This weekend I have been going through the many helicopters that I was given.

I used some cold tinning solution to put a protective coating which is easier to solder to.

I printed the circuit onto photo paper and cleaned the PCB board using a kitchen scrubber thingy, brand new. I then ironed the print onto the PCB board, I don’t think I ironed it for long enough or hard enough, so I wound up spending my evening colouring in the blackness using a Staedtler Permanent marker pen as supplied by the etching solution people from Ebay.

We didn’t get up to a great deal over the long weekend, we did have Lynn and Gerry to visit on Friday and on Sunday visited Portsmouth where Hannah cooked a great roast! We visited Basildon Park (NT) on Saturday, which was pleasant but busy. Mowed the grass and kept busy around the house the rest of the time.

Also got a bit knife delivered the other day, it enables one to spread hard butter into soft bread. It was a kick starter project that I bought into.

The Volvo 340 has had a flashing battery light, on and off, excuse the pun, for some time now. I have no idea why it is happening though I did on a forum that the carbon bushes in the alternator do have a tendency to wear. So I got another alternator and fitted it today. I will give the car a run later to see if this solves the issue.
