  1. You'll need very good outside access, a hole in the wall and plenty of strong friends to slide a 6m beam through the trusses!
  2. Engineered fink trusses are designed to take the weight of ceiling finishes I.e 12.5 mm plasterboard, insulation and skimming. But if 600mm centres, then ideally you need 15mm board or noggins to stop sag and Garage door weight isn't going to help. An email to a truss manufacturer would clarify specs A central cross beam as suggested would be the best option allowing some storage possibilities
  3. Haven't bought RCM&E for years, but that looks interesting.
  4. I cut off plugs from old discarded batteries leaving an inch of wire You can remove individual connectors with a pin then solder to the broken wire.
  5. Have fun and don't set your hopes to high after quite a long lay off.
  6. After initial fog cleared was a lovely day, blue skies and light wind. On my own most of the time as the only other member forgot his transmitter and had to go home to get it. Gave me plenty of lone time to use all the batteries I took. 4 x heli, 3 x edf, 2x volantex 109 and 9 x for 3d foamie. Best day for a long while.
  7. Look on the bright side, if there was plenty of glue it may have damaged the wing or broken the leg!
  8. I can see it's a smal tank, but don't forget the fuel weight in your cg calculations.
  9. My point was more that totos batteries have probably been charged since before he built his shed. While I agree learning the correct voltages are favourable, a quick check showing a percentage is better than nothing.
  10. I would say most (including me now) store their batteries around 50%. If I have batteries left charged after a session (very rare) I will leave them fully charged, as long I know their going to be used in about a week. I'm still unsure (from personal experience) if it helps battery life but it's a habit I've got into.
  11. Didn't realise the Bmfa published Rcme.
