  1. Tip Staff are wearing bodycams now, so can get video evidence. Maybe not beheading for first offence!
  2. Very happy to take stuff at our tip. The Credit card machine is warmed up, and ready to charge for stuff on the ever expanding list!
  3. Dunno the £40k saved, rolled up in his pocket might make the difference.
  4. Go for the Dacia Duster non hybrid and blow the rest on wine, women and song. You're only here once!
  5. We cant get 2/3 of our club to fly at our site, let alone somewhere else further away. I wonder why they join sometimes but glad they do.

    Wouldn't having the plastic sheet pool the water if any condensation or rain ingress, and defeat the object.
  7. I imagine the 10s cut off was originally brought out for cost capping. Checking for 10s is very easy, whereas checking power output could get very complicated especially If someone is wanting to bend the rules.
  8. But why, 2 stroke glow engine are so basic there is not much that can be wrong? Why does my mds 40 run fine and others have so much trouble.
  9. Just wondering why all these so called dreadful engines got this reputation. Surely if it starts and runs without seizing it's not an engine fault, it's a carb or set up fault. We've all seen the faffers having problems getting their os's and lasers amongst others running and people jump in to help. An mds and everyone runs away.
  10. My mds 40 was great, nearly always started first flick. Powered my wot 4 for years. Still got it and may use it again someday. Lasted longer than the os 46 fx that had a replacement piston/liner not long after purchase and is now scrap with the same problem.

    Looks like your picking up the inverted flying ok!
  12. How are we going to buy tyres if we don't use both!
  13. Woke up to rain, forecast for rain all day (was actually ok for 3/4 hours) then rained again. So no flying again today. 20+ mph winds tomorrow, 30+ mph Friday. Spent more time mowing the strip than flying from it this year! At least house isnt flooded like many and indoor flying starts soon.

    My 14 x 10 shed has polystyrene insulation in the walls then plasterboard, foil bubblewrap on the ceiling, single glazed windows and a typical not very well fitting door. I use an oil filled rad for heat,though have used calor gas previously. There is no ventilation other than the poorly fitting door, and the door being opened when needed. It's 20 yrs old and has many more years left with no damp problems. My house only has loft insulation and old double glazing with no vents, still no problems, it may cost a little more to heat but who knows. I know one thing, many modern supposed fixes do nothing but drain your wallet!

    Maybe a vlog's required.
  17. Nice. The only picture I've got hanging in the modelling shed is this one taken out of a skip many years ago. I havent built anything since covid and never built a warbird, perhaps it could be a winter project.
  18. Watching the rain lash down here, thunder lightning and 30mph winds!!
  19. It does if your not very good at landing!
  20. Dont know your circumstances but the rules changed about towing a trailer and there not as restrictive as they were.
  21. Was sort of hoping as they're robart or similar and no play whatsoever it would be OK but I'll fill the gap with tape or film, better to be safe than sorry. Thanks.
  22. Trailing edge is spot on.
  23. I did think about tape but not sure if I could do a neat job!
