Andy Harris Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Here's a different video from my usual fare. Between flights I captured Pete getting ready for his flight - as he does so virtually every weekend: Edited By Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator on 01/04/2012 00:31:03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Privett Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Andy, you seem to fallen foul of the dreaded dodgy forum software and by posting your video in a wide format have probably mucked up the formatting of this page - you probably won't be able to read parts of my post though! Can you edit your post and make the width of the video narrower? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Privett Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Grrrrrrr. The bit from the last bit that you can actually read on the first line said; "and by posting your video in a wide format have probably mucked up the formatting of this page - you probably won't be able to read parts of my post though!

Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 OK its fixed! But Andy can you read tutorials here please which will explain how to post videos. And just for the record - as my corrected edit shows - I don't think that this is caused by "dodgy software" its caused by folks failing to read the tutorials despite over a month now of them being constantly promoted by the mods! BEB PS BTW nice video - and Pete's a man after amy own heart . I sincerely hope that when I'm his age I'll be doing the same! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanR Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I also loved it. The look on Pete's face as he was looking up at his model says it all - magic. Regards to Pete, and good luck to you, mate. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you may say that BEB, but really the forum software shouldn't allow a simple and honest slipup (let alone something deliberate/malicious) to throw the page formatting into disarray. Yes, it would be good if people read, understood and followed the instructions - when they can remember where the intructions are - but you certainly can't rely on that always happening. At least not in any sort of real world. This issue will continue to give the admins and mods grief until the software is fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josip Vrandecic -Mes Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 As I can see RC Modelling connects all generations, as in any field of human society .....of course.. in peacetime Pete and Andy continue to enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W-O Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Took me a while to see who the subject of the post was, I was looking for an old guy. the person is hardly out of his teens in the RC world! And I must agree with John about the software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Harris Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 Thanks @BEB - I did follow the embedding tutorial. My theory is that I have the larger size set by default on my channel. I may test this next time I'm posting. @posters -- thanks for the comments, I forgot to mention that for many weeks now Pete has got himself to the field only to find that the IC engine doesn't quite have the power. He seems to have cracked the problem because the flight I videoed was good, and he was up again Sunday and had a full 20 mins (dead stick again - flew till fuel out). I'll have to find out more about Pete, I noticed that he has some very old Rover badges on his coat so he may have been a member of our club since the Rover Sports and Social days.

flytilbroke Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Never a smile, yet he looked like he enjoyed the flight. My surface texture is heading that way too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly boy3 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I bet Pete has a fount of knowledge regarding R/C. Most clubs have one or two of older lads who can help out with engine problems, CoG etc. and are always ready to give a hand. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
