Here’s one of my flights for today!

65″ screen, surround sound, snags burning on the grill in the kitchen, all I need now is some frogs parachuting from the ceiling!

Hi Pete, with LiFe & Eneloop batteries I store them fully charged in a safe place, but for lipo’s I always store them at 3.8 volts/cell (storage charge)

I dug out an old 4 cell LiPo the other day that has been in storage for around 5 years, charged it up and it worked perfectly.

The main thing with all batteries is to never leave them discharged. and as Mike said remove the batteries from the equipment.

That’s cheating, heating it up to get the correct shape.

But a good idea!

[Sinker]

Yep, using windows 10 with no problems

The one I bought is “Real Flight 9” from ebay. the dongle is for FrSky transmitters.

You can buy Real Flight in two versions, with or without a controller.

I just bought the software and use the dongle, but this took a bit of setting up to work.

If you get the controller version you just plug it in and play.

With the way the Australian Dollar is the price has gone up a lot since I got mine.

Might pay to talk with Mike about the one he uses.

Or another option is to enrol in Kermits ONLINE Top Gun Flight School!

Thanks Moose, hope you are well.

Don’t worry about the dog, she loves chasing it!

I got a couple of parcels from Banggood yesterday, just need to check that’s its actually in stock or not.

Dear temporary president Kermit,

I don’t have any cyclops goggles to compare them with!

Question 1. I don’t know if they are lighter. but they weigh 400g without the battery (not supplied)

Question 2. They have a very clear and bright picture with good reception from the inbuilt dual receivers.

Question 3. Cost me $168 including postage from ebay – Banggood have them on special now for $132 but not in stock?

Question 4. I ordered them on Tuesday 24th March and they were delivered on Thursday 26th March.

Question 5. ????? I believe BA & Mike ordered some from Banggood weeks ago and still had not been posted as of last Thursday.

Thank’s Mike.

I don’t think I could ever fill those shoes!

You did a good job tracking that black thing with the camera

Another good day at the field!

 

[Sinker]

It’s going to be quiet without you Kermit, Get well soon!

[Sinker]

Yeah I did notice a white ute driving all around the paddock in your video.

[Sinker]

Looks like I missed a great day at the field, Bloody coronavirus (or man flu)!
