Geoff has always had his address on the site as Membership Sec. But as you say we can check with him next Committee meeting, he is away at the moment. Rod

Hi Richard. Well done, ATM the events calendar is not working. Rod

That's why I use lead locks and always recommend them when training. Rod

Can't make it today, wish I could. Rod

Watching the slalom ski race the other day the multi rota copter being used to get over head shots crashed a few feet from the racer! and I mean a few feet about 4 or 5 feet. Crowds were lining the course some meters away. The pilot must have been a pro with pro equipment so it shows what can happen when things go wrong. This was in Italy perhaps they allow flying close to and over people. In the right hands with the right attitude to safety they are reasonably safe, in the wrong hands with little or no regard to safety they can (and probably will) be lethal. Rod

I have fixed the Airsoft Game Dates link, it now shows the years Game Date Calendar. Rod PS This only works from the Forum not from the site home page.

I always use the mains power supply to charge, can't be bothered to take the battery out and why anyway. For some time after Taranis was in use at the field several of the instructors debated for some time if this was the Tx to recommend to new members we were training. In the end the view taken by most is that if the new member is serious about the sport then Taranis is the way to go, if not then go for a cheaper entry level radio. How much this saves in the end is debatable. Rod

I just checked the Southern Model Show web site for gate opening times (0930) and ticket costs. Purchase an adult ticket in advance for £10.00 plus a handling charge of £2.50, get it at the gate £12.00!!!!!!! Are these the same people who run the supermarket's discounts?????????????? lol Rod

I went to Eastbourne yesterday A super day Rod

It's the same Spiffy. Rod

Steve I will bring a Futaba t10 to the show for you to use. Rod

I've a tank that sort of size you can have, I will bring it to Hever for you as I am unlikely to see prior. Rod

Hi Arun Emay and I are using the Frsky Taranis, this uses open source for the software, I think this is what Dave is now using. T9 Hobby sport are the main suppliers but also available from Giantshark. You can download a free Tx simulator (called companion 9X) to enable PC set up, this is super, then just burn to the Tx eeprom. The price of about £140 quid is very good for this much Tx. There is a range of Rx from 4 Ch to 8 Ch all with telemetry, you can also link Rx together. Google Frsky Taranis and have a look. See you soon Rod

The following links can be helpful if you need to know when the the airsoft or clay shooting folks will be using our field: When the Gun Club is shooting (the third Sunday each Month) flying is not allowed until after 1400hrs. When Airsoft are shooting (some Saturdays each Month) then flying is restricted to experienced pilots only as over flying people is prohibited.

A collection was held at the show for Harry and the Club made a donation, I hope the money collected will help. Rod

Hi Neil I am a little suprised at your comments as last weekend you came to the field and I was using the club trainer,until it crashed, to give trainees flights. Trevor and I (subject to weather) both normaly bring club trainers to the field on Sundays, last weekend Trevor had a garage loan car so could not get the trainer in, and are happy to talk to you and give you some stick time. Remember the last Sunday each month we don't fly till after 1400. Hope to see you next Sunday and take it from there. Rod

I had two one 57 and and one 46. As long as you use 5% nitro they were fine. The 57 I sold to Les who is still using it. Remember 5% not 10% nitro Rod

Is the Nitro too high at 15%? With both my J'en engines it was not possible to get a good tickover on 10%, the instructions said 5% and 5% was needed, as soon as I put the correct mixture in they both ran fine. It seems you can get preignition with a higher nitro content. Just a thought Rod

Hi Shane The best thing is to bring the plane with engine installed to the field and we would be happy to show you. When you have it running you will soon get it. If the weather is ok perhaps tomorrow Rod

If that's no good you could consider a bendy pipe. Rod

Hi Shane The reason we covered receivers in foam was to help stop vibration, this was a problem with the 35mg gear, 2.4 does not have this problem and needs air to help cooling, I never ever cover 2.4 Rx with foam just velcro them to the fuz side. See you soon Regards Rod

Hi glad to see you back, hope you will be at the field soon Rod

Thanks Jim and all the very best to you and yours for the new year, this goes for every one else at the Club as well Arun do you use one or two hands when juggling?? Happy Christmas all Rod Ba Humbug

The World has ended, you'r on your own Rod

Lots of second hand radio gear for sale on the BMFA adds most looks good. Rod
