[Anti virus for windows 10]

As GG says, you can get office (ie, word, excel, outlook etc)for minimal cost for a perpetual license, none of this subscription lark. Windows it's self is a one of cost.

[Anti virus for windows 10]

What do you mean by a "Windows annual subscription" - windows itself it not subscription?

 

In any case, many people say that windows defender (built in and free) is good enough not to require an additional antivirus product for most users.

 

Just also be aware that Windows 10 is end of life and therefore will become unsupported before too long, I can't remember the dates but 2025 I think.

Awesome! First of my bits should arrive today/tomorrow, it's all a bit over my head but my son and I have taken it on together, should be a fun thing for me to learn. Thanks very much to FlyinFinn and Dave windymiller for sharing your work! 

[Warbirds Replicas FW190 building tips and help.]

Fantastic, appreciate the advice. Mine has two 3s 2200s up front and balances around 90mm from F2, total weight is only just over 4lbs so didn't know whether to leave as is for the maiden or add weight up front.

What was the general consensus on C of G for these models, I remember seeing some discussion around it but can't find it now..so may related threads!

 

Thanks

I've got around it my address was incomplete on AliExpress, until it's has complete data not just postcode it gives error " cannot ship to country" .

Ah, I was getting the same message so I'll try that, thanks for the heads up.

[The Big Question ?]

Thanks all,  I've utilised (stolen, plagerised, ripped off or whatever you want to call it) lots of ideas from the many that have shared thier build, not least of all Ron for his videos but LM and many others have been a great help.

[The Big Question ?]

Not sure why but the wings now look like a pair of nora batties tights, been OK up until now and looks OK in the picture but lots of bubbles now?

Ah well.....   in that case it would be a much easier task to add something like a 0.91" oled display to the Xiao/HT1818 board . something like this 

 

 

The display has two lines of text so perhaps alternately display alt / max alt and then speed / max speed.....  

 

Of course Windy's solution is proven and 'off-the-shelf' and this one would need a bit of work and a new PCB.  More tinkering methinks!

 

Thanks, I need to sit down and study things a bit!

Hi Flying Squirrel. The post on 23 march will do exactly what you are saying.  I only made a mockup of it so didnt post any pics of it. The max height recorder I made several years ago is similar except it now includes max speed too as well as max altitude.  

That's brilliant, thank you. I've been looking at the 'speedflea' for some time but I also have an inquisitive mind so would much prefer to learn something by putting it together myself, I do have some experience but certainly not enough to start from scratch!

[Homemade GPS logger]

Sorry, I should have been MUCH clearer! I did mean just sited within the model and simply being able to see at a glance when the model is back on the ground the max speed/alt achieved. Similar to Dave windymillars post 23rd March.

 

I say 'did' as speaking with my (much brighter than I) son last night about the Xiao he mentioned the 'possibility' of a 'ground station' readout he'd like to explore.

 

Just to clarify, I certainly wasn't asking you to rewrite code etc, just confirm if it was 'do-able'

 

[Homemade GPS logger]

What an interesting project, not that I need anything else to think about right now but I'd like to give this a go. @FlyinFlynn what would be the requirement to have an lcd readout of 'live' max alt/max speed?

 

Thanks

There are quite a few chaps who I'm pretty sure want the Tempest who haven't ticked the "Like box" on the last page . 

Understandable as they get swamped with different threads and postings. 

At the moment ive got 17 likes and confirmed and say three in PMs , but from my notes and correspondence Ive got over 35 .

Not to worry , I'm fairly confident that the 35 number is pretty accurate . 

 

I wonder if the talk of the next model in the series has folks thinking about skipping the Tempest, just a thought? 

 

[Are small magnets a problem?]

Sensibly sized magnets shouldn't interfere with radio signals but may affect any onboard sensors that some setups have

 

[Warbirds Replicas Hawker Tempest V -Mass Build 2024(part two) .]

Is the order book for the tempest open?

[Lost drone.]

It's a cheap DJI knockoff from the likes of Aliexpress, I think pulling the battery was a wise move!

2x3s or 4s max for me

With or without retracts/flaps

any of the 'cats would suit me

Simple, crutch and foam wing type build

Like LM above, even though a mozzie isn't 'up there' for me I would probably go for just to add diversity

Nothing too big or a pain to disassemble/reassemble as somebody didn't check for folding seats when buying a saloon.......

[Drone Taxi]

Having an open mind on the whole subject of drones and personal flight vehicles clearly puts me in the minority on here!

 

Lots of naysayers and general hatred to ANYTHING 'drone' related from most people involved in other aspects of the hobby of RC Flight...perhaps they feel they are to blame for the increase in regulation etc

I have all finishes at my disposal! For me it would be a choice between brown paper and laminating film, but for dead easy, quick and cheap it has to be brown paper which I will be doing on this build. When I build the Tempest I may cover that with laminating film.

 

 

Apologies, I meant between the final coat of PVA, floor varnish or finishing resin.
