hi David the M6 test (foundation) is the first of three to get you started and "extreemly" difficult to pass you need to be able to get to a course the hardest part is trying to decide how many suger to put in your coffee and parting with the cash. Eric there is no way I would spent 6 or 7 hundred pound for a s/h set on ebay I was looking at going for a Yaesu FT897D a bit pricey for a first set but I only want to do it once I dont want to out-grow my first set in the first year or two.

Steve i was listening to a repeater site on a hand held scanner hooked up to an aerial 40ft up a pole. thanks for the morse link eric i know its not a requirement for the course but if i want to progress i am going to need it so i just as well start now then its there for when i do have to have it and it would be fun to play with. sorry for high-jacking you thread i should take this over to your qso's thread really.

Excellent product I haven’t use plastic dip but I have used the liquid tape on electrical wiring applications with great success in hard to reach areas
-
Many thanks for that eric i will have a look later and as soon as i have a call sign i will let you know. ive just got to find some morse training software now. I had the scanner out last night listening to 145.235/40 a couple of yanks chatting about E links very interesting I cant wait to get a radio.

I cant say what i do is fly its more a case of i can take off then spend the next 7 to 10 mins trying to keep it in the air in a controlled manner then attempt to return it to the ground in a state that it will take off again. but you are more than welcome to come along to see the site its the best one i have flown from, the grass is as near to a bowling green as your going to get pm me your phone no to arrange a session DONT give out you phone no on any of the forum boards. we can organise some buddy box flying for you aswell.Edited By inspector9566 on 30/10/2010 21:59:29

Hi Dorset flyer and wrlcome to the best rc forum site in the uk. Where abouts in dorset are you, i fly at hurn on wide open terf fields the grass is never longer than 3/4" long and very flat its a great site if your local give me a shout. Jim Lacey used to be a member of our club but i havent seen him around for a while i dont even know if he still flys planks which is a shame becouse hes a fantastic pilot.

hobby king bad service issue

all previous orders on the same details have arrived ok just this one got lost just my luck it was the dearest one I placed with them I now use giant cod and robot birds for most of my stuff but they dont do the range so im waiting patiantly for this to be sorted as i am desperate to place another order with them but im a bit iffy about their after sales service given the way i have been treated. -
Hi all I was just wondering how many people have had bad service from hobby king. I placed an order for $183.00 worth of goods on the 21/03/2010 the order was confirmed as dispached. after 7 or 8 emails backward's and forward's the goods or refund have not been received I have been fobbed of with three emails saying they are waiting for a response from hk post over the last three months but only when prompted by me for a status update. has anyone else had this problem and what was the out come. needless to say I am pretty peeved to say the least.
