Went and saw Walk Of The Earth in Cardiff, it was really good, great entertainment and fantastic music. In other news, not surprisingly I crashed my helicopter again. Lost a part which is costing £1.99 Inc P+P from Hong Kong.
Here’s the mend. Bodge. What ever you want to call it.
So having been flying the Genius indoors this evening, i thought I fix the broken ski yet again:
Here are some pictures that I meant to upload the other day:
Went for a fly last night:  
Today my new skids for the helicopter turned up. I crashed while flying at Alan’s a few weeks ago and broke one ski of. It took just a few minutes to replace the skids. But after my crash last weekend I am now awaiting the arrival of a new servo. I bought some disc brakes for my disc conversion project. And then this afternoon I finally built a little stand, so that Tigger’s litter tray stay in the bath room, but we could also have a drawer unit there too. Today we went to Waddesdon Manor, which is a National Trust property. The house wasn’t open, but we walked all around the grounds.
We are regularly seeing 32 in the car, not kph, not the channel on the radio, not the rpm, not even the odometer. No, the temperature, and believe it if you will, that is in C, not K or even F, yes Celsius. Pretty hot it has been and very humid, the humidity has been dropped as low as 68% recently, obvious now (in the evening) it’s up in the low 90’s. We hear that it’s going to be like this for the whole of September! Hannah made some little cocktail pasties, 16 in all, though we only have 14 remaining now as we had to eat two because they are SO GOOD!! Like really really good, even thought the one I had was cold it was very still VERY GOOD! I am looking forward to eating the rest. I expect we’ll get a picture of at least one of […]
We were invited to accompany Tibor, Zsuzanna, Bill and Dana on the Cortina cruise on Ramsey, for Tibor’s birthday. We enjoyed a lovely evening with them all. Also Tigger has been up to his old tricks: I received my gears for the helicopter servo through the post today, so I replaced them and tested the helicopter in the kitchen, all is now good, just need the wind to drop for some flying to happen outside. I think the gears are missing upward of three teeth. Totally different subject, I was watching the news the other morning, there is a scrolling head lines bar across the bottom of the screen which I usually read if the news is dull. One head line read something like “…more than some people had…”. More than some? MORE THAN SOME? Who on earth do they employ to write their headlines? Indeed..
Thought I’d take a few pictures this afternoon, as I felt these following topics were important for you to know. Such as the fact that I had repaired both my helicopters, the large one had the broken blade grip (as per the entry) and the small one had a broken skid leg, so I repaired it with some plastic and superglue. Also the Genius now have a chipped tail rotor, so I shall be ordering another one, two, maybe three or four as I seem to get through them pretty quick. I also made a box for carrying and transporting them without the worry of damage, being an eco friendly type, I made it from the original packaging! The box was/is constructed from corrugated cardboard, I was able to fold it accurately by flattening the corrugations using the a ruler and the back edge of a pair of scissors. Today […]
I have been spending some of my free time modelling the Genius FP in Inventor, a cad software package that I have access to at work. This link is to the PDF of the model, now I believe that if you have a PDF reader, ideally the Adobe one, that ti should open this file and you should be able to view it in 3D.. GeniusFP
