Just watching the Space X whoopsie and noticed the term that it encountered "A rapid, unscheduled disassembly" Remember this for next time your model crashes 🙃

Great advice for dealing with a plumber, sorry it's so long and detailed but most of it is true 🙃

Not so much of a problem in Australia, but this might help you to defrost your windscreen back in the UK 🙃 Cold Starts * Chris *

Why are there so many cat jokes? 🙃 (but I like them)

Maybe I am lucky because I still have a local hobby shop and they stock K&S music/piano wire and tubing. https://ksmetals.com/collections/music-wire?srsltid=AfmBOoqq9MCVh-Ou80Xzws1BjRXac8QmHUZ5ihF8XsNN4YyG21QrLm9z Never had a problem using it so I hope that it is also available in the UK 🙃

Pretty good evidence here https://dronedj.com/2025/01/13/dji-mini-drone-la-fire/

For wetting tissue over Doculam, a re-purposed scent sprayer works nicely to locally spritz the already dampened tissue with water if it shows signs of drying out. I can still purchase amyl acetate here in Australia, it smells like bananas and just a light brushful should remove all blushing, otherwise just give another coat of dope but mix in about 50% dope thinners.

David, after heating the piano wire bend area to 'cherry red' and letting it air cool it should bend easily but is no longer springy. Next step is to heat it to cherry red and dunk it in water, now it is very hard and brittle. Last step is to gently heat the bends to a dark blue colour to temper the piano wire. It won't be as precise as the original manufacturer's temperature controlled environment but it's not too bad Here is a guide that works well for me Music Wire Heat Treating.pdf

I was actually asked this question many years ago 🤣

Time flies like the wind .................. Fruit flies like a banana .................. 😞

I have noticed recently that some online forums are being invaded/disrupted by AI bots. For example on rc groups Typical bot detected I cannot fathom why some people get their jollies by being such pests so let's hope that the mods here are on the ball and nip them in the bud.

There was a bit of online chatter that the vendors of anti-drone systems benefited pretty well after the Gatwick fiasco (where no actual drones were actually found) For example DroneShield seem to be doing ok. Who knows what is actually happening with these 'mysterious' sightings? 🙃

Some people seem to specialise in night flying. Just check out this chap's channel Dirty Bird . He's been night flying for years, over a city, and apparently just gets away with it which might encourage people to be copycats.
