500 errors and so slow I am off to do something faster like race snails.

Even cheaper here and in the UK where I bought mine from 👍 - although currently now out of stock 😥

Followed others with their slow issues and grateful I was not one of them - until today.😥 Takes between 10 - 15 sec to open a topic then at a previous point before loading latest another 10-15 sec later. However for a very brief moment the screen flashes black and I just catch something like modelflying verifying you are human before progressing to load.

Not paper but then dose not compress or degrade and is thin - Gas PTFE tape (thicker than the water version and 85p's worth from B&Q will last a lifetime).

@Mike T Thanks excellent suggestion 👍

@leccyflyer @John Lee @John Stainforth @Geoff S 👏 Thanks guys for your thoughts and suggestions which I will follow up and hopefully some/all will pique my fathers interest.

Bump Just incase anyone missed it or has remembered something that may be of interest to my father 🤞 Thanks

My aging father an ex RAF/RAAF pilot has a keen interest in Far Eastern British/Australian WW2 exploits and their involvement in both land and the Pacific War. This could be individual experiences, campaigns, battles both on land or at sea. Would be grateful for any book recommendations I can take out in a few weeks. Thanks in anticipation. David

Arrr that brings back memories - Like Martin I had the earlier blue kit.

You also may like to consider - A simple blind timed flight 🤔 No not blindfolded but a wheels up/down flight of say 57 sec without any timing devises for the pilot. Not as easy as you would think but suits any level pilot.

Ooooo very clever and inventive 👍

As others have suggested the installation of either smoke or heat is a no brainer. Head height loss is minimal and so is cost considering all the work being completed. A battery wireless pair should reach the house if you have already laid the Armco cable power cable. Having just spent 9 months converting my double garage to a workshop with a joining porch, I went the heat sensor route for the workshop and walk in loft with smoke in the porch all mains linked with battery back up. Reason for heat was so if I created smoke soldering/melting lead/cutting polystyrene/welding etc no false alarms. Smoke in the porch behind a firedoor as a second line of detection. I came under building control regs so detection was mandatory but would absolutely have done it anyway bearing in mind our activities having heard and seen the consequences of accidental fire damage. I also have powder extinguishers at all thee doors into the workshop and a fire blanket near my charging bench which it tile covered to fire proof it. Am I paranoid, I don't think so but work on the principle that if fitted you will never need it but if you do its there.

Are you able/permitted to share the details please ?

Despite the weather I will be calling in later today to say Hi/chat and put faces to a few formites over a warm drink 😀 David

That is one really fancy and no doubt time consuming ( 3 weeks ) trimming scheme there 👍

No, I haven’t tried this yet but have read about it……does it work? Yes see Nick's excellent use. Also Martin Mclintosh multi applicator sticks 28th Dec.

Have you tried PVA droplets either from a syringe or a series of pins in a stick dipped, to speed up the processes?

Late morning while upstairs I heard a very distinctive sound and looked out to see a Spit circling Wetherby W Yorks, just got a quick sound bite and distant phone image as it left. 20240813_101301[1].mp4

If Vortex-vacforms are still around !!!. They offer a CN111 F8F Bearcat one 320mm -80mm-98mm

Arrrr a blast from the past, not seen an Isetta on the road in years. 😀

Going back to ED original question. At the moment we are in limbo, some new safety aids certainly are a step forward, blindspot for example. However recently on a test drive the I assume collision avoidance inputted a force which I had to resist on a narrow road when I had to move close to a building next to the road giving space to an oncoming vehicle. Very off putting and in my opinion dangerous in that particular incident, particularly as it was a test drive. Tech is just not there "yet" to be implementing some maneuvers which could be flawed and dangerous.

I have also advocated this since taking both IAM car and bike and examiner for the bike. This should also flag up health and mobility issues which are supposed to be self declared and incorporate any changes in the law. However in cocooning drivers in ever more luxurious and distraction filled environments can't help alertness. Massaging seats and huge infotainment screens. So add more tech to combat and it becomes a self-fulfilling development. Then ask most (not all) why the drive an SUV - because they feel safer but could cause more disproportional injury to a standard vehicle if they may a mistake which they don't have to bare the brunt off. Alternative to a spike could be to put the driver in a Perspex bubble on the front making them more vulnerable which would focus their attention on the task.

" llongyfarchiadau " and I for one appreciate you stepping up along with the other mods 👏

That idea is a lovely piece of lateral thinking 👏
