Er, not sure that we are. But this ‘progress’ is imposed upon us by those in charge, who think they know best.

Yep, I see the new update is V4.00A.15. I shall probably wait until V4.01A.15 (or whatever their minor release increment is) before I risk it.

Well done PDB that’s sorted it. Thanks for that, I should RTFM 🙂!

I see that a series of Spektrum firmware updates landed on July 18th. Firstly, has anyone installed the latest one as a result of this for their NX10, and does all appear to be OK? I’m not asking because I’ve had a problem, but I’d just like to hear a few opinions before I rush into things. Second, I have a UK (European) spec NX10, and telemetry altitude (with a suitable receiver) displays in metres, however I noticed recently on an American YouTube video that the guy’s NX series Tx was displaying altitude in feet. Does anyone know if it’s possible to change the units of measurement in the transmitter? I’ve been all through the system setup menus on my NX10, and can’t find a way of doing it.

I have memories of having a Keil Kraft handbook with a sky blue cover with a silver coloured model on it when I was a teenager, so I suspect it must have been the one below (internet picture). I seem to remember I used to look longingly at the ‘proportional’ radio sets in it among other things - WAY beyond my means in those days. I’m not sure what happened to the book, but it would be interesting to see a copy now. I saw one on eBay a few years ago and I wish I’d taken to opportunity to buy it, but at the time I thought the price was a bit high.

I had a KK Invader when I was about 12 in 1969/70. 96p, that was about 2 weeks pocket money!

Always be very cynical about any special offers etc. that seem too good to be true, BECAUSE THEY ARE. I received the unsolicited email below a couple of days ago, and immediately reported it and moved it to my junk folder. Report suspicious emails to [email protected], which is the government cyber crime reporting email address. They can then investigate and get them stopped.

Apologies, I’ll reread the entire thread before posting next time 😜!

From this month’s Which? magazine. Topical I think…

Sounds like a couple of TVRs I had before I discovered aeromodelling (just as much fun, but far, far cheaper!). No ABS or traction control, little crash protection, no airbags, and used to aquaplane for a pastime. Sounded good though - when they weren’t broken down at the side of the road!

That’s my favourite driver aid on my Toyota RAV4. It’s very useful for ling up in parking bays and tight spaces.

What’s a sammich😉?

Anyway, back to the funnies…
