Why is it that we are willing to accept a Digital phone won't work when the mains supply fails? Surely the phone could be fitted with a battery just like the cordless phones ( 2 AAA size Eneloop in mine ) that recharges automatically from the mains and can provide an hour or so of calls! If we accept that technology cannot provide a proper service in future in an emergency then we are wimps and will pay the price eventually - due to terrorism, war, strikes, electric cuts due to sudden mass use of elecric car charging etc. Some months ago in RCME an article showed how a small, cheap solar panel can keep a gel cell charged for use in shed etc. Cost was about £18 retail for solar panel and 12 v gel cells about £13 for 7 amp. Why do we not insist BT do something similar for land lines?
The phone companies want to eliminate land lines to force us to have mobile phones which are cheaper for them and much mor expensive for consumers. Landline users are being forced to also pay for a mobile contract just to have a phone in emergency.
Actually they can also be charged in a car, so can be charged via petrol or diese! Or a solar panel can charge the car battery or phone.
My mobiles £5 per month, unlimited calls/texts, much cheaper than landline and for the most part has eliminated cold callers.

Tough post to read Matty, made me choke up.Had 4 kids, they just say it they're kids, but they adjust. Thinking, you'll do plenty of that and it'll be hard, maybe find something you can do to take your thoughts elsewhere, jigsaw, read, crosswords etc. Keep at the excersizes, your best chance for progressing.

I think that there is dihedral on the bottom wing. I expect Paul will confirm that. Come to think of it,a friend has just built one but not flown it yet. I must ask him.

A post and reply removed, your mods have had enough of baiting, rudness and threads becoming tedious tit for tat.

Tricky one is parking on footpaths, no doubt it can obstruct people, at times though, not using can block road to traffic and emergency vehicles, close the road when deliveries are made, make it nigh on impossible for work to be done on your property, and many new build estates are a complete nightmare to not upset someone.

Always a pleasure to see you Simon. 🙂

Similar effects on petrols, caused by airflow around the carb, different carbs yes, but same symptons.

Can't gauge how thick your trailing edge is Toto, it looks to be good enough as is, your build though and you it has to satify. What type of hinges ?

Only that when you run dry, engine usually warns you it's about to happen, no harm done though.
