Mo, Definitely not!

It's a big hole - ~4" at the widest point! and the plate has to be screwed into the bone either sode, so a large overlap is required
-
Damn, the cranioplasty op to repair the hole in my skull has been postponed until 12th Nov because I had Covid last week, even though I’m now resting Covid negative - the surgical team take the risk of infection super seriously obviously! 😢 it’s very disappointing though, as I am desperate to get rid of the rubber helmet once and for all but I just have to tell myself it’s only a few weeks more! Until this is in my noggin!
-
Except I am not yet cleared to drive yet so couldn’t get myself to jobs as the dvla still haven’t got back to me on whether I passed my visual field test or not! Besides I already have a full time job thanks that pays better than lawn mowing!
-
Literally you are about the 5th or 6th person to request via social media that I mow their lawn since I first posted that picture on Facebook yesterday!!! 🤣🤣🤣
-
Yes look what I managed to do yesterday! The mower I borrowed from my neighbour wasn’t ideal as it was quite heavy and not a self propel , but my petrol mower would be too scary and heavy for the immediate future

I wouldn’t rely on yyour local free newspaper generating much interest, as t hey are a lot less ubiquitous these days in terms of where they are delivered, and I personally haven’t picked one up to read the content inside once in the last 5 years because the quality of articles is generally so low. As a result I would expect social media to be way more impactful and effective for this IMO.

Lipos in the washing machine... anybody done it?
MattyB replied to FiddleSticks's topic in All Things Model Flying
No, As per my first post in this thread if you check the i internal resistance with your chargers and then use a online calculator to calculate the actual real world c rating I’d the pack, that should give you some confidence there has been no major internal damage of it is within 25-30% of the advertised c rating https://www.radiocontrolinfo.com/information/rc-calculators/calculate-the-real-lipo-c-rating/ -

Not lithium chemistry you don’t, it doesn’t do anything good other than add cycles you could have used for flying instead -

Are they completely dry at this point ( connectors etc) if so I would just Just plug it into your charger, review the cell voltages and then measure the IR if your charger can do that to see if they have suffered any internal damage Then if they pass that test I would put them on a very slow 0.5C charge and monitor the cell voltages very carefully during that process for anything untoward Eg uneven/ unbalanced definitely charge in the garage on a concrete floor this time around until they have proved themselves ok. -
I used to put plane finders in valuable slope models, but there is no real need now if you have signal strength telemetry capability on your tx.
-
What Tx do you have? Maybe start by reading the telemetry section of the TX manual. I know it’s absolutely possible to calibrate these voltage readings up or down on other systems such as frsky, but I’m not familiar with the Spek functionality in this area. Sorry!

I received some more incredible feedback on my guide yesterday from my old rehab centre, they seem to love it - so they are going to give a printed copy to every new patient who is admitted there from now on!!! It just feels amazing, to know all my hard earned knowledge will help others in their recovery journies! 😎

Toast was the last element of my breakfast. Though as you can see the toaster settings need some further refinement!!! 😂😂
