The list is about half way down on the Popham model show main web page.

0ne of my clubmates had a similar thing happen on a newly set up model recently. It turned out that the way he set it up, when he moved the throttle cut switch to armed the model went to full throttle and the stick had no effect. I don,t have any further info on how he managed it.

I have had a number of Freewing models and the only servo's I have had to replace have been due to handling damage getting the model in and out of the car/workshop.

As I said in a previous post myself and 3 other club members have updated to the latest firmwares with no problems whatsoever. I flew my Freewing 70mm F-16 today with a Tandem R-10 and no issues.

Ray was fine when I saw him in the village a few weeks ago but he hasn't been flying much recently, he doesn't like the cold weather these days. I have been using the M6D for a few years now and find it very good. If you still want to come and have a look let me know.

I am about 450 meters south west of the Thatched Tavern. Are you a member of CADMAC ?, if so we quite possibly know each other. George

I have an M6D and live in the Witterings. Presuming you live around here you could pop round and have a look if you wish.

I read the Frsky topics on RC Groups every day and while I have seen reports of bricked receivers I don't recall it being a mass problem. As I said I have seen similar problems with previous versions of firmware and have been seeing reports about bricked receivers long before the latest version was released. I also don't recall any posts on RC Groups saying that vendors have recommended not to do the upgrade. I have flying mates who have also upgraded with no problems. By the way prior to moving to Frsky I was multiplex user.

I have updated my Frsky radios (X18 and Tandem XE) to Ethos 1.6 and firmware 3.0.1 with no problems. The receivers were all updated using ota. This included Archer + and TD receivers including stabilised receivers. In the past prior to the latest version's I had a receiver which was updated using ota but wouldn't work however after advise from T9 I updated it using the wire method and it worked fine.

Thanks for the replies, it looks like Bambu is the way to go. I have noticed that one of the companies I buy filed from has also moved over to Bambu from Ender. Any advice on the best place to buy one?

I have been printing with an Ender 3 V2 Neo for a couple of years but am starting to have problems with it so I was thinking of updating to one of the newer faster printers. I was thinking of either the Ender 3 V3 or Bambu A1 and would be interested in peoples thoughts and experiences on these printers. I would also be interested in any problems I might face in changing over.

i experienced the slow response for the first time this morning but it now appears to be back to normal.

I print 40 at a time on A4 sheets of self adhesive ink jet vinyl.

Ron, the AUW ready to fly is 940g, this includes a 3S 2200 lipo which operates the radio via a BEC. George

My Fox was built for slope soaring only so weight gain wasn't a concern. The fuselage and wings are covered with 25g/m2 glass cloth applied with Deluxe Eze-Kote hopefully to increase it's damage resistance. I have been unable to fly it yet so can't comment if it has increased the damage resistance but in certainly feels more rigid..

I had a problem with my Ender 3 where the heating element had come half way out of it's position in the print head. Once pushed back into place and secured I had no further heating problems.

I believe If you passed the A or B after 2020 you had to do one of the two tests to get a Flier ID.

As far as I am aware If you have been already issued with a Flier ID based on an A or B you have until 30th November to take the RCC. If you have not been issued with a Flier ID I think you will have to take the RCC to get one.

Me also.

PPM center adjustment is available on transmitters running Open TX and Frsky transmitters using Ethos.I don't know about any other manufacturer or system.

Just checked my log and I have had 96 visits to our fields this year with an average of 3 hours a visit. Taking into account club fee's, BMFA and CAA it works out at just over 40 pence an hour.

Have a look at the Xfly A-10 setup. It has twin 50mm fans and flies on a 4S pack. I get 4 minutes of mixed flying on a 4S 2600 pack.

Just had a count up and I have 24 ready to go. Mostly edf's and slope gliders with 1 electric glider and 2 with propellers. With the exception of a couple waiting for their maiden flight all have flown this year. There are also a few in the loft which just require receivers.

Mine arrived from the CAA on Wednesday 23rd. I do everything through the BMFA.

Hi Konrad, thanks for the reply. It will be taken on board especially the control throws.
