  1. Game flew by for me, ref was good, game played with very few tmo stoppages, England never froze when pressure came on. Happy Englishman.
  2. You ever spent time inside a Whale Toto ?
  3. Tinternet been down, so be last after the race. 🏁
  4. Practice told nothing really, if owt it confused you.
  5. 15 in now. 👍 Hope it's more of a contest on the track this year, even though I'm a Max/Honda fan, that should ensure a competetive league. Good luck all, and you Igor. 😉
  6. Yep, and some digis in smaller sizes are very reasonable prices, science and modelling moved on massively over the years, as we're all witness to. Would I rubbish analogue servos, no, I still use them and digis.
  7. I find this often had discussion confusing. A servos a link in the chain, as is the gap between hinge lines, slop free linkages, building light/straight, having a reliable engine that throttles well, it's part of the package. If you stall an anologue servo it's bad news, extra current used is easily managed, they're Red Herrings, old wives tales. Can I tell if I upgrade a link in the chain ? Of course I can, and I very much think most of you could. Do you need them ? Entirely up to you to decide that one. Negatives ? They cost more.
  8. Changed my team Already, be scoring fewer this year methinks.
  9. I couldn't think of any situation where I'd charge to teach someone, other than it was a business venture I'd set up. Use my model, at worse you'd provide the fuel. Taking money whilst using a scheme set up, and paid for by the BMFA membership seems questionable at the very least, maybe I'm misunderstanding what's been said ?
  10. Getting Arthritis in your hands could change that view.
  11. Depressing. England deviod of an identity, unable to join up different aspects of the game, no play makers, no belief, can't pass, nor keep hold of it, everytime somethings looking good they screw it up.
  12. Could be chaotic at Murrayfield, get blitz wrong Scots will munch us.
  13. Ireland defence is excellent, very few handling errors and Aki is something special, thought Wales put a great shift in though.
  14. Both the Kavan and the JE starter are good buys, apart from price the only thing to consider is the switch, one is thumb operated the other is via the finger grip.
  15. Underneath, where your fingers grip, a nice slim starter.
  16. On price yes, I have one of these, very good. https://www.justengines.co.uk/shop/accessories/starting-gear/jen-geared-starter/?v=79cba1185463
  17. Some balsa kits here Hooch. https://www.rapidrcmodels.com/balsa-kits-to-build-273-c.asp
  18. I would be happy to cast a vote Ron. I like both choices, but the Rascal wins for me, it'll be a complete build vlog built the way I like building myself, plus it's a very pretty model. Rascal.
  19. Hi Hooch, starting out in model building/flying can be bewildering, what to buy, what to build, and it's very easy to spend money on unsuitable stuff. Best advice I could give you is to go visit a local club a few times, and see stuff in it's element and speak to people face to face. To start the journey you need something stable/docile, there are ARTF trainers out there and plans to build one as well. Arising Star is one. https://www.horizonhobby.com/on/demandware.static/Sites-horizon-us-Site/Sites-horizon-master/default/Manuals/SEA1000_manual.pdf Plans you can find here. https://www.sarikhobbies.com/product-category/model-aircraft-builder/model-aircraft-plans/rc-model-aircraft-plans/
  20. Well I've picked a team out, that was a challenge in itself. 🥴
