Errr... isn't that more or less what they actually did do? The CAA left much of the certification to Boeing because they did not have the resources to do it themselves....or did I miss-understand the results of the 737MAX inquiry? https://www.seattletimes.com/business/boeing-aerospace/failed-certification-faa-missed-safety-issues-in-the-737-max-system-implicated-in-the-lion-air-crash/

Apparently we, on the continent, are not allowed to own such a model, perhaps HK think we are too sensitive? It automagically changes to this when you change the delivery address from the UK...but the item is shipped from China ..... WTF?

Good plan.

These diesel heaters are primarily aimed at the car or truck warming market in really cold climates, perhaps you were expecting a little too much from it to heat 1760 square foot space in 10 minutes?

Some clubs have been left a lot more than that in a will and gone on to buy a flying field.

Only if it is less than 32GB. Note: If the 64GB SD card only has a single partition, you can’t directly format the partition to FAT32 with Disk Management. Windows Disk Management only allows you to format a drive under 32GB to FAT32. To solve this, you can right-click the partition on the SD card and choose Shrink to shrink the partition (limited to NTFS partition) to 32GB. Right-click the Free space and click New Simple Volume to create another 32GB partition on the SD card. Then you can follow the 3 steps above to format these two 32GB partitions to FAT32 format. (https://www.minitool.com/partition-disk/how-to-format-64gb-sd-card-to-fat32.html) Stay calm if you are experiencing the same issue: Windows doesn't allow you to format 64GB or bigger SD card to FAT32. Follow through this guide, and you'll get a complete and easy guide to successfully format your SD card and other types of storage devices into FAT32 as easy as 123. Let's get started here. (https://www.easeus.com/partition-master/format-64gb-sd-card-to-fat32.html) I would suggest asking a computer novice to mess around with partitioning disks is a recipe for disaster.. it's ok if you know what you are doing but someone will end up partitioning their system drive.

I would have thought the positioning and orientation of the model would have a far greater impact on link reliability. Is it lying on long wet grass on the ground or is it 80cm's up on a table?

It maybe that Linux will allow that natively but a windows machine will not when using the standard windows utilities. Something like partition master will need to be downloaded. Be careful not to partition master your main storage devices!

Not sure if you already know this but Teaching Tech has a video on Creality board upgrades and firmware flashing problem.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neS7lB7fCww

Is it made of a fireproof material? 🙂 Might double up as a weed growing tent too 🙂

As others have already said, it is quite possibly down to the standard of card. You probably need an SDHC card, which is formatted with FAT32 and will be between 2GB and 32GB, what you have with your QUMOX is a SDXC card formatted with exFAT. https://www.sdcard.org/developers/sd-standard-overview/capacity-sd-sdhc-sdxc-sduc/

You could automate the re-charging process with a CC/CV step up regulator something like this along with a cheap as chips 12V 'wall wart' PSU. Set the charging current at something less than the rating of the wall wart and set the CV limit at 12.8v...job done and leave that permanently connected to the battery. There is the fan in the heater drawing power too!

Why? this is a public forum where views are freely expressed is it not? You are advocating censorship. Do you not think your post was hypocritical as you are expressing your preference that not everyone wants to see. We are already out of it, or at least quite a large part of it (remind me, what is the maximum height we are allowed to fly at and what did that height used to be 10 years ago?) As sure as night follows day there will be further restrictions because money talks and, as a tiny cohort, aeromodellers don't have enough of it to fight those influential organisations with designs on the rest of the airspace. Cold, hard facts trump head-burying every time. I agree with you, but no one claims to have more insight, it is a case of coming to a different conclusion when examining all the data available to them at the time and tying that in with historical facts. While I would agree that the cockup-ery is undoubtedly present, even commonplace, for me it simply doesn't explain away all the atrocious decisions made by the powers that be. The only thing that does explain all of those is 'vested interests' . Always follow the money. Well said John, that is the only course of action, fruitless as it will inevitably be.

Currently the time difference between someone being a conspiracy theorist to a soothsayer is about 6 months.... and shortening. I think I will bookmark this 'conversation' for review in 6 months. We will see.

I disagree with your premise that the powers that be couldn't or wouldn't impose a ban on model flying outside a national emergency. Recent history has clearly demonstrated historical values stand for nothing in todays world. Besides, if the powers that be need a national emergency in order to pursue some prescribed course of action I reckon they would just invent one (also as per recent history), they are that emboldened now.

Maybe this is a case of ebay organising fake traffic to make ebay look a larger concern than it actually is?... a bit like facebook and their bot accounts.

A couple of self tappers at the ends will hold them down 🙂. As a side note (and potentially less flippant) my pritt stick ran out yesterday so I bought two packs of some non-descript sticks so I could carry on printing parts for my new cnc - that didn't last long as all I will say is not all pritt sticks are created the same! Ah well, I suppose the missus will not be running out of paper glue any time soon and I'm off to the shops again....... Is it possible to print these parts on a raft to increase the contact area?

It is questionable what 'extra' range performance one of these elrs radios will actually provide you with when, in Europe, the claimed maximum output power achievable by this radio is restricted from 1watt (30dBm in the US) to 100mW for use in Europe. (20dBm EIRP)... the same as pretty much every other R/C Tx module.

A new rabbit burrow has opened! Enjoy the journey.

If you can't find different coloured servo connectors you could use shrink wrap...IMO slightly better than tape cuz it won't un-wrap itself.

https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-m2-screws-brass.html Hex head will be an issue though...not sure you will find any at M2. Could you use M2 threaded rod and an M2 locknut instead?

As far as slicers go I have used Simplyfy3D in the past but have now migrated somewhat into Prusaslicer which is, IMHO, better than Simplyfy3D, with the added bonus of it being free. You can use it with any printer, not just Prusa's models. I currently have 3 printers because they just seem to replicate themselves while you are not looking :-). I can't really recommend any particular model, I built my first printer from an aluminium frame kit I bought off ebay and built the printer from that thinking it would be more resilient in aluminium but the two other printers (wood and plastic) I have built since don't seem to be lacking in durability either. Best advice I could give you is decide on what size build platform you need and find something in your price range. Everyone will have a different view on workflow, I still use the now defunct but still obtainable 123DDesign for 3D design and LibreCad for 2D design (both free and at the 'easier to get into' end of the scale). Others seem to just bite the bullet and go straight to Fusion 360, there is no doubt it is a much more competent piece of software but I find it isn't intuitive for me and thus I can never get to grips with it. Horses for courses! Can't say I have had any issues with using the cheapest filament I can lay my hands on, including the stuff from Hobbyking when they have it on sale.

If you scroll down the listing page a bit you come across - I don't think Pink_Lion noticed that before deciding on a price!

I think I would want to check with the supplier before embarking on that course of action, at the moment you have legal recourse with the supplier which could well be compromised if you open the case without specific permission from the supplier. While the Tx is certainly customisable there is nothing in the manual that I can find that says "unscrew the back panel and take it off....." The problem may be something like Andy suggests but are you willing to take the chance?

I prefer the - The first drone that lands on someone's head, or takes off clutching a cat, sets the program back another decade, particularly if it is filmed. Talk about putting ideas in peoples heads! Photoshop anybody?
