Don Valley mfc may be under threat, we have something going off in the background which if it happens may well end our days at the current site, the opposite of "Green". Folk do like stuff and they do like it pronto and delivered free if possible, someone is seeing our site as a money making opportunity in this area, Councils seeing it as a job creator, so despite nesting/breeding Deer, Hares, Rabbits, Weasels, Frogs, Toads, Newts, Snakes, Buzzards, Kestrel, Sparrowhawks, Owls, Foxes, here we are. Green Agenda, give your head a wobble.
I find it's best not to comment unless you have the facts, and maybe those might not fit your current hate target.

It's the Greenacres you've seen often advertised on here, RCME contributed to events in the past, many on here have attended and enjoyed.

Hope weathers kind and you have a good attendance Rob.

All OLD people should give up what they enjoy, they quite cleary can't do it as well as younger folk. 😉
Aeromodelling the end is nigh.

Well done gents.
5 predictions correct. 🙂

Thanks RR, even the one I posted is large enough for a small glass container, and I can't follow the logic of reusing a cleaning fluid.

It saves using 3 litres of acetone for me so only 100ml in a small plastic cup, as for ED, obviously he can save it each time rather than throw it away.
I figured that out Paul, I'm a Yorkshireman, how about my question re fire risk ?

The jewellery type work ok but are not designed for slightly lager items. Suggest you buy a decent Vevor type with the capacity to hold a decent sealable container .For instance if you want to clean an oily item in a solvent then you need to be able to fit a container with a sealing lid into the US cleaner . Using solvent directly in the cleaner is a serious fire hazard. Put parts in a a glass or plastic jar cover with solvent /cleaner of choice then screw on lid on tightly. Place in the US cleaner and fill up with water .
This saves solvent that can be reused if kept in the jar. You will have to filter it after a cleaning session .The Vevor US cleaners are good . I have a 1 or 1.5 ltr unit ideal for our engine bits , plus it has a built in heater that is very handy for certain cleaning jobs .
I don't follow ED, why would solvent in the cleaner be a fire risk and in a container not ?

Thanks gents, food for thought.

Anyone use one ? I want one to do carb cleans on petrol engines, one I fancy is low end of price range.

For the benefit of all, limits will get pushed on the funnies thread, and occasionally mods will delete some, and you will not be putting mods in the position to decide which swear words are o.k, swear and they go.

Being as we can set up to our own taste, c.g has quite a big range, if it's not pleasant when you increase throttle or work the elevator, then you've an issue, that's assuming you've not to much movement on control surfaces, we're all different and finding your own settings adds much to the days flying.

Did you watch Gone Fishing with Paul and Bob and Bert re-enthused? I know I note really fancy fishing as a result and a colleague is going to take me fly fishing on a lake soon in a boat adapted for wheelchair users (not that I regularly use my chair any more, I was just worried T falling off a bench seat when sitting on it for hours oi am really looking forward to this and hoping having a taster should open up a new relaxing hobby I can do given my current physical limitations.
Yes, I watch them over on iPlayer as well Matty. I hope you enjoy it, it works the grey matter as well as the body and even when the catch rate is poor the surroundings add to the day. The days of sitting on a wicker box are long gone, anglings moved on a lot, comfy padded chairs with adjustable height, arm rests, commercial venues aplenty, coarse and fly/game, parking close by, cafe, toilets onsite, hard standing in each peg, rod license is cheap and day tickets. https://www.anglingdirect.co.uk/?msclkid=dfd57fa08d2a1bc649a817ea28816835&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Generic&utm_term=Fishing Tackle&utm_content=Fishing Tackle
