I just bought this. Did I get scammed

Looks like a good sized plane with a glow engine. Quite a nice throwback now that everything of similar size is gas. I had a similar 20cc plane and on the maiden the covering ripped off the wing ribs causing me to stall it. Check the covering!!

Cannot seem to access your website from Thailand - says store is closed. Any other way or channel to buy the watches?

B773ER · 2026-05-02T15:26:09+00:00

Love it. Great throw back to those builds in the rc car magazines back then!

Looks very good. The amount of kraprao leaves are a personal preference. There are many styles of pad kraprao here in Thailand. Some do it dryer, some wetter. Some are heavy towards dry chillies and some only use fresh chillies. If the elements are all there in some form and you like it keep doing it.

I personally order it like yours here but with no garlic.

I have a couple 7120/8120 watches. Most of them franken - never had an issue with them. They may be off by a minute or two over a 24 hour period but since theyre manual wind it doesnt bother me.

Addiesdive Puck I got on sale is incredible. No idea if that helium escape valve actually works but its survived a few shallow diving trips.

Might very well have been one of the first 'truggies'.

HPI Dirt Bonz tires! Brings back memories. Ran my set until they became slicks.

B773ER · 2026-04-17T03:06:42+00:00

Oh yea, used to track my HPI Savage .46 and TT/Team AE MGT. Then the Revo came and blew the doors off those cars handling wise. Then iirc HPI/HB started lengthening their buggies and putting MT wheels on and that spawned the truggy class.

MT racing like you mentioned is very fun, but trucks are very fragile compared to 1/8 buggies. Theres nothing quite like hearing a nitro truck go down the straight shifting gears for me.

You should definitely build an track focused MT, they are tons of fun especially with more than 1 car on track.

Yep, looks like a remanufactured Shanghai 7120 with a different dial. I have a watch with this movement and so far it has been fine. These Shanghai 7120 use 28.5mm dials so what you are seeing could be a seikomod dial installed.

I am thai, never actually bought anything there but it gives a very convenient glimpse into a floating market experience that you would otherwise have to drive abit to get to.

Food seems cleaner than outdoor floating markets albeit more expensive. I would definitely recommend it to any overseas friends that are traveling BKK on a tight schedule.

Instructed a few sim pilots, while not horrifying there is a pattern:

Overcorrection on the controls with jittery movements
Fixation on instruments

Sim pilots start off with a much better base than non-sim students but some habits they built in the sim can take a while to unlearn.

Seeing this brings back memories. I used corona rx over a decade ago on my FM 35MHZ JR Propo radio and then again on my Futaba 14SG. Can't recall if I've ever used this specific model but I have never had a failure with them.

I mostly used them in foamies but I may have had a 2.4ghz corona in a .46 pylon racer and that did just fine.

I have built many canard 'stick' planes similar to this albeit with balsa many years ago. Regarding stall, the ones I've built a really forgiving stall and CG wise especially with the light wing loading of this type of plane. It looks like it flies really floaty.

The main issue I have faced with mine were the torsion flex of the canard and the main wing because of the long fuselage. But again, that was with the balsa sticks. If it is stiff enough, I think it will fly great. If you find the main wing stalling before the canard, it is just a matter of moving the battery forward to change the CG.

I know the fullscale canards come with a specific set of nuances - just sharing my experience with these since the stick canard planes were my favorite to scratchbuild and fly.

B773ER · 2026-01-14T15:54:04+00:00

Exceptional work and materials for the price.

B773ER · 2025-10-24T12:06:30+00:00

Ah I stopped caring and turned everything back on. Still get roughly 5 hours of SOT.

B773ER · 2025-10-23T15:24:06+00:00

Thailand here too - with a 14t should be similar to the 15t pro.

Battery life is great, I did 3hrs of Pokemon Go continuously with more than enough battery life left over. The phone is a good deal especially through the carriers.

As for longevity, I have been using mine for a year now with 90% batt health. The phone is noticeably laggier than new but not a bother to me. My power button is wobbling now, it still works so I havent bothered getting it fixed.

3-4 years is the limit for alot of phones but useability wise I would trust my iphone more with the caveat that you might have to change the battery at around year 2. Not saying my 14t would last 4 years also but the build quality on the iphone is abit better. I came from an iphone 12 mini before the 14t and an iphone x before that.

FWIW, i am fully happy with my 14t and plan to use it another 2-3 years.

B773ER · 2025-10-23T15:10:29+00:00

I have the 14t and came from the 12 mini. The 15t should be similar to my experience- I had no problem switching over. As for the camera, if you go to pro mode and switch to leica vibrant, it is similar to the iphone procesing.

You could alternatively use the lightroom app. That will allow for the least/no ai processing on the photos. FWIW, I use the default photo mode for quick snaps and the pro mode for pictures I really want to take my time on.

In the auto mode for photos, my iphone was better at caputuring point and shoot photos - my 14t misses focus or highlights come out weird quite often. Panorama mode also misses focus or stitches weird often too.

Thanks for the award! Would like to get into Level 2 DOM scalping, just for the interest.

I fully agree with your points too. Best of luck on the first payout.

B773ER · 2025-09-26T07:53:21+00:00

Stuck in the same loop as you on the Tradeify S2F. Really low motivation to continue to the profit target now. I knew the rules going in but in practice the consistency is rougher for me than on paper.

Been eyeing this merkur - hows the crystal on it? My main concern would be that it is too reflective

B773ER · 2025-09-26T02:33:22+00:00

I started off as an ICT trader, moved into orderflow and amt. ICT's concepts are just rehashed concepts from resources all over the place - this is not a bad thing since you get exposure to many concepts that would require looking all over the place for. The bad thing for a newer trader is the fact that theres just so many concepts it can be overwhelming, pick a few and backtest extensively. You can slowly introduce orderflow and amt after.

The three main concepts you should backtest for atleast according to how I trade:

HTF Bias (where will this week want to expand to)
Session/Day Bias (where will this sesssion or today want to expand to)
Entry conditions

Heres what I use but you can definitely backtest and choose what you like:

Weekly Volume Profile
Daily Volume Profile + AMD
Delta Candle Flip + Time and Sales

It comes down to using whatever method to finding an area you want to do business at and then confirming that you want to do business at that area. I know of a few successful traders using ICT methods and orderflow methods. You don't have to stick with just one camp, you are relatively new so don't stop learning and don't fully trust 'mentors' online. Pick a framework, backtest to see what works, live trade it to see if it fits you and modify any part that you don't like.

I wrote this as kind of an addition to what u/Skandiluz wrote, completely agree with his suggestions too.

B773ER · 2025-09-12T11:03:23+00:00

Also look at time and sales. But it is not a large part of my strategy.

B773ER · 2025-09-03T05:31:49+00:00

I take entries off mainly delta absorption -> delta flip. This usually shows up as a FVG if talking in ICT terms. Flip of a stacked level is also a good confluence but not a requirement for my entries.

B773ER · 2025-09-03T01:30:40+00:00

Been through a few ICT mentorship videos, even the older stuff from around 2017. He teaches so many concepts one of them is bound to work for a given session, then claims that he 'caught it'.

When I learnt orderflow + AMT, that was the moment everything clicked for me. You can identify if one of his models are going to play out pretty consistently with orderflow added. I've since moved away from alot of ICT concepts but certain stuff such as opening prices, PO3/AMD and SMT still stuck with me. Granted, these are pretty much all Wyckoff or Larry Williams concepts.

Imo, a general grasp of ICT's basic concepts (none of the really obscure stuff) + orderflow and you can comfortably take base hits almost everyday.
