This makes it a lot easier to show. Tried to cover the cheeks while they were on the plane but ended up getting annoyed and throwing them across the room in a rage I then carefully ripped them off and covered them seperately I have regained all sanity lost now! 

Hopefully the bank holiday tomorrow will be nice!

Well we have a caravan now, might be able to get him to go anyway just to see it as a model show then maybe bring something along so I can possibly do my A, now what plane would be capable?   Will there be like a slot for people to take the A? Maybe not 

*cough* Night flying LEDs *cough*

Peter Miller Converted his Seagull Spacewalker (the one he crashed for the repair article) to IC

I cannot let you do that dave... XD

That is awesome!   A 1/7 scale C-130 hercules! 

Haha its nice to know I can if I need to!

I was looking through the handbook and this is what I found: "A person shall not cause or permit any article or animal (whether or not attached to a parachute) to be dropped from a small unmanned aircraft so as to endanger persons or property" Page 15 article 166 (1)   Does this then mean I can legally hook my cat meg to my plane and drop it, so long as I do it in a safe (to any human bystanders) manner and avoid damaging property?   I wonder how many children will sellotape a parachute to their pet hamster!   My dad mentioned that old childrens TV program with all the guiney pigs and that one who supposedly went up in that radio controlled plane   Peter 

Hmm, 100 miles, I don't think that is going to happen!

My design is hanging on the wall in my room, waiting for my building list to shrink!

"We all start somewhere!"   Even got the cabin reflection in the bottom of the wing! Edited By Peter 'Servo Scrounger' Savage on 27/05/2010 16:03:57

It still goes through wires (electrical)

Is this 'safety' just being added on to all the other bits of legislation we have to follow? I mean the ones past the sensible one, like the BMFA reg that says you are not permitted to put a live animal on your model aircraft...

Awesome! Wish I could go up in a plane

In my helicopter flying, I have had no professional input (Buddy boxxing, training etc) whatsoever except for rcgroups, I was lucky enough to have my gyro set perfectly out of the box and I am a natural engineer so I managed to work out how to maintain it pretty quickly.   As long as you are holding the heli secure, I don't see why you couldn't do it, it's how I first set up my tracking, having my dad hold it and I spin up the rotors to about half throttle

Is there anything wrong with the gyro? looks alright to me,is the tracking right? I found thatgave me quite a lot of vibration which could be causing the funnelling effect   Heres one to get your disbelief levels up! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2RKLggne0E 

I think I saw somewhere they are going to start using wireless in planes to get rid of all the miles of wire that go into them, hopefully not on 802.11 though!   Okay, all I need to bring a plane down is a directional aerial and a wireless card! 

Although this has been used on and off for 3 years, maybe about 50 cycles

Flown it twice since I did it, does not seem to have made any difference to it whatsoever!

yeah, it's on charge now, they are quite old (maybe a few years)

After coming back to my hirobo lama sky robo heli charger, I discovered my second battery still attached! when I finally managed to source a multimeter, I discovered each cell was at about 0.5 volts :s   I had read on this forum somewhere of someone who left a lipo plugged into his plane overnight and overdrained it at low current and thought I would have a go!    When I plugged it into the charger to try and charge it, all it did was flash an error.   I made some charging wires for it, out of some 0.1 inch header plugs, then plugged it into my old nicad charger put on the lowest charge setting (0.9 amps is still a bit high) for about 6 minutes and it went from 1v all the way up to 7.3v.   I will point out that this was done outside, on the concrete patio, on some roofing tiles with a fire extinguisher to hand.   I then switched over to my other lipo charger and charged the rest of it on 0.5 amps until it was fully charged. I have now found that it works perfectly alright and works on the original charger!   A very relieved Peter Savage!   P.S at £15 I was not going let it go without a fight! And I might just put it in with our other lipos in the lipo safe after this just in case!Edited By Peter 'Servo Scrounger' Savage on 26/05/2010 15:19:41

Bit of a screw up on my behalf

And the ones who fly right at the pits then pull up vertically then kiss there wing spars good bye XD

How much is the admission to the regular greenacres fun flys?
