Never crashing and only buying fuel, that helps a business (tongue in cheek)

[Ugly Mustang strip and rebuild, can it be rescued?]

Fantastic. However knowing your loathing of castor how come yiu had a castor fuelled tail wheel😉

[New Emojis please.]

Ora tombstone for those that should be buried

[Ripmax in Administration.]

Local model shops generally obtain their stock from Ripmax. Guess they  are going to struggle.

[Old Warden July Scale weekend - 22nd / 23rd]

Wow, how did that happen. I suppose the only thing to rely on P1, Verst and Fastest Lap, Verts. Sorry just cannot bring myself to type his full name. Great racer no doubt.

[Who has First Hand experienced a LiPo fire ?]

Charge outzide or in other halfs shed which has concrete floor

[Toolkit RC M9]

A non mandatory reply...

I have the Overlander dual charger, been used fairly regularly and have had no problems. Yiu can also download an app to automate the charging set up. ( i havent i object to apps that steal your info).Not the Toolkit item you were asking about but thought may broaden your outlook.

[Re purposing expanded foam packaging]

It can.make useful model stands.

[Who has First Hand experienced a LiPo fire ?]

Regarding ammo boxes. The odd few appear in model shops, car boot sales, outdoor exhibitions i.e. stream rallies claasic car etc.

As for not drilling holes i disagree, keeping more than one in an ammo box will, if one goes have others follow. Venting gas undrr pressure i think is better than a bursting metal box. Thats just my opinion i feel there will be others.

Nice job

[LiPo Internal Resistance Readings - please explain]

I must confess i did check some of mine a while back. They were all quite high i.e. double figures. I still use them only showing puffy dont seem to have lost much 8  performance . The science i am sure will eventually catch up with my practical use.

[Bouncy landings, particularly EDFs]

Rrr now i know why my Wot 4 mkll lands, lands, lands again!!!

[Wings and Wheels, North Weald]

Lots of places are cadh only. But come the day we are cashless then government will have more control of taxation etc. Then we will see the re arising of bartering or

' black cash, tokens' in use.

[illegal; drone flight and non registration fines]

We have the CAA Registration. I have some doubt as to the full implementation of Remote Identification (RID). Whilst the mantra seems to be 'safety' the other theory is remote delivery via drone. AN interesting thought, negotiating power and telephone lines in and around built up areas. Insurance would be interesting, and cost. How many drones would you use and how many drops could they make in comparison to your 'white van' I make the wild assumption there has been some sort of cost benefit undertaken.

And how many light aircraft, microlights, paragliders have RID, I know full well they do not all have ADSB. Now that is a SAFETY issue. 

As for drone display's, brilliant !

[Heat Alert]

This is not a woke warning as per BBC.

If you use hot glue on your models please bare in mind the heat, especially when left in the car. Clues in the name Hot, last thing you want is to see the component parts fluttering to earth.

[My Next Assembly ..... The Arising Star.]

I have the Arising Star and used all the supplied components. Standard servo's a 4cell eloop battery. Maybe i was lucky but have no leaking tank trouble.

All that and a great plane to fly, trainer or not.

Sorry Andy i have an OS 20.

[Summer 2023 is here, who has been flying then?]

Well the weather is going to change, so sulk no more. You have much to do.

( i have thise days too)

But what you are saying isn't valid. The fatality rate is per passenger mile travelled, which makes flying safer than other modes of transport. Your argument is akin to saying the worst place to go if you are ill is to a hospital as so many people die there.

Thank you, however it is how the stats are viewed. Per passenger mile is excellent for the quote. When the risk element is attached then it becomes less safe.
