I haven't had the pop-up for weeks now, just that little blue cookie icon at bottom left........ presumably the pop-up appears if you reject cookies?

You are right of course - it was just an attsmot at humour. Although surprisingly, Mr Google offers 'golf caddies for sale' .....

It's the first winter I've actually felt the cold. Must be age because I certainly haven't lost all that nice insulating fat! Time to go shopping I think.

Arrived at about 9:45. Parked on the road as field looked a bit squishy. Sunny, cool, gentle breeze. Set up. By now the breeze was far stronger, making it feel really cold. Took off and found the Double Trouble needed half throttle to make any progress into wind... landing was interesting! Kev turned up later, with a model far more suitable for the conditions. Big petrol aerobat. Surprisingly, nobody else arrived. Nice few hours chatting, drinking coffee, and occasionally flying! I learnt I need a warmer coat.....!

Depends what you call cheap. I use a flysky ix6 with mine, but it needs a din to coax adapter to join to my dongle. Was about £60 with 2 rxs that I can use with my Radiomaster tx

Phoenix is great! There is a quite active forum on RCGroups, with all the software, install instructions, additional airfields and models (some better than others), and some knowlegable and helpful people.

Isn't a golf caddy without wheels........a bag?

The only times I've seen that many at our club were the BMFA record attempts!

I expect two driven wheels at the back, and one steering at the front us cheaper/easier to manufacture than having two driven, steering wheels at front.....

The article says he disabled the height warnings.... which is the same as just ignoring them!

It might also have a worse airofoil so need the speed being kept up....... never assume as it makes an ass of you and me.

Indeed he may..... I was just trying to help you understand one possible reason why toto flies at weekends....

Seems reasonable...

As long as you don't mind waiting for spare parts from China when you break it (it will get broken, all helis do), looks good. Make sure it's under 250 grammes to avoid additional regulations.

Pity they can't prosecute the other 'hobbyists' who advised him.........

Toto needs his instructor to be available, and his club rules won't allow him to fly solo I believe.

What are the reviews like?

I"m not arguing for it to remain on paper... I've long been an advocate for digital. I was simply pointing out that most people who don't read it, will still not read it, because of the content. Which is a shame because it's nice to see what's going on in other areas of model flying.

That was probably aimed at those who do not read it because of the content, not the format. Those people most probably won't bother to read it online either...

Apart from that, perfect!

Welcome, from the NE Coast. You'll find this forum us generally very friendly and welcoming....... certainly in comparison to some others!

As the thread is 7 years old, I'd assume the OP found a solution 🙂 Although the conversation about strippers is useful.....

With the seemingly ever-escalating trend towards over powering planes, any lessening in structural integrity needs careful thought..... Feels like if it won't climb vertically for 400 feet, or can't do 399 foot loops, it's underpowered.

I have previously been told there was a way of opting out - that would have saved money. As this isn't the first time you've posted something 'as a joke' that wasn't taken as such, can I respectfully ask you signpost humour......?

Some people just like to rant and complain.....
