Hello out there! I'm considering buying a 60 NX. Is it any good? Real life RPM at what prop size? My club is mostly leccy snobs and a few gassers, but few new mid-size glow consumers. Sainte!

Wow! I couldn't believe the sheer number of posts! Over here in Canada we're officially metric too, but there are still a lot of things that are still SAE. When I was in printing we rarely used paper that was rated in metric terms. While building materials are still sold in Imperial units. I do notice that your petrol is sold in litres, but your roads are still in Imperial. However, when I see a model being sold, I have the maths where-withal to know that cool model with the 1530 mm wingspan is 5 ft 1 in or 61 in (give or take) without having to reach for a calculator. See? Maths are important! Edited By Bill Gordon 2 on 17/02/2015 18:56:21

Well Bert, it is worth picking up. If you ever feel down about doing anything dumb, give it a read. I guarantee you will feel so much better. "The Darwin Awards" are based on true stories and given "for service to humanity by removing themselves from the gene pool or have disabled themselves from procreation", thus preventing passing on their stupid genes. One chap, for instance, was hammering on a cap to a pipe bomb held between his legs. He survived, but his wedding tackle didn't.

Well said, Bert. You wouldn't happen to read "The Darwin Awards" by any chance?

Well spoken and very apt, Erfolg. Particularly the last paragraph. I don't remember who said it first, and I may not have the quote precisely, but : " Another man's intelligence is decided by the degree of agreement he is in with you" You must be a genius!

All I can say to that is that if wasn't for people being dim, I wouldn't be crazy. ...Okay... maybe not as crazy..

Well Gents, it would appear that we are indeed islands of intelligence in a sea of nit-wits! I would just sum up the situation in that the basic tools for life are being issued, but they're left in the boot under the rubbish. Edited By Bill Gordon 2 on 03/02/2015 12:45:03

I just caught myself at poor English..." there ARE(not is) a lot of things left to let slide.." -I'll step quietly off the soap box now...
