Wise words, Ron. 😉😉

Me too, no rush.

Success!! Thanks, Phillip, once I had the files in the correct folder it worked a treat. Thanks again.

Still no luck, chaps. Phillip, bearing in mind that I am an old bloke with limited computer skills and I'm using an iMac, could you please talk me through your post from yesterday in words of one syllable. I have, on the sd card, an en folder in which is a system folder containing the .wav files. I am not at all sure what the root audio folder is. Do I need to put the .wav files directly into the en folder, not within the system folder? Sorry to be a pain and I really appreciate your help. David

Ron has just stated my view exactly. David

Sorry, chaps, still struggling. The audio files ( .wav) were downloaded from the Amber sound suite onto the SD card, on which there are four folders, audio, bitmaps, models and scripts plus a couple of documents. At the TX, from "System" and clicking "File Manager" and selecting "audio' opens up 10 language options and opening "en" gives a sounds folder and a system folder. Both folders contain the .wav files and clicking these files plays them correctly. I then ,on the Tx, select "Model" then "Special Functions" from the second page of the "Model" menu. Here I am selecting , an action - Play Track, a state - Enable, an Active Condition - my chosen switch position, and then I select file. Here I get an unpopulated dialogue box "Wav file" which just contains 3 dashes and won't allow me to open it. HEEEEELP TIA David

GBG, I'm on 1.4.17EU. I'll try the link you suggest. Thanks.

This is not an April Fool!! Gents, does anyone have some expertise with Ethos? I've been an ardent fan of my Horus X10 using the FrOs operating system for years. A couple of years ago I treated myself to an X20 but could not get my head around Ethos. However, with the rubbish flying weather we have been suffering, I decided the time had come to get the new radio up and running. I have sorted most things but am struggling with getting voice alerts when a switch is moved. I have downloaded all the sound files to the SD card and they all show and play in File Manager - SD:/audio/en/sounds. If I then go to Model - Special Functions I can assign the switch, select Play Track, Enable and Condition (switch position) but when I select File the Wav file dialog box is not populated. I have fiddled with every option but cannot get the flipping thing to let me add voice alerts and frustration is setting in. Can anyone point out the error of my ways? Thanks in advance, David

I would love a P47 but it would have to be a bubble canopy for me. I have thrown my hat into the ring for a Tempest and I would also go for a Sea Fury, all Allied subjects, I know. A "low fat" version without u/c, flaps, etc, would keep the weight and build time down.

I had the same problem earlier but working ok now.

I really think Hobbyking is missing a trick here. I have a silver/yellow one that is donkey's years old, well and truly battered and glued back together after much abuse, but it still flys a treat and is one of my favourite models. If they became available again I would buy one in a trice.

Me too.

Mmmmm, can’t wait……

Hi, Richard, Will the delta version be included on the plan. That really appeals to me. David

Stop it. Everyone knows we need a mosquito!!

I was told (can’t remember who) that a Ford Sierra had more computer power than the Apollo space craft!!

I’m still struggling to get rid of this. Have tried rejecting and saving preferences but it still comes back every time I log onto the site. What am I doing wrong?

Am I going to need to “reject all” every time I use the website from now on or is work happening in the background to get rid of the stupid bleep bleep thing.

You wouldn’t understand, Tim, a mere callow youth. Old people get very upset if their routine is interfered with.

PS. After a couple of years of getting involved in electric flight I adopted a more disciplined regime for the use of my lips, i.e. dropping to storage voltage if not used in a particular flying session and they now last and perform much better.

I do as Frank does. Connect with a wattmeter in series and run at about half throttle down to about 3.8 volts, which will recover slightly when off load. Obvious safety precautions apply

I’m not sure you’re right there, leccy. Twins had a fearsome reputation in the olden days (pre electric!!!) but now I think they are a definite possibility. For me it would have to be an allied aircraft, I don’t do the evil axis, and a mossie is definitely at the top of the list. A Beaufighter, short nose, would be good and some of the American twins are good looking aeroplanes. Please everyone send subliminal messages to Richard that Armageddon will arrive if he doesn’t do a mossie and it will be all his fault!!! David

Beat me to it, Ron. Mossie is right up there on my wish list and (flattery will get you everywhere) if Richard does it you know it will fly right and look right. Go on, Mr Wills, you know you want to!!

Mmmmmmmmm, yes please 😉😉😉
