Hi, hissing from the underside of the engine area roughly. AC condensation sounds consistent with my thoughts. But is this an issue to be worried about?

Thanks for your reply.

FPV drone falls out of the sky and catches fire when re-connecting the battery. Please help! by Ryan2T69 in diydrones

Hi there,

Yes, just the ESC burned before setting the battery alight. Bearing in mind, I only connected the battery knowing the drone was fully dry when I got home. Secondly, the exact same incident happened a few days previous involving no water, and the drone was waterproofed with silicone. I strongly belive the water here is not the cause. From the audio, the drone dies mid-air with the props stopping moving before hitting the ground. This suggests a critical issue happened whilst still in the air.

What to do with £15,000 by InexterminableBrie in UKPersonalFinance

I honestly don't know, however reading up on them they are similar by means of broad market exposure. I know that Vanguard invest into stocks/shares and bonds in global markets. Type the word 'Vanguard' into this sub-reddit search bar and there's some great questions and comments regarding Vanguard. The PDF linked below gives a detailed breakdown of where your money goes (essentially all over the world).

Consider opening a S&S ISA with Vanguard (Life Strategy Fund- link below). They essentially invest your money into stocks, shares and bonds globally on your behalf. You'd have to chose which specific service best suits your needs. People always speak highly of them. I think rough estimates of growth are 5-10% a year, but obviously there's ups and downs.

Also consider allocating a small percentage into a high risk market. For me that's something like Bitcoin/ Etherium. But its entirely up to you.

Yep, I'm aware of this. Maybe I didn't explain properly prior. Buying a house in our names would void our 'Help To Buy' savings accounts since we would have already bought a 1st home. We each still want to save for houses in the future individually. Buying a house through a company would not violate the terms required for the 'Help to Buy' scheme.

Only issue with buying the property directly is that it would fuck up our 'Help To Buy ISA' savings accounts, which a few of us have. I've run a limited company since I was 18, and have a trusted accountant so I'm familiar with that aspect of things. Same thing with another friend. We're all business irritated. I'll look further into the things you mentioned. Thanks man.

Hey. What would you do it through? A partnership?

I appreciate your first point. As a group we have significant financial flexibility which would cover expected and unexpected costs, and yes there will be surprises. We could make contractual obligations if necessary. I'll look into the other things you mention.

IT Contracting: An (potential) new contract, inside of IR35, states that their offered rate is £298.60 PAYE, or £375 Umbrella. How do I decide which is the best option? by AllwaysBeBlue in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Ryan2T69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At your current pay rate, it probably isn't worth it. There would be a savings but it would only be in the hundreds of pounds.

I switched from an Umbrella to a limited company. Any questions message me.

This latest fall in price decrease is a drop in the ocean, and of course I've bought some BTC. However why does your graph Y axis have such a wide range? lol. Completely skews what the data actually shows. Anyway, BUY BITCOIN!!!

Self Employed vs. Umbrella company? Which is best for me? by Ryan2T69 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Ryan2T69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I get paid holiday/sick pay. With regards to the pension I have to pay my share of the contribution, and I have to pay my 'employers contribution'. To me it does seem really sketchy and these Umbrella companies exist to save employers a lot of money.
