We are looking at a 20+ year old radio from a manufacturer that went bust in 2017 ( though since partialy resurrected). As such info will be hard to come by. As a long term JR user in the past I would lay odds that it indicates that the lithium button cell battery that was used for memory back up is flat. Replacement will involve locating it on one of the pc boards, removing it & soldering in a new one.

As per Kim, from the distributers, Ripmax: http://ripmax.com/Item.aspx?ItemID=A-CF020A&Category=010-020-010

I needed something similar for a UMX model and made up my own leads. XT60 to outside of the battery & balance plugs, with a common connector to the middle. Hopefully this will give you the idea:

This appears to be a Data Protection issue. The Information Commissioner's Office issues guidance & there appears to be a case for reporting - or threaten to report - the operator &/or the estate agent to the ICO. See: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/uk-gdpr-guidance-and-resources/cctv-and-video-surveillance/guidance-on-video-surveillance-including-cctv/additional-considerations-for-technologies-other-than-cctv/ which includes this example of acceptable practice:

I stand by my post. Euro NCAP has incorporated Driving aids in its assessment since 2018 and is influential in their development. It also now assesses pedestrian safety in addition to occupant safety. See their comprehensive website including: https://www.euroncap.com/en/car-safety/safety-campaigns/2020-assisted-driving-tests/

Basically any modern car with a 5 star safety rating. It is a Euro NCAP requirement for achieving high ratings. The requirements are regularly updated, what may have been a 5 star vehicle 3 or 4 years ago could now be 2 star if its systems have not been upgraded

I've just had the exact same experience, again both EV's. In my Kia I adopted a pre-driving set up that required four button presses before setting off. In my new Mazda I just drive.

Function List>Custom Voice Setup>select the Switch Allocated>select the Switch Pos you want to change then > scroll all the way left to get to the (Silence) option. Then start again. That on my DX9 Firmware 1.06. It's early firmware as I mainly use Jeti & it is now only used on old BNF models, so I have no need to update. Newer versions may be different.

That's one out of 429 and is at the Raddison Blu Perth. Out of those 429, 327 charge 50p/kwh or less. 2 are free, which is definitely cheaper than petrol. https://chargeplacescotland.org/charge-point-tariffs/

This is one of those 'Ask 10 modellers & get 11 different answers' questions! Here's last year's discussion on the topic, which includes my 2p's worth:

My magazine collection has some gaps but I can see that the cam was present on the Bantam with the triangular box by Nov 59: In March 1960 there was still the split between diesel & glow: but by April 1961 they both had cams:

The tin can't be Solarfilm solvent as that was di n butyl phthalate sold as 'Solarfilm Solvent' in small glass bottles, I well remember using it. It was withdrawn from sale pre 1990 when Solartrim was introduced. That's from this 2010 thread: As well as model covering material 'Solar Film' is a fairly generic name for reflective window films used to reduce glare & heat. I suspect the substance in the OP's tin will be associated with that market.

Here's the earliest advert I can find, from August 1959, showing the introduction of the Quickstart spring.

EMP produced a number of such models. EG from 1976:

Heswall MAC in the late 60's. The photo includes a couple of Nats winners and several published plan designers, whilst one of the Juniors went on to become President & CEO of the Piper Aircraft Company.

SMAE Membership was mainly the preserve of the active contest modeller back then. I joined my first Club in 1966 (& I'm still a Member) which had about 50 Members (about 50/50 Senior & Junior) and none of us were in the SMAE. Insurance was not seen as essential but if you wanted it then it was available through MAP for 2/6d! The scale of the hobby in its heyday can be gauged by KeilKraft alone having over 200 employees and kit runs being in the tens of thousands. https://philsworkbench.blogspot.com/2018/03/saturday-film-club-keilkraft-factory.html

Their Website leaves a bit to be desired but here are their contact details from this month's AeroModeller:

AeroModeller is still going strong though.

There are some figures in this thread & you can adjust with the weight of doculam that you are considering:

The the USA version of the IX14 (and other Spektrum Tx's) is capable of backward compatibility to DSM2: but as you can it is not supported in the EU version (as also sold in the UK). This is because the sale of new DSM2 transmitters was effectively banned as from 2015 by a EU directive. Older transmitters were 'grandfathered' and can still be used. I believe the Directive was carried into UK legislation post Brexit & is still in force. However this does mean that if you buy the US version in the States it may be deemed illegal in the UK with its obvious implications.

When I lived on the Island in the 80's 'Cav' (Sir Mark Cavendish)'s father, David, was a member of Manx Model Flyers & was (is?) an excellent pilot.

Do search on the address in the 'Contact us' page: and it comes up as being associated with numerous scams. Use it at your own risk!

As fitted to my Hawk & Avanti. Great little gyro, set it to 'stability mode' for the launch & it guarantees that it will get away with a 100% success, then turn off or use 'Dynamic' as is your preference.

It's the 'Vector' gyro, as fitted to many of the Arrows models 50mm EDF series. In the Arrows models they come pre-programmed & are not adjustable, I've not come across programmable versions but they may be available. I've not seen it with an external switch, the switching on mine is via a 3 position switch to spare channel on the Rx that goes into the input 'BS' Here's a scan of the instructions as supplied by Arrows: 20240616_Vector.pdf
