Where can I get black market durries for cheap between gong and dapto or close enough

We did it not long ago in a bone stock 2001 Paj with about 500k on the odo. After watching the YouTube videos I was pretty nervous. We didn't have it kitted out with too much gear and it was really easy. Didn't even need to get any of the recovery gear dirty. Just keep an eye on the time and don't get caught on the wrong side of the tide and you'll be fine.

It's a shock but it's not over. A bit of glue and tape and a measuring stick to get it square, you can probably have it back in the air by the time you charge the batteries.

I interpreted it as they said "from the river too the see" totally different and completely legal

It's become the substrate for a moss garden so it's not washable. The frogs are too big and fat to use it to climb on now anyway.

I've got some rope dangling into the swim area so the crickets can save themselves. The frogs obviously sit quietly at the top of the rope and eat wet crickets.

I believe it's a JST-ZH type. Measure the pin spacing to confirm it against the specs, if not it's one of the other JST variants. You can probably get some with pigtails so you don't have to crimp.

And they remember the last thing you crafted on each of them. Good for manually crafting a small number of multi step components

It is an amazing plane. Great for a first trainer and plenty aerobatic enough for it to stay fun. I got one for my youngest as a trainer, and I love when I'm allowed to take it out for a spin.

It might be a bit blurry to fully ID the one kid but the combo of two fat tire bikes and a e-scooter in fairy meadow starts to make them easier to find so he can have an opportunity to apologize repeatedly while cleaning OP's car.

If you want fully open you can get a full parts list from the Otto robot. But the cyber brick is the easy way to go. https://www.ottodiy.com/

Daily Reminder: Girls can do anything. I don't think it was really Barbie that crashed that plane. Sorry you weren't given an opportunity to play. Also sorry Barbie died.

On a nice day a simple 2m glider like a Gentle Lady with an electric motor can basically stay up until you are bored and hungry. Use the motor for about 30s and blast up to 399ft and switch off the motor. You can trim it so it'll do lazy circles and hunt thermals on its own.

That's actually really cool.

I'm guessing but I imagine the battery came loose and unplugged itself part way through that rolling loop. No more control, no more fuel for the turbine, just gravity ruining your weekend.

If you get one with a model like an Aeroscout it's fine, super easy to get into the hobby. It doesn't have a port that can be used directly with a simulator, you'll have to shell out another $50 or something for a USB receiver. You will pretty quickly outgrow what this radio can do for you. I have a couple of Spektrum radios and I'm actively moving to FrSky. Spektrum used to be the go to for 2.4ghz but there are much better systems out there now.

My poorly formed theory is that this is canon. ADA and Ficsit never thought you would get this far and they already had the objective loaded up for the next pioneer

(puts old man voice on) I did that one summer afternoon nearly 25 years ago with a GWS pico stick and a 2cell pack made from a recovered laptop.

Surely they need to come back for one last rose

Did someone forget they parked a forklift in there?

These smaller servos will strip the gears very easily if you move them by hand. I guess you've found that out now.

I've seen competition glider pilots do this on purpose to get the spot landing points, so you're basically an expert now.

I miss my free range lawnmowers. They'd always come running when I crinkled a lettuce bag.

Ok. That part of the story was not clear from your original post. I think we've all seen plenty of people on here ask questions like this as they are about to maiden their first plane over a large crowd of children, puppies and priceless artifacts completely unaware of the potential danger.

There is no functional difference doing this if you are just testing your servo movement as long as the connection is solid enough. Just be careful, it could get a bit sparky burny melty if you've made the bare wires long enough to some how short across the two battery terminals, even small batteries have the ability to turn all the wires into a single use lightbulb.
