I just found a Spektrum DSM2 6-channel microlite receiver(AR6110) in my box of stuff. I bought it last year sometime, but really don't need it at the moment. Already have a few others lying around. Pins are on the side.


Brand new unopened packet. $45 (can't remember how much I paid for it but I think it was around this)

Hi,

Took a look at Hobbies in the Hills today, and came away with 3 options for getting a sim to practice on before I get a plane.

1. Buy an el cheapo USB special from ebay and learn on that with FMS. Estimated cost $20-40.

2. Buy a pack I saw today, which was a copy of Phoenix RC with a spektrum dx5e. Cost $199.

3. Buy a spektrum dx6i for $199, buy a trainer cord off ebay and use FMS. Cost about $230-240.

To my unskilled mind, training on a real controller sounds like a good idea - the feel of the controller in my hand wont change when moving from sim to real (please correct me if I am missing something here). I am not sure about the software side though. Is phoenix so much better then FMS that it justifies getting a 5 channel not a 6?

To avoid polluting the video clips thread, I thought I'd start a different thread for things slightly off topic. Being a video on rotating blades, I guess this video just sneaks in as being remotely relevant.

Hi guys,
I was wondering if anyone has come across my missing HK Coota wing and canopy in the bush at the field??! Last time I flew there(a month or so ago now) my Coota wings folded on me mid-flight and I lost the right wing and canopy in the bush at the front of the flight line. I performed a search but lost heart after half an hour and a few cuts and trench foot! Don't really want to write this plane off just because of a missing wing! Have attached pic of non-missing one for info....
Cheers,
Si

Copper Wire
After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, British scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 200 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 150 years ago.

Not to be outdone by the British, in the weeks that followed, an American archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, a story published in the New York Times: "American archaeologists, finding traces of 250-year-old copper wire, have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network 50 years earlier than the British".

One week later, Australia’s Northern Territory Times, reported the following: "After digging as deep as 30 feet in his backyard in Tennant Creek, Northern Territory, Billi Bunji, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely fu ** -all. Billi has therefore concluded that 250 years ago, Australia had already gone wireless."
...makes ya feel bloody proud to be Australian!
