Saying your piece is fine, It's feedback, so is complimentary feedback. 😉

Enyas had a swivel plate there.

Be different you'll get called out as thick or missing out, par for the course in todays world. Pocket full of cash or cards, stop over egging the pudding, a wallet is a lot less intrusive than a smartphone, some so big they can't fit a pocket. 69 years old, I can use a smartphone but I don't want one, internet I have I'm using it now, I can shop without a device, my memory is good, 69 years taught me to cope with what is a simple task. I'm not thick nor in need of insulting others who own a smartphone. My small flip top 3G phone has a camera and a calculator so those "needs" are met, should work mean I "needed" a smartphone, I would have one. Plane overhead, I don't care It's trivia, Alexa, I can switch a light on, heating has a timer, my music centre sounds better, "What three words" No Thank You. Linkedin, messages to Email on a regular basis and no smartphone. I "need" The wife + kids (They all have a smartphone and apps), books, music, my dog, a reliable car, being connected to the hive 24-7 I don't need, YMMV.

Yes Jons rig up for running engines on, on page 1 of thread in a video.

It will, and as said by others, your club expert is the one who flys I.C trouble free, not always the one who talks a lot, eyes n ears. 😉

If you're happy with your phone, I'm happy for you, just my luddite ways. 😉

No, but maths can.

I'm with others Toto, best tool is your ears and eyes when the models flying.

Good move Toto, prop balancer will be very handy, even though they're pretty good nowadays, sometimes they need a slight rub to remove burrs along the edge as well, have fun.

If I need a spirit level, I've numerous sizes fit for purpose, same with knocking nails in, smart phone or hammer ? I have a knife with a hoof obstruction removing tool, still saving for the Horse. "Be prepared". 😉

I'm on Linkedin, no smart phone needed. An online precence is a guarantee of nothing, plenty rogues out there and plenty fake reviews. Curious world, on one hand It's No they're an intrusion and stripping away my rights, to information gathering things, on the other, they're a boon to mankind and we need them.

Anyone got a couple of Paracetamol ? 😉

Wrap up warm, go enjoy yourself. Try keeping your lipos from getting too chilled before using them as well.

Would think it'll just knock edge of battery power, nowt else.

Graupners were a better bet than a MA, both long since bettered by APC, bit daft to put a nice powerplant upfront then stick a rubbish prop on.

My advice is simple, rig yourself something similar to Jon Harpers set up and get your hands dirty and learn. There's no great mystery to using I.C regardless of some stuff you read.

My 9X has a FRSKY module in, plenty RXs available and at good prices, been faultless, still a great set to use and wouldn't part with it.

Humour Peter.

Still not for me I think, cameras I have, apps I don't want, aids to shopping, I'll take the nice lady/gent on the till and help keep them in a job. If I'm out flying/fishing/working I don't want pestering, check on the weather, look out the window, emergency, they ring me on mycheap pay n go. Next thing you know they be roping us into tech just to go fly models. 😉

I own no smart phone, I don't struggle. Bemuses me why folk "need" em.

Cracking pictures Andy. 👍

I accepted Cookies to view Ace, so no not just you, nothing new to tell you since Davids last update.

Some reading here as well. https://bmfa.org/category/regulatory-matters

Been reading these threads for years, I honestly haven't a clue what some are saying or what points being made ? "It's a done deal, the powers that be decided long ago" "Politicians and money aren't to be trusted" "We must oppose by all means available" somewhat confusing is that. For me, worlds moved on, tech brought many benefits and some down side, this time it's us at the sharp end. Options ? Stick together, get best outcome we can, then deal with it.

Get some Skeetex boots bought, sorted.
