Hey, fast.................. Section appears, but even logged in as member I get "You do not have the required permissions to read topics within this forum."

Good. At some point can we please have a Multirotor section (there are more than 10 active members with them)

I might go tomorrow, forecast is good for 20-25mph sunny and SW. Any damage? Tree down in my road is almost blocking it, and that ripped out a few telephone wires, and took the attaching point barge boards off a couple of the houses further up the slope before the wires sheared. My conservatory roof leaked a bit at the apex through flexure and one fence post has sheared but the panels and shrubs backing against it held it.

Following Ben's post about checking servo extension leads, here's something else for you to worry about. The red coloured JST RCY plug/socket type is widely used for LiPo batteries. You may well have some cell packs with them on, they are everywhere. It suffers the same potential issues as a servo lead/plug, in that the pin is small and long, so alignment is critical. For this reason the pins "float" a lot in their red plastic body. Usually packs up to 3S 1000mAh ish have this type, going to Deans or EC or XT above that, but recently I have seen it being used for high "C" ra

I have the Haynes manual......................

By "work a treat" you presumably mean they connect, assuming you have not destruction tested them already!! A word of caution here. Many connector types are designed to have some compliance both for proper alignment along the full pin length and retaining the correct pressure between contact halves over time and changes of temperature. There is even the matter of ventilation for as rapid as possible drying out. The apparantly simple (crude even) tag location system allows this to occur, but by hot gluing the cable exits you are limiting all that. So if you do it keep it to t

Not our local area at all, but you might be travelling or visiting then with slope etc in mind, and the aircraft will have to transition to and from bases in Europe, so for info:- http://www.flyer.co.uk/pilots-wargames-over-uk-skies-in-april/

BUT, be aware that some of the discounted sales do not have the fully authorised dongle lead, and while these will run the SIm, recently ways have been found to recognise and bar clones while attempting to get online. That "bargain" might not be....................................

All kits listed have left me and moved on to a new owner as of this morning, so I now have a few less unwanted things to get back into my garage, which I need to get on with asap so I can move around the house without bumping shins. Thanks for interest, but not fast enough! BTW, the new owner is a Brit but lives in Belgium!!

I can ill afford the time, esp this week trying to recover the house from the gas mains in the road being replaced, which meant ALL the contents of my garage being all over the house, so I won't be at the club meeting. My place is however not that far from the meeting location, come on way or before. If you want them, come, or someone else will, or they will be burned. I am not going to put them back into the garage for more years unproductive "storage", I will never use them, so enough is enough!! I'm not asking for ANY money, I do want them gone asap with least effo

I am de-cluttering and I have the following kits I was given that I will never ever get to build:- Dumas "The Sioux" Wee Nip (Traplet Set 2966) Veron Cardinal Micromodels "The 1941 Request" Ben Buckle "Pirate 34" KK Senator BMJR "Simplex 45" HVP "Quick 1" North Coast Rocketry "Stilleto B" LightFlite "Bug" All in original packing, but cannot be guaranteed complete (though I believe they are). Can be collected Bromley, Kent (SE London) Advertised elsewhere. Collection only, NO Postage. Will be destroyed on 31/3/16 if not taken b

Well, not racing but practice on course running, If there's three of us one can spot while two fly.

My 250 is a Diatone Hurricane. That makes three of us with 250's AFAIK, I have made a couple of hoops and bought an HK one......... What video frequency do you normally use? Need to arrange a session!!

Nighthawk as in EMax Nighthawk Pro 280 Race Quad?

Have to go to L.A. (That's LittlehAmpton, not Los Angeles!!) 14ish current, 20-25 SW this afternoon though. All Best.................

The Dutch Police were surely on Wacky Baccy, so what is the Met's excuse. The RSPCA/RSPB need to take an interest. It's one thing doing a trial where the Drone Pilot helpfully cuts power to allow the Eagle to grab. But, as I posted elsewhere weeks ago when the story first broke............. For Sale, Eagle, no feet.

And then again.......................... http://nypost.com/2016/02/05/man-crashes-drone-into-the-empire-state-building/

Actually it has on the face of it little to do with the Government or the CAA, since we are (at least currently ) in Europe, it will be the EASA, and heaven only know what they will come up with, if they "do" an Ireland or New Zealand, goodbye to a lot of model flying, at least "legally". Interesting that in the USA, where registration is notionally in place but challenged, firms are springing up to allow people to "self drive hire" DJI Phantoms, etc, so if you were not concerned enough at the standard of joe public buying one and behaving stupidly, pretty much ANYONE can be a problem

Set 14mph blowing down the runway on flying field, nothing else, no gusts, no turbulence, then select "The Beast", which as you know is a big quite heavy plane................and when you turn it into wind it'll get blown away, accelerating backwards to immense speed. Keeping the engine running enough to prevent roll back will take more than a third throttle, throttle up and the plane will take off with no roll forward at all It really is a sad travesty of the excellent program it once was.

Well I have loaded 5.5k Beta, and they are right, lift is back..................................but..................... Std Aerobatic Slope Soarer, Countryside Hill, default field weather, launch 45 degrees port to wind. And then do nothing.............. Plane settles itself unaided into a starboard turn at launch speed, and goes round, and round, and round, and round. Eventually still Tx untouched it dies away enough to crash into the hill knoll left of slope, auto re-launches and off it goes again, circuiting the front side with undiminished speed no matter where its facing

Well, this is their (quite rapid!) reply, in its entirety .................................... Hi Dave Thank you for your feedback, we will certainly pass this on to our flight team. Regarding slope lift, there is still an issue with this feature, but if you install the “5.5.k†BETA attached to this email then you should see slope-soaring lift once more. Best Regards Phoenix Support So, now you know, or don't......................... I'll try and check out the Beta later tonight.

........................why on earth after saying I'd do some slope and other Phoenix sessions for Club Members nothing has happened here............. Copy of most recent mail to Phoenix "Support":- Dear Phoenix, You used to be so good, what happened? Now EVERY update sets the program backwards. 5.5j update states “Fixed an issue with "Use Field Weather" option on slope-soaring sites†Well, the previous update didn’t have any slope issues I had noticed, but THIS ONE DOES!! Slope Soaring is totally broken. Gliders have ridiculously l

It's total and utter rubbish isn't it!! The very recent "sighting" of a drone in a close miss by an airliner at 4500 ft that "had just taken off" is another example of the carp being put about. "Thought it was a bird, but then saw the propellers" is another, reported by an airliner "overflying the Houses of Parliament" approaching City Airport. City has an approach glide slope twice the usual, so it was not exactly low at that point, and the cockpit workload would have been very high at that time. I have sat in the pilots seat of a Concorde (BA, while the type was sti

OK, OK, which quad pilot tried to deflect attention then? .................... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/travel_news/article-3428154/Aircraft-carrying-200-passengers-near-miss-rocket-fizzy-drinks-bottles.html
