And me!

The original question was which Spektrum, dx6 or dx6i. Nothing to do with why!

But I succeeded to fly when he went home! He was not a novice pilot and I helped him regularly setting planes up when he used Spektrum. Out of the blue he bought radiomaster after reading how good they were. Unfortunately for him I have no interest in learning a new system so he'll have to learn himself.

I go to fly,not spend time on the internet! If he wants to use a different system he can get it to work at home.

Same here, at least I can help users with some Spektrum settings. Only last week I was asked to help set up throttle end points on a radiomaster set. Unfortunately he had to go home without flying as I had no clue.

Not quite over my house but Henley Regatta flypast

And you wonder why the kids don't join clubs!!

18 is an olden if your 13 apparently!

There plenty of kids on you tube/social media and at shows flying 3d planes/helicopters. You don't see them at a lot of clubs because its not cool to mix with the oldens and the oldens complain about their flying. Perhaps instead of amalgamating clubs we should have under 25's only flying at weekends and that gives the retired oldens plenty of time to talk about flying (And moaning that their not allowed to fly at weekends) in the week.😉

That colour scheme will keep your brain sharp!

Cracking day at field today. Bit warm but 10 to 15 mph was too good to miss after the mostly stong winds we've had recently. On my own so managed 17 flights, 8 x flying some C manoeuvres, 6 x heli aerobatics (should really take my heli A) and 3 x 3d flights. Heli and 3d plane need a bit of maintenance before next trip so must be pushing hard enough😉 Back to high 20's mph and over 30's temps. So no flying but maybe a trip to the coast.

Wish I'd kept my foamie Wot 4, it used to cope well with the wind. Never tried 40 mph, but high twenties was fine.

Elastic band works for me. Put it around battery and leads when charged the morning before flying. Take it off when used. Also good for the village as I pick up the bands discarded by the postman!

12 to 23mph forecast today, similar to when I flew on Monday, and the Friday before. I had 8 pleasurable flights then,so gave it ago today. Wind direction slightly different and gusting over 25 mph, made it very turbulent and hard to fly anything accurately. Used the 6 batteries I had charged but fighting all the time, so not particularly pleasant. Only me daft enough again, starting to think I'm the only member! Needed thick fleece to fly, but T shirt and air con turned on driving home, very strange.

If your on about the Dave Shulman crash, I've read he wasn't flying on Spektrum he was using a pcm10x pre 2.4. I'm sure Konrad will give us all the details.
