Chris, why not mount a (the receiver), on a plank of wood, with battery switch etc. Call the model 'the plank'. Range test it. This way you know you have lost any potential aerial installation problems, and are testing your components. If it passes on the plank with ease, if the problem comes back in the Habu, you will know you have an installation issue. As a personal issue I like receivers with satellites so I can move aerials to suite me, rather that what the receiver will allow. But that is opinion only.

Debbie, I would suggest if you want to say something use English as a means of communication, rather than obtusion of meaning. You reference to sexism I take as a reference to your view of the world. I do not believe we have yet met.

Debbie, welcome, I assume you don't fly model aircraft. Not much amusement invoked in trying to sort out breakages, or indeed a relaunch to see if you are right. Or am I missing something.

Chris, range checks are just that, a range check. If you have to mess about to do it, it is a fail, don't fly, not a pass. In my experience all makes of radio sail though the check. I would say you have an issue with aerial installation or a transmitter fault. Prob the aerial.

Up, good luck.

Mike, your shout, but a fabric finish might look better.

I live in France. Hit a bike while driving a motor vehicle and it is your fault, unless you can prove the cyclist was being particularly stupid, and sulicidal. Note, going the wrong way on a one way street is not so deemed. Cars give cyclists a wide berth. Not so pedestrians, smaller vehicles, all fair game. Give way or be flattened. So to be cynical, only fear of prosecution keeps drivers actions safe. In all my travels I have not seen much to change my mind. My driving instructor started a course by stating the presumption, "assume the opposition is a murderer, and he knows you sleep with his wife"

Could you not ditch the electronics and make a whistle.

Or a cheapskate might do Alton Towers, and a McDonalds. But the Crimbo present might be inferior.

Go to Piza, take Swmbo. Might get a really nice Christmas present. And you will not be happy till you time that drop.

Arrrrrr, Stevo, me old lad, you may have a good ear, but was your fancy WAV recorded from under the thing. Think before answering.

Could we ask the camera owner to take a trip to Piza, brownie points if you chuck in a pasta dinner, and a rosebud, violin player, and Shmbo. Time the drop off the tower. Avoid hitting the tourists. Suspect the camera has a terminal velocicity of no more than 15 mph. Why you say. It was still working, I say.

Difficult question. Not many about. And you would not get me to volunteer to stand under one to find out. But in fairness, neither would your potential critics. Why not just lie to them.

Kiwi, greetings. Hope your lot are in training for the Lions. Any chance of dimensions for the verticals. I have just ordered a replacement airframe to replace the one I broke, and without the Dutch roll would be much nicer.

One I recall was an electronic calculator in a box the size of a shoebox, in an adjoining laboratory. This was about 1970, 72 in the ICI research facility in S Wales. It had some age, and did basic stuff. And the bloke who's lab it was related it cost exactly the same as his MGB would new.

In my day 13 year old stuff.

Nice film by the way. Loved the shot of the departed plane.

Not if you can supply the coefficient of friction for the camera. Otherwise bets off.

My experience of small dry foam units are they are too small. I am talking about the things about a foot long and 4 inches in diameter. You spay on the base of the fire, run out of extinguisher, and the fire reignites. ok for a bin on fire, or once when I set a quarter scale triplane I was building alight. But a fire needs water to cool it. And a bit of knowledge on what to spray water on. Can't help subscribing to the take steps option. In the opposite direction.

But if you do you will go out of phase with the Sun. Don't trust the mods, one of us disappeared a couple of months back. They have control of the keyboard. Edited By Donald Fry on 14/05/2017 16:10:32

Cooke is a well known member of the thought police, Department of Public Happyness. Make sure you sleep in a Faraday cage.

Rich, that is a good thought. I currently enjoying on me holidays my HK Tundra, on Isle d' Oléron, SW France. You could do a right nice quarter scale version of the Tundra's origins. With official hooligan rights.

Right, thank you. It has now gone back to Just engines, and they are sending a standard blade prop.

Not that big into retro. And I've done one of them as well, 1970. And in fairness, good for then.

Nah, done a PT 19, still thinking if a clip wing cub.
