Hi Phil, For me it was my username. I was using my email like the old site, but I had a different username.

 

[The thread for your subscriber questions and queries **please do not start a new thread**]

Hi, 

 

I have a digital subscription and I notice that when I try to read the October issues it says 'not for publication' and has very low res images. How can this be corrected?

[Cant login]

Hi, everytime I wish to loging I have to request a new password. Often then when I post it says there already a user with my username, and I have to log out, then I cant log in without first resetting my password, and I'm stuck in this loop.

[Club Website?]

Hi

I can provide club websites / email / hosting for a reasonable cost. More than a website is a full club management application.

Details here with sites that are already using the system.

[Telemetry - do you use it? What do you think of it?]

I too use jeti and another supporter of the RC Thoughts website. I use the Current meters, and Varios, and have 4 channel temperature sensor in a 1/4 scale cowl.

Each can be made for a few pounds, and following the instructions on the site its so easy.

Might have a go at a GPS sensor next.

I have flown for years (Decades!) without telemetry, but now I have it I can't imagine myself flying without.

The Jeti system also has full logging, and I log and check every new model for the first few flights to monitor the Rx installation.

So who watched the last episode of what is probably the best TV for a long time.

Bet we can all relate to the Gazebo scene.

[Repairing Fibreglass Mouldings]

Don't be put off that things will have to get worse before they get better, you need to get to the detail of any damage.

Its more important at this stage to get it back into shape / alignment, so don't be afraid to drill it and screw wood / wire into it to get it to hold its shape.

Having to fill a couple of additional holes is a small price to pay to know its right.

[Recommendations for good sunglasses]

Not cheap by any means, I use Bigatmo - utterly superb fit, finish and lens.

[What's a Watt?]

Seem to recall an old college joke: watt is the unit of power - Yes it is. Has to be said out loud otherwise what/Watt gives the game away.

On the subject of college jokes:

There are 10 types of people in this world, those that understand binary and those that don't.

Taking that one further:

There are 10 types of people in this world, those that understand binary and those that don't, and those that confuse it with ternary.

[What wire gauge for servos ?]

Have you seen this I did some years ago, I've been making them for years.

Andy

[Telemetry - do you use it? What do you think of it?]

Jeti already have heptic feed back, albeit just stick shakers, but wont be long until they are full force feedback.

Andy

[Telemetry - do you use it? What do you think of it?]

For me telemetry is something I'm using more and more, from engine temp to actual consumed current from my flight batteries.

The problem with most radios is that you only get the data reported back.

I'm a recent convert to Jeti and can use the data in alarms, functions and mixes, which now makes it useful.
