  1. Never mind the world cup and golden boot, what about Oscars and diving medals? Some of the players antics are disgusting. Edited By Mowerman on 03/07/2018 12:24:17
  2. Take the free plan to a copy shop and get a copy or two then you can keep the original and cut up the copies as required. Nearest copy shop, see yellow pages.
  3. Allopurinol (100mg) 2 per day sorted mine out, still get a slight touch of it occasionally but not a problem.Even as a youngster I occasionally got aches in my foot (classic big toe just like the kids comics used to show the wicked baron with heavily bandaged foot) so not booze.
  4. Flush out the tank, carb and fuel tubes just in case it could be contamination. If you have altered the carb during the recent warmer weather it could be the engine is now over cooling.
  5. Be happy that you hadn't changed to LiPos for TX
  6. Should club secs be worried about this when the DVLA regularly gives out information ad-hoc and many companies sell lists of names, addresses and e-mail addresses I think a sense of proportion is called for .Added to that most ISPs use cookies to collect information, and how secure is that?

  7. With the smokeing exhaust being a failure, its just as well I got rid of my Wartburg (3 cyl 2 stroke).
  8.  The only thing against 35 MHz occurs if you still have old models with it installed but are now mainly using 2.4 in your latest models then one day decide to fly that. old hanger queen, and forget to extend the 35 Tx ariel, don't ask me how I know !!   .   Edited By Mowerman on 06/04/2018 11:19:34
  9. All the aircraft mentioned were important but were no use without crews. The men who flew them ( and the women who delivered them) won the war. Also important were those who built and maintained them. Edited By Mowerman on 01/04/2018 11:24:04
  10. Some years back I was a member of the Reading club and they had float plane flying events some members Wot 4s on floats. The floats were made from eps by one of the members then skinned with thin ply. All flew well. I believe the same floats were used for Puppeteers.
  11. I think a bank will still accept them
  12. X-Acto was the brand name of the favourite knife when I started 60 years ago. they were available in boxed sets of three handles and a selection of blades. These sets are now copied by various makers but are often of poor quality. I have a set of the poor copies but it is in my garage so 6" of snow is stoping me from getting them and photographing then to attach to this post. Edited By Mowerman on 28/02/2018 16:32:54
  13. My memory may be a bit off but wasn't there a model called the puddle duck some years back, I seem to recall it was an amphibian ?
  14. ARC Ready 2 was very popular trainer in my precious club so all looked alike. Decided to make mine a bit different and used Plasticote dayglow colours aerosols in a camouflage patern to create Shamoflage.
  15. Wild Wing. One piece moulded EPP powered by speed 400/8cell Nmh Flew well, bounced well. Produced by Sport Flyers, sadly no longer available
  16. Cheap glasses and sun glasses - Poundland or similar , guess how much !! Edited By Mowerman on 28/01/2018 11:10:40 Edited By Mowerman on 28/01/2018 11:10:57
  17. Looks great good luck for the Maiden
  18. ​I like it, but would he get a permit to fly it here in UK? Edited By Mowerman on 17/12/2017 11:04:08
  19. Once spent ages trying to start a PAW 15 with APC prop, as a precaution I was wearing leather gardening gloves, after some time and many attempts I felt as if my finger we getting wet then found the glove and finger badly cut. Used a chicken stick there after.
  20. Percy Sadly that seems to be the case in many small rural villages, the price of a 'place in the country'
  21. . Just a small point, the law that allows Americans the right to be armed was started when there was very little law enforcement and the 'native Americans ' were trying to protect their lands against the 'white -man', The weapons available at that time were mainly non- automatic and often muzzle loaders . Times have changed and so have the weapons available. but the law has not kept pace with technology.
  22. I watched the program again last night ( I had seen it when first broadcast ) then I thought , footballers, news readers, comics ,pop singers and lots of 'party contributors' get knighthoods ! Does that make you feel proud to be British?
