  1. Promised the wife I was just going to give my workshop a major spring "tidy up/upgrade" 🀫 1st or 2nd batch - no rush.
  2. Not actually tried it on needles as fuel tube has been sufficient however - I do use a length between the cylinder and exhaust on up to .53 2* (just wide enough). This seals brilliantly and doesn't slacken off due to compression being so thin and also appears to be fuel tolerant. I believe it comes in two thickness 1) thinner for water 2) thicker for gas. I use the thicker one on exhausts but probably a bit thick for the fine needle thread - try the thinner one. Remember to wrap it so it tightens when screwed in πŸ˜‰ Could also work on loose 4* exhaust?
  3. Very impressive πŸ‘ Explains how you can spread out so much building such a wonderful aircraft.
  4. 1st choice - a Mossie, dolly launch, belly land, single 4s battery or 2 x 3s 2.2 and ok without flaps, KISS. 2nd choice - P47 Razorback. 3rd choice - Zero or KI84
  5. Razorback πŸ‘ Why the question? has a decision been made on the next project? Still fancy a Mosquito although I accept it would be more complicated and expensive so possibly less appealing but come on who doesn't love it and aspire to owning/flying one πŸ™

    DX8 v NX8 ?

    My DX9 (last one with DSM2) faultless. New shinny TX's are not always and improvement as some of my trainees with NX's I struggle to read their screens on bright days. Smaller font and red compared to my larger font LCD. If it isn't broken or more capable then sometimes it is just nice to have a new toy if you want one. πŸ˜‰
  7. That's a really tough roll of the dice but 🀞 for a full and speedy recovery.
  8. His wit and wisdom will be missed - keep your wheels down and shinny side up.
  9. +1 for John Norris, very knowledgeable and helpfull.
  10. Root729 on ebay has been my go to for years - no connection just very satisfied.

    Electric Cars.

    @Paul De Tourtoulon Correction 62miles - from What Car magazine: "Perhaps the most interesting engine option of all, though, is the plug-in hybrid. This combines the 1.5-litre petrol unit with an electric motor for a total output of 201bhp. But, more importantly, its battery is twice the size of its predecessors, so officially allows you to travel up to 62 miles on electric power." It will also accept 50kW charging so 10-80% in 25 mins. No connection with Skoda just looking for an alternative to my superb 😁 Mondeo est.

    Electric Cars.

    Out of curiosity anyone know the percentage of company car driver to private buyers of the 1mil BEV owners? My gut feeling is that the huge tax reduction in BIK played a big part. Lost revenue from BIK, Vat & Fuel duty has to be recouped from somewhere as current levels are not sustainable. Like Martin Dance a PHEV is high on my list, something with a reasonable electric only range - the new Skoda Superb est later this year with a 68 mile range would cover 90% of my local driving.
  13. I found a balance that worked for me. Accepted essential and functional only - rejected others - now video's play, no pop up reminder which just leaves the small blue circle in bottom left which I can live with.
  14. As an alternative to DM Rocket Powder used by Ron to support the servo blocks, you can use ordinary Bicarbonate of Soda (supermarket cooking isle <Β£1) for the same result.
  15. I believe there may be a development regarding this very issue of additional info only available through QR codes in the next months RCM&E. Like Kc a phone is just a phone/text for me so all my forums are PC based and if we are honest the pictures look much better/clearer on a large screen. However I have some sympathy for the mag editor as space must be at a premium so numerous extra pages of build photos is not an option. So yes it would be nice to be able to access those additional plan build photos/info via the PC.
  16. We eventually gave up on ours when a local mower specialist was looking for a gearbox to keep one of the golf clubs machines going. A swop/deal was done for a ride on with just 35 hrs use. What manuals we had are a page or so back but don't know if they contain the information! Good luck 🀞
  17. I have again been told its all working 🀞 So tried it out to watch Ron's videos. Firstly I can now see them againπŸ‘ Reject all - nothing Necessary - nothing Necessary + functional only - plays And obviously post reply now works. Happy bunny πŸ‡πŸ‡πŸ‡
  18. Been told the cookie issue has been sorted - errrm I think not as now: Videos are not displayed now nor is the banner accepting cookies- blank space If you check reject all or necessary/functional still no video appears. Only accept all will the video appear and then play. Then when I came to post a reply I could not until I accepted all - now changed back to necessary/functional 😭 Mods can you please flag it to IT
  19. @Outrunner some whole clips embedded play but those linked to YT still don't for me here in Yorkshire. I think that's why some do and majority don't so still can't watch Ron's FW190 build without accepting all. "True" They obviously know a great deal but certainly not as much as if I didn't try and restrict what I give away so someone else can monetize my data.
  20. Andy S, I have nothing against some cookies as they can be beneficial in improving browsing, what I do object too and apparently the law agrees is the mining of non functional data against my wishes. Changing browser or installing an ad blocker are last resort options. I see installing them as an own goal for Mortons if they fail to rectify the issue promptly, as that would mean all their banner advertising top/bottom would be rendered useless and they would still have no data. It's not just Ron's but Steve Colman's last one is also a non player. Mod's is it just me or are Mortons fixing this or not bothering ?
  21. No that doesn't work for me trying to watch Ron's video's. Reject all - refresh - still please accept cookies Essential only- Save my preferences- refresh - still please accept cookies Accept all - plays Back to reject or essential - still please accept cookies. Now forcing someone to accept all the marketing/tracking etc. I am pretty sure is illegal, very annoying and I refuse to be bullied. If it's just me then how do I fix it - win 11/chrome. If not come on 🀞
  22. @David Ashby - Moderator, I have only clicked essential which is a legal option then they should play - having to accept full house marketing, tracking etc. is surely not right? I can't watch them on here but if I go to Ron's YT channel they play without any pop up request or further action ?
  23. As RR I still can't watch Ron's embedded videos πŸ˜₯
  24. For me its Ron's videos that still won't play having tried reject all and only essential. No way am I accepting all as is my right and should not be penalized if that's the case.
