Were he a pop star, politician or high profile business person he would be 'Sir Boddo' by now!   I trust Our Favourite magazine will make the necessary representations? What I am sure of, is that we will have an annual event in his name which will be designed to promote the essence of the man.   Never met him sadly, but back as far as my magazine collection stretches, he inspired us all with his creativity and industry - and I really am an old fart

I can't reach Subscriber only content because I didn't update my profile with my subscriber number.   The reason being I don't know my subscriber number and despite trying to email everyone on the 'Contact Us' page on this site, thus far I have been ignored or had my mails bounced.   So anyone know the back door into finding ones subscriber number ...... and before you ask I don't have a 'Silver bag'   Pretty please .... 

A good plan!   The battery(s) will be here in 1-14 days (a bit like the current draw eh ?) then it will take me a while to build 1 day to ( well I have some I started pre 1990 that aren't quite finished).   Then we're good. Don't have to wait for a dry day to fly, 'cause we have 340 days sunshine a year here. The winds are light to moderate on those days also. But then there's the golf, the sailing, the windsurfing, the wife - but hey - it is up there high in my list of priorites - I just spent money on the kit to do it   Don't touch the knob  - sorry dial, I'll be right back after these messages from our sponsors ...........    

Well in the end I have to start somewhere ( did I really write that ).   The plan shows a 50ma pack and two 9g servos, so with the bigger pack, 5g servos and a little Jeti receiver I hope all will be well.   There's probably someone very clever looking in who could tell us exactly  home much airtime I'll get.    I'll keep you posted ....

Well I found what I was looking for here :-    http://www.onlybatterypacks.com   #G164B 4.8v 160mah NiMH 1/3 AAA Block Pack. Cell: GP 160mA 1/3 AAA Discharge rate: 1C (160mA) Size; L .57" x W .86" x H .86". Weight: 1oz.    They cost $8 + $1 for Futaba plugs + shipping of course.   Thanks for all your help guys, I'll post a photo of the finished article forthwith. 

All up weight should be 100-130 gms. Span is only 22.2". Next question would be ........ Where would I find those ?  Thanks again.  

Sorry! Yes I need a very small 4.8 volt RX pack for a micro RX and two 5g servos. Can't wait to start building my A3 scale Sixpence Mk2. glider,but like to have all the hardware available to work with before I start. I could put together my own pack, but I much prefer the peace of mind knowing it doesn't rely on my soldering  Many thanks, John 

You'd think with all the goodies and development we've come to expect that I could find a micro 50ma niwhatever pack. Looked everywhere I can think of! I have around 30mmx20mmx20mm ish to play with and I'd prefer a Futaba plug but hey ..... beggars ! All and any help greatly appreciated. 

If at first .....

if i entered twice the editor talked me into doing it! If I win, will I get two prizes ?

I don't understand. I keep entering each month but my prize never arrives

One day it will be my turn

pretty please

Perfect for a Cyprus summer
