  1. Another vote for tweaking the Riot, set it up to be more capable, and improve your skills on a model you know. Improved skills widens your choice of next model, and the likelyhood it'll survive.
  2. Confusing thread, same posters say "No surrender" then "It's a done deal anyway" ?
  3. Talking is easy. BMFA says NO, regs get rolled out regardless and maybe more onerous than had they entered discussion, then what do we do ? Lay the plan out.
  4. Can't see what's dificult, ours is done through a recent trial from BMFA, Altitude Angel, (before this latest BMFA initiative).
  5. Club Secretary or Chairman, should be able to tell you about the new info gathering being done by the BMFA Kev.
  6. Best I can offer Nudge is, if they become required there will be money to be made in smaller devices, and we've a way to go yet time wise.
  7. Xmas eve and was busy fellas, as were the other mods, not pulled just hidden till looked at. Happy Xmas.
  8. Give a man a fish, and feed him for a day. Teach him to fish, and keepnets full in no time. 😉
  9. Hard to judge if some posts are serious or satire. After careful thought, I now believe we should ban all flights done via electric propulsion, In the days of I.C flight the noise we made counted in our favour, contrary to what some would have you believe. The noise, made conducting nefarious acts highly unlikely, as the lack of footage from Heathrow etc proves. Banning these, at a stroke (2 stroke or 4) does away with Amazon et als desire to infect our sky with "Drones" and "Proper" modellers can continue unaffected. Gliders, slope/thermal should be fitted with sound systems imitating Chinese trimmer engines, harsh but necessary. I.C it's the future.
  10. Agree, what happens to us all is what counts, decline in numbers threatens us for the future and the associations we belong to.
  11. Simple really to me Ron, labouring a point over and over gets tedious, moving on allows the discussion to get back to being interesting and offering information to others reading a thread.
  12. Lot of negative coverage on TV Nudge, people lashing out coz pressures on, and some if it ain't what I do then it must be easier. Plus a lot who've nothing against you, you just ain't met us yet. Welcome to the forum.
  13. You'll get all the help you want from members on here, there are no stupid questions, so don't be shy in asking.
  14. Your confidence will soon come back, servo placement etc will help get C.G as well.
