Hey folks, I used to own a hobby shop in QLD some years ago (Bundaberg Hobbyworld). I've still got a small collection of items left that I'd like to get rid of (read: my GF wants out of the house   ). It's mostly small stuff like e-props and some electronics...bit of eagle tree gear, some servos etc etc. I'm just wondering what the best way would be for club members to get a look? I'd come out for a fly at some point (I'm in Petersham, so PRCAC is the closest club to me AFAICS), but given how rubbish the weather has been, I'm not sure if anyone's even flying atm?

Anyway, if there's any interest at all, I can dump the boxes out and take some photos.

I'd love to see this stuff to go people who will actually use it, rather than just getting thrown out. I did a few rounds of eBay when I closed the shop and it was largely unsuccessful, so I'm not really interested in going down that route again.

Cheers,
Brenton

A major development for RC control links for planes -ELRS- is becoming available with the Frsky Twin. However the new technology can also be used in Radiomaster, Taranis, QX7 and other radios, and its already in use for drones where ELRS has started to displace Crossfire.

Twin uses the leading open source protocols developed over many years for racing FPV to improve latency, telemetry, distance and signal quality.

Twin is a dual band system that Mawz says "using 1 FSK link (traditional 2.4G tech, same basic tech as ACCESS and TANDEM 2.4G and 1 LoRA link (same tech as ELRS, Tracer and Ghost on 2.4G, as well as all current 900MHz systems)".
(Mawz post #8 in https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthre...Lite-Radio)
Mawz post #22 says:
" That is really a sea change in the available RF performance for 2.4G systems and a major shot across the bows of the older solutions, especially for those of us flying in more challenging RF environments. And it's not one coming from the high-dollar brands, but rather two of the brands often looked down on as 'Budget' solutions and the hobbyist community itself."

Github provides a fuller explanation:
https://github.com/ExpressLRS/ExpressLRS says:
"ExpressLRS is an open source Radio Link for Radio Control applications. Designed to be the best FPV Racing link, it is based on the fantastic Semtech SX127x/SX1280 LoRa hardware combined with an Espressif or STM32 Processor. Using LoRa modulation as well as reduced packet size it achieves best in class range and latency. It achieves this using a highly optimized over-the-air packet structure, giving simultaneous range and latency advantages. It supports both 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz links, each with their own benefits. 900 MHz supports a maximum of 200 Hz packet rate, with higher penetration. 2.4 GHz supports a blistering fast 500 Hz on EdgeTX. With over 60 different hardware targets and 13 hardware manufacuturers, the choice of hardware is ever growing, with different hardware suited to different requirements."

For a good discussion of ELRS see Bardwell, including flashing ELRS onto a Radiomaster with a Frsky R9 Access module and a Frsky R9 access rx.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TGYy1psWgU
This module is available on Horusrc for $US55 and is compatible with various access Frsky radios including QX7 and Taranis. 

Bardwell says ELRS is a radio control link firmware that has the highest performance, longest range length, and lowest latency  compared to all the competition.

An ELRS module for Frsky Tandem txs is already available on Horusrc for US$70
https://www.horusrc.com/en/modules/dual-2-4ghz-module.
The only rx that currently works with this module (AFAIK) is the Frsky Vantac ELRS rx for US$ 13, but it is a drone rx with no PWM ports for servos. But other receivers and a Twin tx are in the pipeline. See below for rxs available now. I understand the current Frsky ETHOS firmware may require an update to run Twin.

This sale is open for all as the aircraft is not for a small field like Mccoy.

   

   

Price $200 or near offer.

I see in the youtube that durring a roll it starts heading towards the ground , this is not a slow flyer.

What to do in case of an accident at the flying field?

The most Likely injuries to occur at out flying field would be lacerations (deep cuts) or possibly the complete severing of a finger or thumb caused by a rapidly spinning propellor or propellors.
      There are many things we can do to avoid and mitigate the risk of this happening and we will discuss these in detail later. But for now assume that all of those things have failed and someone has sustained a serious injury of this kind. What do you do?
        First try and get the injured person to sit down. You don’t want them passing out or falling and injuring themselves further. Call for someone to bring a chair or get them to a car if possible.  Put pressure on the wound to stop the bleeding and elevate it if possible. If it’s still bleeding badly you are going to need to use a tourniquet hopefully our first aid kits should include one. If you need to use pressure and a tourniquet it’s going to be pretty serious and you if are the only other person there you’ll have to make the decision to call an ambulance. If you are in doubt do it early!  You cannot stem serious bleeding and drive them to hospital at the same time. Your priority will be to control the bleeding until an Ambulance arrives.  If a finger has been severed pick it up put it in a plastic bag and then put the bag in Ice if you have some. Then make sure it goes with the patient to the hospital. Many times a severed finger can be reattached.
        If it’s safe to transport them by car take them to Blacktown Hospital Emergency. It’s the closest emergency medical care to the flying field. If you don’t know where that is get someone who knows to go with you. If you have a first aid kit please take the time to know where Blacktown hospital is and know how to get there from McCoy Park. Everyone should, at some stage, take a drive past it on their way home so they know how to get there. It’s a simple bit of preparedness that can go a long way to giving you much needed confidence in a difficult situation.
        Remember anyone who has been injured and needs medical care must be driven to the Hospital. You cannot let them drive themselves. The injury might not be that bad and they may seem to be doing well but keep a close eye on them regardless. Because people can go into shock after a traumatic experience and trauma can sometimes trigger other medical issues. Be mindful of this and ask, from time to time, how they are doing. Make your own assessment of this too. Ask yourself “how do they look?” it’s important.
Here's a link to a short video showing the recommended first aid for managing bleeding.

Hi guys just wanted to bring to your attention a situation that happened with my granddaughter she falls up car with petrol last week and to our horror the petrol had at least 50% water in it apparently the recent rain contaminated the tank so so you guys are gonna have to be really careful where you buy your petrol for a few weeks at least.
