Charles Pic

RIP Chris McG

Crumbs! That’s no doubt the first and last time I’ll lead the league this year. I’m not loving the Saturday races, felt like such an anticlimax waking today and realising there’s no GP to look forward to.

Congrats Tony Stones, Iqon, Chris McG and indeed all the top ten league finishers, as that’s an achievement I didn’t quite manage 🙈 Big thanks to John P for the diligent administration and reporting of results again. Your effort adds a bit of fun to all our F1 weekends 👍 Next year my team will begin with Norris in it, as the upwards trajectory through this year means he’s sure to win the championship. Before you go and place too much at the bookies based on that hot tip remember what I said about my finishing outside the top ten, maybe I’m not the best at making predictions 😂 See you all next year!

Fun to have a close competition for the top spots in our league. Well done to those who scored well. 👍

Get your predictions done tonight chaps, because quali will be on you tomorrow before the steaming coffee dissolves the overnight tears from your eyes… Looking like another Verstappen walkover to me, I wonder how soon he can clinch the championship?

Oh my word! A new low has been plumbed… my team were actually looking good until that rain came along. Oh well. On the Monza - best race to visit in person, by far. If you have to pick just one, go there 👍

Haha, ok! Good luck to your team… mine has not been working any miracles so far this season 🙈

Thanks Duncan! Seems they are still in the market, although their current 50CC size appear to all be 90” rather than 88”. £800-£900 guide price for new seems steep to me, but I’m well out of date. I will pick a price quite a lot lower than that and get it listed once I can get photos taken. 👍

I’m quite optimistic for this race… all three of my nominated drivers are starting in the top six on the grid, so if that doesn’t turn into a good result I may as well give up 😝☺️

Hi! I have a completely unstarted ARTF airframe kit which has been gathering dust but now I need to accept I’m never going to get around to it and move it on. I’m not seeking to sell it via this thread, I realise there is a “for sale” forum for that purpose, but my issue actually is I have no clue what might be a fair price? Can anyone offer me advice please? The model is a Pilot RC 88” Extra 330, some pictures attached which I saved from the original listing. I have had it 6 or 7 years and cannot say it is unopened as I did open the box to check contents, but it has never been unpacked or anything taken from the plastic bags and is complete with landing gear and instructions. Googling around I don’t find anyone selling PilotRC any more, did they go bust? They used to be everywhere! The few listings I did find for new kits were EU based sellers charging €850 which seems high. I don’t remember how much I paid, but it wouldn’t have been that much or I wouldn’t have bought it. I do remember I bought it because I thought it was a great colour scheme! 😃 So… anyone know what secondhand but still basically new kits of this size change hands for? Thank you very much for any tips.

😩😫😱🥺😭 …and that’s all I have to say about that 😜

Thanks guys, I will give it a try and report back 👍

Hi @EvilC57did you find a good answer to your original question? I have just dusted off my cellog 8S, which is a wonderful little unit for the modest price - shame they’re not sold anymore. What I haven’t succeeded in doing is finding software which will run on my windows10 laptop which will read and display the log files. Maybe you have a good solution? Edit: did you try the cellog.zip program Alan linked to above?

Crikey, that’s a surprise! I got lucky with my predictions, although to be fair I hadn’t picked Zhou for fastest lap - must be something wrong with me because it was obvious, no? 😜 I wonder what odds the bookmakers were offering on that one. And what of the season prospects now? I do hope it’s not going to turn into a Verstappen bore-fest with the championship wrapped up soon after the summer break. Even with a strong start, can Aston Martin match Red Bull’s development rate and mount a challenge? Doesn’t seem likely to me, but it’s only race 1 so perhaps the competitive order will soon look a little different as often happens at the beginning of a season.

That’s the last time I’ll be as high as 4th! 😆
