Only seen one Gen 1 have the RF board go down , at home. All others have been fine ! Colin

Got 3 flights on my Sebart Miss Wind at 9am. Very little wind but overcast. Patch is already waterlogged in places but can still drive in ! Got a feeling it’s gonna be same as last year now - wet !

Don’t know if anyone has spotted this , but 2 Barnes Wallis marbles sold in Bristol for £15200. I’m whistling the tune as I type !😂😂😂Colin

U can’t beat a Mossie. Superb! Well done ! Colin

Many years ago I used to fly with Maurice Tait , Morley Helicopters at a few trade shows. Our caravan was used to provide a show stand. At Ledbury one year I was trying to sell a Hughes 300 kit when there was an enormous noise and an SE5 went straight in behind me brushing my back !😱😱 Later a stag pushed its hooves down my back. Every blood vessel broke the surface of my back. A very dangerous hobby !😂😂😂😂Colin

Ditto Somerset!🥶Winter shirt donned ! Colin

3000 6s in my 500 Dominator. Exact fit ! Colin

In use in all 3 of my Trex ! Used with DX9 and now NX8. No problems and not difficult to set up using the manual ! Colin

My Nx8 didn’t come with the magnetic set up so got one off EBay for a few quid. Impressed !! 👍

I use Ar7200s and have no range problems other than my eyesight 😩😩👍Colin

I have seen something similar on the bench. Is the orange SPEKTRUM light on when switched on ? This is an RF meter I’m informed! No light and RF board going down. In this case it was a total board failure in seconds if I remember correctly!!

Steve - from memory (fading )😂I used the suggested tapped Ali tube spacers as per manual. Loctited ! Never moved. Motor specs and Wot manual are online. 5s would take it vertical easily. Sold it on to replace with a Sebart Miss Wind. Cheers Colin

I used a Ripmax Quantum 55 on 5s in the ARTF Wots Wot. Excellent! Colin

On record ! SWMBO won’t allow me to watch it live while she’s in room. 🥺Prefers to watch people suffering in A&E ! ☠️☠️

When Riots/Ruckus get a little foam compressed at the front 😂😂I find the thrust line changes and needs washer adjustment. My preference is for a ✈️to stay straight ahead when opening the throttle so I adjust washers as necessary . I don’t find landing like this a problem at all. Colin
