Yes modern cars that have BMS system can be a problem, the engineers decided to save load on the engine from the Alternator they would reduce the charge on a new battery. But as the battery ages it would ramp up depending a complex set of condition. But if a new battery is fitted and you do not reset the BMS system it can overcharge a new battery, because it does not know you have fitted a new battery. Some of the German cars have coding on new batteries and the BMS/ ECU must be told the necessary parameter. Bottom line on some cars fitting a new battery and not have the car coded to suit can damage the new battery.

Having lived with a farmer (my father) for 25 years , the reason they can be so variable is the weather, price of produce etc. , and often working on there own a lot. Glad I went into engineering , it took the Weather element out the equation. Don't forget suicide in the farming community is high, in the circle of my fathers contacts two committed suicide. When they want to talk, spend time listening and express sympathy, is the best policy.

We got snow one year on one of the MAP holidays at Primrose Valley in May, we spent a lot of time watching RC cars Carpet racing in the Ballroom. There used to be a load come from London Thames Mead club I think, we had two power sites.

I fly at a busy site and I get up to 100 frame loses and sometimes low %R values, I flew same model on my own at a different site more rural only got at most 2 frame losses and better %R value throughout 5 flights.

The gear channel on Spektrum is used to alter the safe modes Gear at 100% should be stability. 150% is full Safe, read the manual and look at channel monitor to see what you are doing.

That's the guy we need there when you have a heart attack then.😇🤣

Have managed to delete the (Unusable model ) Toto ??? if not be careful about importing other models

Your firmware is well out of date, dont try wfi, down load directly to pc, it will appear in downloads folder. Make sure file is called SPMTX.SAX , if it has a number in bracket use rename it. Copy to your micro sd file with only that file on it with transmitter off. Then switch on an wait be patient it takes a while. Current firmware is 3.12A

Delete the unusable model, then run model validate all models in Model Utilities, this is important. If any other models memory are shown as damaged delete them also.

Ron are you going to cover your model with Brown Paper, and if so are you going to show us on a Ytube video ??

Very impressed by your work in what looked like a very cold workshop, enjoying watching the build.

That new Kev makes my flying look bad.🤣 I will have to trap his fingers in van door or something when I come over.

I was flying indoors yesterday with lots of people, to say people hate helicopters on the outdoor sites, there were load of mini helicopters drones and FPV all flying together and getting on fine.🤣

So the ones made in China that will be CE marked, with nobody checking that they are actually complying with European standards. (CE) = China Export

To be fair in Winter the angle of the sun has a large effect on the visibility of any model, to me its a lot harder to see the model.
