Hi and welcome. Do as suggested above.

Nothing at the mo. 1 it is raining and 2 managed to pull a muscle in my back.

Even got a colour co-ordinated brolly for the bike.

Not used that. But had reasonable results by using a DVD recorder. Transfer VHS to DVD. Then from DVD into computer if required..

A Chinese phone . Does it last a month before dissolving into a pile of dust.

No. If the float in the carb has stuck open petrol will overflow from it. It could do as bender suggested by finding its way into the sump. Or it may have gone into the air filter area and evaporated.

It’s not all down to big CC/BHP. A lot depends on the relationship of torque/revs and BHP/revs. My 1250 develops a lot of torque at relatively low revs and max BHP at 9000 revs. I have no problems with low speed town driving. In fact 6th gear will go down to 35ish. My 1300cc 147bhp bike only has 5 gears and in 5th I can ride at 30mph all the way to 155 if I wanted to! I can happily potter about on it at 20mph all day long if I wanted to and the bike would be as smooth as silk Likewise except 6 gears.

This is very true, you should do the speed that is safe for the conditions. At the same time it’s very hard to keep some bikes at lower limits, it’s possible to do but they absolutely hate it, my bike can’t stand town riding, it protests by running extremely hot and being jerky, if you’re going through a town centre at 20 MPH you have to pull the clutch in and coast it/slip it a bit because it wants to stall, which is probably the reason I don’t use it for commuting, driving a car,even with the traffic is more enjoyable. In all essence you are using the wrong bike for town centre riding, big CC/BHP and slow don't really mix It’s not all down to big CC/BHP.

The problem is the excessive toe in on the front wheels.

There is an RC flying field in Warwick by the race course. Been there forever. Developers built houses nearby a few years ago. Residents then complained and have got the allowed flying time reduced and if a restriction on IC planes.

[mention]XTreme[/mention] with the state of some of those roads it looks like you have been using my SatNav.

Yes. If your missus finds out how much your new transmitter cost your health is going to be seriously compromised. Otherwise, in terms of the output from transmitters, they are so small you'd never have any issues. Only when you loose the signal and the aeroplane lands on your head. Seriously as [mention]Mississippi Bullfrog[/mention] said no orbs. Modern transmitters use 2.4Ghz which is used on virtually everything these days from garage door openers to cordless phones. MB there are some really good low cost sets available now. Not sure if the range is good enough for aircraft though.

Regardless of which tools are used most, you need a tidy garage to work in.

When I was flying gliders I had a BMFA membership for insurance purposes and in their booklet they used to recommend obtaining FAI licences for comet ion flying and flying abroad. Some clubs also insist on you obtain a club licence. All model aircraft over 20Kg require CAA certification

[mention]XTreme[/mention] Been doing RC stuff since the early 70’s. Raced 10th scale electric cars. Run 8th scale nitro powered cars. Flown Gliders (not very well) and helicopters (even worse). Now back into boats, the scale one above and 2 speed boats which I race. Can’t get away from the need for a speed fix. Went to a model show and there were loads of train layouts, several from Germany, and the amount of detail was fantastic. And you are correct, these days there is a lot of electronics and computers involved in running the train systems.

Is that a split?

I assume this is easily detached if you leave the bike in a carpark? From a lot of the replies I'm feeling more inclined to go for one that is bike attached rather than helmet attached, plus this one seems a reasonable price as opposed to some I've seen. Very little evidence that supports an increased risk from helmet mounted cam, main plus on a helmet cam is it points where your looking, so gets better view of what's around you. True. Helmet mount allows you to point the camera but watching some videos I feel sea sick as the picture is weaving all over the place. [mention]XTreme[/mention] shows how it should be done though as he tends to look where he is going.

To be honest, now, I never bother to remove it. I used to but not now.

Disappointed that the Fire boat doesn’t spray water!! It will come. It is being renovated after nearly 40 years in the shed. On an outing in the 1980’s (radio gear was prone to interference from CB radio then) it crashed into a mooring and the functioning fire monitor broke off. Now the hull and superstructure has had some TLC, mast and lights fixed, working fire monitors are on order. The water intake and tubing is ready.

Mine is on the front of the bike so view is to the front only. It is an “Apeman” about £40 on Amazon. Picture quality on the pc and tablet is good but lately uploading to YouTube seems to degrade the picture. If you want have a look at some footage in ride reports. It is wired into a USB unit ignition controlled. Starts recording with ignition on, stops with ignition off. Small hole in the side of the housing for USB lead. Heavy rain does not seem to affect it.

RC Boat club is open. Max of 2 people and pre booking only. It’s good when there are no other boats on the water. RAF fire/crash tender This is a mates.

Without seeing the whole circuit I would say blue/white is the common and Blue is the high beam signal. So try connecting to blue wire.

Burton Dasset hills. Between Banbury and Leamington.

Nice 130 mile trip taking in Shipston Burford Lechlade highworth the A420 to Oxford off at Kiddlington Banbury quick look at Burton Dasset hills.
