batteries were almost fully charged, the sub c pack was reading 6.5v and only needed 500mah to top it off. good fun in the snow, when i can't fly...
  8. or just buy loads of batteries, i have hundreds of them and even going to a fly-in have enough batteries for several days flying without needing to recharge.
  9. How about these? have more capacity and smaller than most 2200mah batteries. also 30c, but when I had them in my F27q delta even at full throttle, the battery was still cold and have almost 10 mins of flight time. Normal 2200's would be puffed up and hot at 6 mins. Edited By Paul Marsh on 29/12/2020 11:12:04
  10. I don't have a licence or watch sky rubbish,itv/bbc, etc that are really stupid and put a bright white logo on the screen which causes 1000's of tv sets to be knackered. I don't know why it is allowed, criminal damage, really. Oled and such are easily damaged by static images, yeah, A Plasma tv less so, but not made anymore. I only use mine for Blu-ray, TV series, etc, but not brain-dead tv.
  11. The LG OLED model is the best one, my brother just bought mine, and don't buy cheaper ones, £900 led is too cheap and will regret it. I'm into home cinema and demand the best picture and sound quality, and nothing else will do... you think spending £200 on a sound bar is alot, try £20k on a 9.1 channel surround system. just bought a new sub woofer, and that was £2000...
  12. On the 8000 and 6210 rx's i put a piece of plastic tube over the aerial to take and sideways strain.
  13. I've had one from DPD, as they said that 2 deliveries had failed and to redeliver they wanted payment, etc. What was quite obvious was not so, as I was expecting a pair of boxing gloves and punch bag at the same time, but their tracking number, I copied and pasted onto the genuine DPD website and surprise, surprise, didn't exist. The things came from another carrier, Yodel, but can see how people can get drawn in, if you are expecting delivery. Also had one from "DVLA" saying my car was untaxed and if I don't submit payment, I will go to prison, There was no car details, not even my name. said "Dear Sirs" and was from DVLAfriends. yeah, right. Checked online, and both cars are taxed and mot'd...
  14. I loved looking through the booklet, droool! didn't even read the bmfa mag, but studied the e-flite pamphlet. The prices are what they are- everything has gone up, not just planes. Just need to work more to get the same item, though e-flite stuff are high quality - you pay for what you get. Only problem is that they are hard to obtain, now, for example had the Citation on order since march, and still not arrived... On my list are: NX 12 or 20; P51D Mustang; EC1500 twin; UMX Citation twin edf.
  15. Depends, if a simple scheme, and depends on type of model. This took ages, when i built years ago. This is simple, one colour, simple stripe.
  16. I've been using the 410 and the 620, no problems, but if using a DX8 Gen1 with 620 and 410's make sure you use the later versions with the DSM logo on it, as I found out during (and on this forum) if doing a power cycle test, the rx doesn't re-establish link with the rx, so a power dropout in the air on a DX8 gen 1 tx, would cause a lock out and crash.

  17. Don't go on Mick Reeves website, just went on, and the virus checker blocked a Trojan. The website has been hacked.
  18. have you still got the outer wing skins? someone has got 3 kits, but the vaneer has delaminated and intends to recover the wings in balsa, but needs the outer to form the wings.
  19. Our field is a bog, now, no-one's been on it for weeks, so in many cases won't impact much. Was worse when the brilliant weather in April/May...
