...something like 187.5g (1/2way between 150 and 225). Yes, you're right, I just couldn't remember the correct weight limit for walkers, or do the maths properly. It had been a very busy day! But its very unlikely to ever happen. I agree! Flying models *must* use 35MHz or 27MHz, *not* 40MHz (it's t...

Burgess Hill has a rail link with Hull - unfortunately it goes via Doncaster, Kings Cross and Victoria! :( Due to a geographical quirk of fate, most current AWS entrants live within about 30-50 miles of the M25, so that is where most of the events take place. It's simply down to where people who are...

It appears that all the topics were pruned by our hacker :evil: thus deleting every post more than 7 days old. This did clear out a lot of dross I suppose, but it also meant a lot of useful stuff was lost. Unfortunately it may prove impossible to recover anything / everything :evil: :evil: Sorry I w...

I think most of these questions have come up before, but with the recent demise of most of the forum I can't check at the mo'. 1) So far there have been precious few rolling cluster bots and precious few walkers, let alone walking clusters! I think there was a suggestion that a walking/rolling clust...

BH is very convenient for me! :) Pete, if you try to avoid all exams I think you will end up in the school holidays. So you are likely to find some people are on holiday. You can't please everyone! Personally I think the original nominal late Feb, late June, late Oct works pretty well. Late June get...

We had excellent service from http://www.pandanmodelboats.co.uk

They seem to stock a reasonable range of Hitec crystals, they also do motors, ESCs, servos etc etc as well as boat (and submarine!) bits.

We have joined up and signed up for the event.

Also managed to get hold of some 40.665 Hitec xtals. It seems that Hitec don't make 40.705 (for some reason!), so that one sounds like Futaba-only...

PC power supplies are designed to supply 5V at many many amps, but the 12V output is only usually good for an amp or so. Modifying this type of supply is far from trivial and is only for those that really know what they're playing with, since we're talking mains voltage at one end and *lots* of curr...

Hi Dudd, and welcome! You can find several how-to's on various websites, take a look at: http://www.antweight.co.uk/build/howto_1.htm The Futaba Skysport 4 mentioned above is a good starting point, alternatively the Hitec Laser 4. Make sure you get one for 40MHz (35MHz is for aircraft only!). The se...
