It is interesting that you focus mainly on LiFe batteries. In my opinion they are the worst value for money out there. Yes they are light but that is about the only good point they have.
In a yacht a good set of AA or AAA NiMh batteries formed into a 4 cell (4.8V) or 5 cell (6.0V) will generally set you back far less and as long as you look after them they will last a good 5 years or more.
I recently had to replace 1 cell in a 5 cell AA pack (that I use primarily in my larger yachts) that was made with cheap HobbyKing NiMh cells way back in September 2012.
Most transmitters (but not all) will take 4 (or sometimes 8) individual AA batteries and 4 x AA NiMh fit this bill also. Yes they only produce 4.8V and not 6.0V but they will still keep your transmitter running for many days of sailing.
Nice to see you got the Sydney 36 back on the water, another to add to your ever growing fleet.
As for the shower cap, didn’t look like showers to me, more like bucketing down which is why I stayed home warm and dry !!
Well you shouldn’t feel too bad with 50%.
After spending hundreds of hours working out how to drive the new video editor & countless time removing all the wind noise from the footage, what did I get?
Zilch, didn’t even get my vote cos I gave mine to you Mr Frog, then found out I couldn’t vote twice with the new polling system so stop your belly-aching.
The results are in and for the first time in he history of the GMA’s we have a tie.
Congratulations to Kermit & Uncle G.
Only 2 1/2 hours left for the GMA voting this week & I just discovered it is currently a draw between Uncle G & Kermit so I guess one or both of you need to chase up a couple more votes.
Makes a difference when you can only vote once eh ?
Changing devices or IP addresses to squeeze in an extra vote or two wont work any more with this new system.
Another quality video from Toad Hall productions. Maybe it had something to do with you running out of planes to fly but you certainly did capture what was happening around the field.
Trying a new GMA voting program this week. No idea if it will work or not but the timer to the start of voting at 10:00pm Local time is now counting down and voting should be live for 48 hours from 10:00pm tonight.
It doesn’t need linking to the actual videos so if you are late posting (as I will be) it just means less time for your vid to collect votes. We will see how it works.
Looks like Kermit is running late as well & he can’t blame 4K processing for his delay, probably busy repairing today’s carnage.
I have included Hoppy as he generally puts up something as our Foreign Correspondent.
Methinks the lack of votes on your part related more to the video content (only 1 plane doing laps). I think you need more planes to point your camera at.
On the other hand Uncle G also only had one plane to point at but at least there was some action.
Perhaps the voting needs to be for the pilots rather than the videographers.
