If you blow at a dog, they hate it. But put them in a car and...............

I accidentally handed my wife a glue stick instead of chapstick. . . She isn’t talking to me now.

I heard that everyone pees in a swimming pool..... apparently they don't like it when you are on the high diving board.

🤣. . Ahhh, the nostalgia. Oh yes...... I had loads of fun flying reeds radio (in black&white 😂 ) back in the early 1960s. Great times.

Sturgeon has been arrested. . .

I must say that I find it curious that all of my glow engines - and I have many - all run smoothly, have instant throttle response, stay clean inside and out, and have extremely long and reliable lives due to running on Prosynth. Probably the best fuel in the world. This isn't a glib statement based on a single bottle of fuel. . . It is a statement of fact derived from over 23 years (and counting) of using hundreds of gallons of the stuff. I just find it bizarre that every engine I have loves the stuff but, apparently, there is one make which can't or won't run on it. Fair enough, use a different fuel in that make of engine. But let the rest run on perfection.

There is only fuel worth using, and it's Prosynth. Use 10% nitro for an ASP four stroke.

Buy more batteries.

After hours spent building a model, not to mention the cost, is it really worth trying to save a few quid by buying non-branded radio equipment? Don't get me started on "cheap" extention leads which might be only 50p but will cost you a model. . . I have lost count of the number of models seen falling to earth due to these "money savers". Oh well, let's hope nobody is underneath when they fall out of the sky. .

Regrettably, it has steadily been getting windier for the last 25+ years. Years ago a wind speed of 15mph would have kept most models on the ground. . Nowadays, this is fairly normal.... and then the heavy gusts make it even more sporty. I feel sorry for the beginners having to learn the "trade" in these rougher conditions. It can be a harsh school. It's okay for the experienced pilots. With the right model, wind can can be fun to play with.
