I have the Bosch. It works well, however i have noticed on occasion the glue tends to 'foam'. I dont know whether this is the glue stick or temprature of the gun. Also dont put the nozzle directly on the material you are bonding, it will burn through foam etc.

Re price increase, they were held for awhile then shot up. A number of reasons i suspect, its not like models havwnt increased in price!
At the point of sale its your wallet so the choice is yours

What really scares me in that video, and i see it at the fields, having your wedding tackle infront of the prop when connecting the battery. Stand, kneel behind the chewy thing at the front when connecting the battery.

I see that the funnies topic is being overtaken by tales of yesteryear. Perhaps we can have them in here instead, please....
I remember when we had gas poker which were used to start the coal fires ate home. My brother and I would fill a bowl with water and fairy liquid, shove the poker in and get it bubbly, Poker off and out match in, cleaned the carpet!
Mum weren't happy lol

It is the ancillary stuff, the innovation and problem solving that comes out of it where, in general the benefits lay.
Fuelling is the main issue for all electric powered transport and is probably going to remain that way for sometime.
I seem to recall a ceramic battery being hailed as the next best thing a couple of years ago, but that seems to have disappeared off the radar, unless of course the military industry have it.
Don't forget military applications do filter out to the commercial market and vice versa

Good luck to all the participants in tomorrows challenge. I trust you all have a dry and not too windy day and the bun liners stay in the car.

Given we now have to have registration seems we should ask our associations to notify the CAA of our locations. The rules we have to follow and thereby let local airfields know of our presence. And to ensure THEIR min height is adhered to.

It is always the unseen damage that in general causes the problems. You look at the obvious damage and around the immediate area and fix it. Then when you fly you note odd behaviour causing much scratching of head and cinsultatiin with colleagues. Then unexpectedly you find the problem normally hiding, which gives rise to "how on earth".

Just appears at the top of screen on my mobile, mildy irritatingbut hey ho we are not paying to maintain server etc.

Two pieces of 2x2 (inches), mounted vertical top to bottom of shed, 18inches apart. Drill series of holes to take dowel, insert dowels and place wings across the dowl. Look to the left of the pic. I use a portable clothes hanger for the fuselage, the type you see in some shops. Drilled some holes in the top rail, more dowel, pipe insulation and hand the airframes from the tailplane. You can just see it. I will have to get some proper pics

Lipo care and safety. Discharge to storage dont leave fully charged, hmmm but those 'rules' out of the window when hooked up to a starter.
I really do wonder sometimes about the conflicting advise and di as i say not what i do.
Tongue in cheek or!!!???

FWIW, I have attempted to build balsa planes, I presently have a fuselage sitting in the back bedroom, I dont think I get it right, something always seems to be slightly out of kilter. (please don't get asking about baseboards, set squares etc) On the occasion I have tried covering i seem to get more wrinkles than Old Mother Riley (gawd I'm old), and yes practise makes perfect but at what cost. I have made foamboard models one from scratch, also a hovercraft from scratch, used foam board as a skirt as well, and made planes from Flite Test plans. I have to say those do fly well.
ARTF is certainly easier and 'bolt together' has its attractions.
Some have time to build, others do not, some are skilled some not so.
Each to their own is surely the way.
I wanted to fly model aircraft and I can, whilst also admiring the attention to detail and craftsmanship which others clearly have.
I know that if i asked various club members they would readily assist in my construction skills, right now though I have enough to play with.

Been today (Monday 17th) at a club I have just joined, Goosedale, as ever friendly bunch of blokes. Only had a couple of flights as the sun was coming out and left sunglasses behind. The WOT 4 MkII is a cracker.
And the weather looks rubbish till next week doh!

For no real reason I was perusing the situations vacant column and amongst others I noted there were vacancies for Tree Surgeons. It struck there must be a large number of hidden trades we never hear about, I mean you never hear of Tree Anaesthetists !
In a slightly off beat way on seeing Hair Dressers I had the alarm vision of a hair dressed in a kilt and tam o’ shantr …... I guess the 60’s are coming back to haunt me

Not sure if this is the right thread however...
Just tried to speak with my local GP and noted change in the usual preamble which has had the following added " please visit your local picket line"
