  2. Anyone watching Ultra 4:King of the hammers? Full size rock crawling and off road racing :good:

      I recommend the channel 'You TUBA' for some great off-road racing action.

  3. Where do you source lipos these days?

    Always used Hobbyking  as I don't need top of range stuff and had no issues with either service or products. Getting back in helis and need some 1300 to 1800 3S and at some point will replace my 2S. Hobbyking stock seems very limited at the moment

      Had a look around, found what I need on amazon and had a £50 gift card which I'd forgotten about which was nice!! Ordered yesterday at 8am, delivered at 8.30pm!!!

      @GMballisticnot top of the range I'm not putting Turnigy down in any way, all my lipos bar 3 are Turnigy and not had any problems. Bought a heli on a whim and didn't want to fork out  £££s if its not right for me :good:

      Think Jack my be right about the lock down, I work for a pretty big company, And on my night shift last night my  team Manager come up to me and said I hadn't put an emergency contact number on the  Online Website thing we have, And nor had anyone else on our shift, He said "Do you want to come to the office and do in now or do it yourself tomorrow, But it needs to be on there by Friday".

       Thing is we've had this Online system for more than 2 years and they have never give a monkeys about it, And half of us can't even use it, It was also my last night shift before my 4 off, Also, Overtime for a shutdown we have in a couple of weeks has all been cancelled, But what put the iceing on the cake was when the next shift come in they said they had herd that we were being shut down on Friday.

       So i'll be waiting for a call on Friday, What will just about finish my mental stability off, We were supposed to be going to Disney world next week with our friends and all the kids, So if loosing that wasn't bad enough, Our Friends house is attached to there business, Which is a Nursery.

      Guys from EE called me and suggested that there was also going to be a lock down. I really don't think we're going to be army on the street levels of lock down, but I guess time will tell.

       

      There is a lot of people who buy food as they need it and have not stocked up like crazed apocalypse doomsday merchants. You can't easily get deliveries anymore, all the slots are taken, so I would like to know how they expect people to actually live if they do lock eveything down.

      Just got out of a meeting with the big brass at my works and they assure us there will be no lock down in the country, its totally in the gov`s interest to keep the country working

      Weather terrible and no chance of flying outside, did manage to get it in the air in the stores at work. Really impressed how steady and locked in it is. Flew mate's on Monday and surprised how steady it was despite the wind and it's size. 

      I'm CAA approved and registered both commercially and personally so no issues for me but I suspect that it will be attractive to many :thumbsup:

      I have central heating but we pretty much have it off and only the supplementary electric fire going in the Living room .

      Doesn't seem a lot of sense in paying to heat the whole house when we are all in the Living room

      Everyone will need them soon after the watch dog smear campaign even getting quad owners to side with them. Anything for tv time. 

      One gguy with a dji phantom said he refuses to fly it anymore because of how dangerous it is. I think he did blind a little boy tho.  Idk if it was his little boy or a boy playing out. 

    4. Gaz!

      Very best of luck mate, once sorted I think we need a video doing at a meet, something very different I think.....

  15. Question for any Phantom 3 users.... What tablet are you using? Got a Galaxy Tab 4, stripped of all apps and lag is dreadful. Borrowed an iPad mini 2 and fantastic. Thoughts before I buy something welcome

      turok007

      it might make more sales but it is also going to get the hobby banned or laws so strict it won't be worth owning a quad.
