One thing, Jones. I don’t think you should have added the bicarbonate of soda.” 🚀

Mike T, thanks for your reply, I have in fact managed to source one EU LBT variant presumably accst ver 2 . I went on Frsky's website and clicked on the XJT module, it is not showing out of production.The site gives a list of venders ,the only one with stock was HorusRC.com a Chinese site, which I suspect is a subsidery of Frsky.Perhaps Frsky wanted to deal directly ?

Well, that seems to have made me aware of developments in the muddy waters of Frsky🤪. On a more pressing issue there seems to be a shortage of xjt modules, did Frsky cease or limit production. Does anybody know of a source to obtain one please?

Thank you Mike for the definitive answer.

That then begs the question how would the frsky xjt module cope with different receivers, if different receivers require tuning?

Well that seems logical, thank you for your replies, so within the Frsky series of receivers does one setting apply to all variants or not ? anybody tested two differnt variants and did you need different tune values.

I am puzzled how to fine tune non telemetry type Frsky receivers, as the tuning process involves telemetry. Does tuning a telemetry type Frsky receiver automatically establish the required settings for say a non telemetry receiver, or indeed all Frsky receivers providing they meet the accst protocol?

Thanks Andy for your reply, the rationale is that I am going to stick to frsky receivers, and I would not have to go through the fine tune process. Also this

Hi, Considering getting a Frsky xjt module for my Radiomaster tx16s.Does the the module come as ver 2 of accst or previous version?, also can the version be firmware upgraded?

Hi Lipo Man, Perhaps you would have had more success if you had waited to the next day after emptying the cider bottle , seriously though that is a very good foam build congratulations.

The blue pins with the shoulder look more useful than the straight pins, are they the same as map pins? Or would you say the combination of the 2 is best?.

Hi Martin, well would be interested to see your foam rendition of the triplane, is it going to be the same size as the Flair Baronette ?.

It has to be strong, given the state of some people's armpits

Hi Anthony & Jason, Nice to hear of your personal experiences using the diesel heater, my "sums" were to give a handle on how long the unit would need to function before it became cost effective. In terms of a practical heating standpoint vers. costs then the diesel heater with its 5kw o/p clearly wins, providing the longevity of the unit is reasonable. I am going to see how my shed "performs" in terms of heating with some measurements, I suspect I might be going down the diesel heater option.

This is quite an interesting thread, got me wondering where the break even point would be as regards buying one of these units. So I did a bit of research: so based on the price of a unit approx £100 energy /ltr of red diesel approx 10kWhr cost of red diesel averages at £0.85 electric cost £0.27 / kWhr lets assume the unit is 100% efficient so cost per kWhr would be £0.85/10 = £0.085 saving obtained per kWhr over electric = £(0.27-0.085)= £0.185 If the unit was run at full chat always i.e.5Kw it would need to run for 100/5x 0.185 hrs =108 hrs to break even. Now clearly that is not realistic since the unit is not going to be 100% efficient and would not run at full chat all the time.lets assume the unit is at full for half the time so now the time to break even would be 216 hrs in a very rough ball park figure manner. The average modeller might spend 10 hrs a week in his shed so 21 weeks .And thats assuming 21 weeks of cold weather.
