Could have been worse, he might have found the bin liners, gone to a till and said "can I pay you for seks?".

Frequent handstands. Thank god it wasn't front view.

But you do get fringe benefits.

Presumably you buy a toupee from a locks-smith?

It's either a problem with the battery or a parasitic drain on the Tx. Can you swap batteries between the DX6 and DX8 to determine where the problem lies?

Must be difficult to steer.

You could always see if a Spektrum service centre would replace the outer case. One thing to think about is that if your current DX9 has an SD card slot it makes it so much easier to set up the models on a new Spektrum Transmitter.

The "blister" style servo covers look nice, where did you get those from?

To connect the Tx to the computer you need a USB dongle like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/403145328219?chn=ps&_ul=GB&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&amdata=enc%3A1QItok7gcRge7JohypBab0w26&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-134428-41853-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=403145328219&targetid=1647205089520&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9046449&poi=&campaignid=17206177401&mkgroupid=136851690655&rlsatarget=pla-1647205089520&abcId=9300866&merchantid=419708514&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAw6yuBhDrARIsACf94RUeHMDx2qt2tV7W2JCFk87u4tZLmayeWapAMjNdLw5V7u-H9KWmvHoaAiT7EALw_wcB The dongle is connected to the Tx using a lead with a 3.5mm jack plug, the other end plugs into the trainer socket of the Tx (various types of socket are used by different manufacturers, it may be a 3.5mm jack socket, it may not). If your Tx doesn't have a trainer socket you're out of luck unless you can find a wireless dongle that uses the same communication protocol as the transmitter.

All praise to Wheelspin models. I ordered a couple of spare props and a prop drive shaft for my Night Vapor at 4:30 PM on Friday, immediate acknowledgement of order, 5:30 PM an email saying order dispatched and parcel received at 1:30 PM Saturday.

It doesn't quote the figures as fires per 100,000 vehicles or fires per 100,000 miles driven (I chose 100,000 as an example, any number will do). The figures quoted are therefore ambiguous at best and no meaningful comparison can be made. The problem isn't just the number of vehicles catching fire, its the difficulty in extinguishing the fire when it does happen. Firefighters have years of experience of tackling petrol fires(and the equipment to do so) but very little experience in coping with lithium battery fires.

The daughter of a friend of my wife purchased an electric Ford a couple of weeks ago. A few days after she bought it her next door neighbour phoned her to say "the bonnet of your car is smoking" as she left the house there was a loud bang and the bonnet flew up followed by the car bursting into flames. It took the fire brigade 3 hours to extinguish the fire.

Running the numbers through propCalc shows very little difference between fixed and folding blade props so a 12x6 folding Graupner or Aeronaut prop would be a good place to start.

Was the point where the exhaust duct bifurcated referred to as "the flies".

A look that only J.R.Hartley could love.

The Bigfoot looks a reasonable model to learn on but, as JD8 said, join a club and get advice and assistance.

Completely agree, the point was that context is important. I was commenting on the Ofcom publication.

Gosh chaps, if I read that correctly I can never tell anyone that I "grabbed my tranny" or "had to drop the flaps for a close approach"!

Assuming a 2s battery, given the weight something like this should be perfectly adequate. https://www.4-max.co.uk/ppom-2321.htm

Regarding the lipo, is it 2s?

Perhaps it would be useful if the moderators could post an exhaustive list of unacceptable words............ Oh, hold on 😉

Alternatively a small direct drive motor should do the job, what is the weight of the model and what size prop do you want to use?
