  1. I find anything to do with RDF utterly fascinating! โค๏ธ
  2. Paper sticky label and pen. Simples. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
  3. Thanks for that Allan. It stared just after the ops so a long time ago. No symptoms visible ( looked it up ) and just the odd niggle ! Too much staring at tablet ๐Ÿ˜ง๐Ÿ˜ง๐Ÿ˜ง๐Ÿ˜ง?? Regards Colin
  4. Both eyes done when I was 53. 75 now. No specs apart from readers and still find everything so bright shades on all the time. Does feel as tho housebricks in eyes so plenty of eyewash.

  6. I use my 50 yr old plywood pasting table ! Back of garage straight into the boot !
  7. Yep ๐ŸงŠ๐ŸงŠand sun is best but low sun is a real hindrance on our patch ๐Ÿ˜ซ
  8. Just 2s tiny ones for Mig 15 UMX. Difficult to find to fit space in nose ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ
  9. Been indoors all night , then hot water bottle in lipo bag. Must b on way out ?? They seem to go u/s between outings ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
  10. Out in deepest Somerset at 9. Few inches ,2 , on patch so didnโ€™t bother with the Acromaster and just flew Mig15 UMX. 2 outa 4 lipos were useless. ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญSun really low and bright so turned back on it and flew across the patch. Billy no mates again. Colin
  11. 5 of us got out 9-30 to frozen ๐Ÿฅถ ground and full sun .Most out for ages. Had to turn back on sun and fly E -W , not the best ! Mix of planes and choppers. Colin
  12. Somerset just fog and clag again. Humidity through the roof. You get wet standing still ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚! Whatever happened to those cold crisp sunny mornings a decade ago??
  13. Iโ€™m in ๐Ÿฅฐ๐ŸฅฐSteve ! Iโ€™ll keep perusing the ads !๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚Colin
  14. I use a pair of Thinsulate gloves with the thumb and first finger cut off. I fly pinch so ok. Eventually tho the cold will get the end of your fingers after an hour. Time to go home then ! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚Colin
  15. SWMBO has a heated throw. Layers , blanket , hot water bottle , ch on and room temp above 70 F. Shes still ๐Ÿฅถ๐Ÿฅถ๐Ÿฅถ.Im in shirtsleeves !๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚Colin
  16. Out early in deepest Somerset to find the frost still on the ground and brilliant sun. Got 3 lipos through the Acromaster by 10. Sun huge problem in left eye as so low so turned my back and flew east to west which I donโ€™t enjoy on our patch. By 10 north wind up and fingers getting ๐Ÿฅถ! Gonna be a long winter ! Colin
  17. 2 flights on my Sebbie Sukhoi at 9. Sun is already getting into eyes at that time. Eyes too old to cope ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ˜ฉColin
  18. Flew my Acromaster this morning plus UMX Mig . 2 others out including guest chopper flyer. Very little sun as promised but zero wind (fcast 8 ) so acceptable! No fog !!๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ . Colin
  19. Until u get a problem. Iโ€™ve got Rx as old as in post above. Spekkie and ๐ŸŠ! Range check as neccessary !
  20. Toto - โšฐ๏ธbeckons. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚Iโ€™ve replaced the walls that face the rain. Few minor leaks where ground water sits all winter. Frame still original ! Canโ€™t live long enough to replace it !๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚Colin
  21. My sheds prehistoric by comparison but itโ€™s been up 40 yrs now. Canโ€™t believe it ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚Colin
  22. Thick fog here in deepest Somerset. Set out as seemed to be lifting. At patch far too foggy for fixed wing so 2 goes on Align 500. Had new lipo to try which was a gift from clubmate. As I was hovering the fog dropped like a brick. U canโ€™t win now with the weather ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ˜ฉColin
  23. I have the Mytho 30 S and despite using the same throws etc as the Angel I do not find it as pleasant to fly ! Same motor , same servos . The Miss Wind is very nice but takes longer to set up at the field so doesnโ€™t get out as much ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚Colin
