Also involved is Yeovilton, this year being the 11th July. Kyle, please let me know how many wheel collets you will need :) I think the main points of the Cheader dates is to have them work with other show dates :) I will say again my thanks to Ron and how most years the dates work perfectly, It's a...

That's because the LMA are paying the 9 quid for you this year

Adding a small ceramic .1 in parallel will do nothing for what happens inside non Low ESR capacitors, yes it may well lower the measured ESR of the 2 together but it's like adding a garden hose pipe along side the Mersey Tunnel to help traffic flow :) Low ESR capacitors are not hard to find, the rul...

Use thicker motor wires than normal because of the length and twist the 3 together to minimise any interference from them.
If adding capacitors to the battery cables then use Low ESR ones

In ink that has run due to a slight splash of fuel

The rot is going both ways as I understand that top line Pro drone pilots are now being required to have a PPL in order to continue doing their job at places such at Scarebuss an Owing

Fingers crossed it will go the way of the dog and CB licenses, this year I will mainly be driving the mower on a locked gate airfield, as and when I Have the need to fly something then it's not mine or anyone else's, (how did you get in the gate, please leave) :) Trespass is not a criminal offense. ...

I took some photos of the inside of the Wellington turret in the conservation hanger at Cosford, I will upload them when I have time to resize them, basically everything inside is mat black.

Tim, I will be at the AGM and will be happy to discuss any electrical issues

Elvington should be incredibly helpful as the head of the trusties is Martin Withers

Its worth fitting a hidden switch or link somewhere to the electric fuel pump, something like an XT60 that can be pulled out in the same way as removing the rotor arm from a petrol distributor.

There are 2 on ebay

I think Wrong-Way Douglas Corrigan might be interested

I spoke to Andy of the BMFA recently, they have changed insurance companies and the new one does not require registration under DROSS

What this means is that if the insurance company will wave the requirement to register then a mass boycott is on the cards !

Do not extend the battery wires on the ESC's, only use one BEC or a dedicated BEC instead of the ones built into the ESC's. You can extend the ESC battery wires using capacitors, but that makes things more complicated than you want to look at ! I think I understand what you are asking, Opto isolatio...

If both red wires are left in place then the voltage regulators in the esc's will fight against each other and get confused.
Do not extend the battery wires on the esc, extend the wires to the motor if needed.
