    Well done to the top three.

    Missed my predictions by 8 minutes this morning. Thought Japan was next week. Had an email from Fantasygp which said no panic the race is next week, obviously didn't read it properly.  Expensive mistake. now back in my usual position.

    Well done Pete, Flyer and Simon.

     

    My drivers and cars did me proud  in Brazil. 155 points and no predictions entered as my wife went into hospital the week before and I never gave it  a thought. Looking at the values of my team, next season looks bleak. Two of my drivers and one car will use up the whole of the budget unless they raise the amount we can spend.

    My club, and I think of it as my club as I was one of the founding members in 1968 although I did have  a ten year break.  We have been very fortunate in bucking the trend,  in that we have reached our limit of 100 adults for the last ten years or more with a regular waiting list. We do lose a few most years. We are lucky enough to have a field we can use seven days a week for electric and gliders with i/c wednesdays and at weekends.The only draw back is in winter it is difficult to reach in very wet weather as it is the third field off the road and clay which causes access problems. we're are short of juniors only having four. Most are in the 50 plus age group. Our chairman is good at organising aa varied range of fun competitons and "special" day events so interest is alway there to try something different.

    Thank you Robin. I hadn't noticed the fins on the 

    Glow motor. I did think the diesel head was a replacement as it is much cleaner than the rest of the motor. Not sure if the owner was also a model engineer like the seller and made up some bits himself.

    On Friday I ordered some 2900mah 4s lipos which arrived yesterday. I didn't think anything of it until I went to charge the for flying in the next few days, when I found 2 were 4s and one was 3s. All were 2900mah. I phoned the shop this afternoon and it was all sorted very quickly including fitting an XT60 plug onto to the replacement battery.

    I have recently bought a couple of older motors form Ebay. The seller is selling a deceased modellers equipment and has a few motors he cannot ID. He is not an aeromodeller but is into engineering and live steam railways so need a bit of help.

    Any thoughts on the attached photos please.

    First Aid at the flying patch?

     I don't tthink there is a legal responsibility as we are all there voluntarily under a club umbrella.

    We have a signing in book everyone,flying or not has to sign, as  a safety check. We have a first aid kit that is checkd regularly. We don't have first aiders as such but we have had  a first aid refresher by the St. John's Ambulance at our club nights for the last three years, which have been well attended, and one member actually saved the life of another member when he had an heart attack and remembered what to do (away from the field). So we have nothing formal but it works. We also have a defirilator.

    Sorry for delay in replying but been at a funeral all afternoon and justngot bacK.

    Thanks for the suggestions. Not heard of the Dyno. Heard of Oliver, not Battle axe. No offence Jeff2 wings but are you serious? very rare. The chap selling these motors is selling for someone else and knows little of aeromodelling as he is into model engineering - steam locos.
