  1. Cheers! It's nose heavy anyway, centre of balance is roughly at 1/3rd of the wing with an empty tank. I'm sure my dad will cope with setting it up properly, when he was young he used to build his own planes and take part in competitions. He was even offered a job at some aeronautical company despite his degree being in diesel engines. The engine is a 2 stroke as far as I can tell, there's a compression stroke every rotation. I think it's an 0.40. We could already fly it once we do all the checks but we don't have the fuel and the model shop didn't have any either since the "season" hasn't yet started. Need to google this, I'm sure you can make the fuel yourself. Also no idea on how to fill the fuel tank, there's one hose going to the muffler and one to the "carb". No fuel filler cap or anything Where would one put a GoPro on one of these things and where should the aerial be?
  2. Yeah I think the idea is the same, although in all fairness that M3 sounds a bit too rough with the flaps open.
  3. Jesus. There's an idea for a weekend runaround after I get bored with the S2000.
  4. It's radio controlled, he's not going to be on it while it's flying
  5. I kind of agree with the fashion accessory thing but since it actually proves to have proper off-road capability, it's all the more remarkable. On the contrary to the X6 for instance which is apparently completely useless.
  6. My dad who's 76 this year just bought himself a toy It's massive, wing span is almost my height and it will apparently carry a GoPro with ease. Sadly both him and I have a lot of work today so no time to build it up yet.
  7. I've never understood people who complain about a model of life or for that matter a model of anything. You don't need to fit in, it's your choice to do whatever you want. But if you find that no work and all play is not possible then I'm sure you can answer the question why. And it's not the society that's to blame but you, your choices, upbringing or whatever that has influenced your attributes as a potential employee/employer. I mean this literally, not in a harsh way. Two examples from my group of close friends - you do f**k all until your 16, a few years later end up in a factory doing a repetitive task. You have no time for anything other than work and can't afford much fun either. Example 2: you come up with an idea for a website, get together a group of people to develop it, 2 years later you sell it for over a million quid.
  8. Amazing. There are few things I enjoy watching more than craftsmen at work.
  9. Meh, looks like I'll have to go over to a software keyboard. f**king hate them. Perhaps with a larger screen it won't be that difficult. So what seems to be the android phone of choice these days? Galaxy S3 / HTC One ?
  10. Echo published a video on youtube where they show the assembly of a freewheel. It's just a worker standing in front of a huge pit of balls.
  11. I'm looking for a new phone. Been using an HTC Desire Z for the last 1,5 years and need a phone with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard that's a significant upgrade over my current phone - quicker, larger screen, better camera. I've been googling this for the past hour or so and just got more confused, as far as I can tell almost all the phones I found are old and would be a downgrade, with the only upgrade being a Motorola Photon Q which is unavailable in Europe Help?
  12. I've been watching Mission Impossible for the last 2 hours, only got past 45 minutes of the film because I keep having to read what's going on to understand the plot. And I still don't understand it. Really don't think I'm that thick...
  13. Didn't they just make a whole batch of rip-off's ?
  14. I'll sell it to you I'm sure many Russians treat Damon as some sort of god, let's hope this doesn't backfire when they find out their god can be a bit of a dick. Imagine all those angry Russians, scary shit!
  15. Oh well, the winter sport of driving at night ended for one of my friends yesterday This was to be expected sooner or later, at least he caught it on camera. Can't wait to see what that Subaru will look like after they fix it, this is what his M3 looks like and that hasn't been in an accident yet
  16. I'm sure she was fascinated
  17. Meh, seems to be incompatible with my HTC. This sucks so hard, more and more things are not working on my phone and it's not like I can upgrade because there's nothing with a f**king hardware QWERTY keyboard nowadays.
  18. I've learned the meaning of a new word today. And it's only been today for like 1 minute. That accomplishment aside, was quite interested in the Megane RS lap time so good episode from my point of view.
  19. If I'm not a big gayboy and thus do not own an iProduct, can I still get this game?
  20. Cheers, glad to hear it's not too abnormal. I think another possible cause is that she's doing her second masters degree (takes 2 years over here) and as a result she's had very little time since early December up until just a few days ago. We didn't go out anywhere or do anything interesting for so long that I just lost interest after going through the frustration phase. She too thinks that doing this course was a massive mistake so you two have something in common We're planning a trip somewhere next weekend. Hope this will help, I feel so bad with this attitude. Cheers man
  21. Getting slightly bored with the gf which doesn't make any sense at all. I'm grumpy, having to control myself constantly and force behaviours which were once natural. Thinking this might be due to a lot of work and a lot of things being on my mind recently. This phase must stop
  22. Greetings

    Flashback?

    Anyone ever had one? I just stumbled upon this subject on Wikipedia, sounds interesting. Never thought the typical movie depiction of a flashback is accurate but it seems to be according to the definition below. Does it really feel like a past experience happening again or is that exaggerated?
  23. f**k me, that's who he reminded me of. Jardo, I was surprised at the power output too considering how much slower the car was in a straight line, then assumed it must be due to the weight difference and gearing. People attending these kinds of events aren't the one to lie about power output, if they do, they usually go the other way. But I agree something doesn't add up here. Either way, seems like the car handles brilliantly. All the more impressive when you consider it has AC, satnav and seating for four.
  24. Whenever you hear something along the lines of "THE REAL TRUTH BEHIND [insert random word here]" or "THE TRUTH IS", you know it's bullshit. I'm sure it's cool to be the enlightened one but frankly speaking I'd rather stick with living in the dark and not giving a shit. If you need an excuse for smoking too much weed then so be it but don't expect to find people who will back you up on your wild theories on TF
