    Don’t you go using those swear words around me Andy.

    in reply to: Summer boating at the canal #15567

    Must say I was a little disappointed yesterday. Friday I charged the batteries for the yachts in anticipation of sailing Saturday but when I looked NO CALENDAR.

    Checked again Saturday morning and still NO CALENDAR so I assumed everyone had gone Woody sailing @ Forcett.

    Ended up staying home & gardening all day instead only to find out today there was indeed sailing @ the canal.

    Very disappointed !!

    You sure did Andrew, best thermals we have had so far this year.

    @ 1300ft even the big Blanik was getting hard to see (even though it was directly above) so I piked out and came back down.

    Very interesting, looks good

    Yes Ron very happy with both the Blanik & the new AP.

    Especially happy with how well the Blanik thermals, will be able to give Andrew a run for his money now (maybe)

    Yes Ron, thought that may interest you !!

    Well then, all up you are probably looking at $150.00

    F405- Wing FC = $70.00 inc postage

    BN-220 GPS = $22.00 inc postage

    then you need an XT60 plug & socket

    Red & Black silicone wiring (for battery & ESC)

    Heatshrink

    Compatible Receiver with SBUS & S-Port connections (I use FrSky X8R)

    and of course a computer capable of programming the FC. The first one is always a challenge but then they get much easier.

    To get the most out of the telemetry you also need a decent RC Radio that can handle LUA scripts, I use a Jumper T16 (which has a large full colour display) but any of the new RadioMaster radios should also be fine & even the older Taranis X9D will do the job but you only get a monochrome telemetry display which is harder to read.

    If using FPV both the camera and VTX plug straight into the F405-Wing to provide programmable OSD to you goggles or screen.

    Another fine contribution Mr Kermit, thank you.

    Funny, that was exactly what my wife said when she watched the video. Perhaps I better get on line & purchase one.

    Thanks Ron, an oldie but a goodie.

    Your Tarago looks very much like our second one, but ours had a big bullbar on the front

    Thanks Chris, one must assume it’s rather warm when you see everyone sitting in the shadow under the bridge !!

    in reply to: Glorious Monday Fly-In #15387

    All good now.

    Well you know (with the approval of your peers) you could always resurrect the GMA’s.  It’s still running away in the back room of the website.

    Needs a bit more editing methinks, just showing a bit too much of that which should stay at the field.
