This, cos you cant drink and fly with any of those sparkly Japanese/Taiwanese sets.

We don't need to go into the programming arguments. Survival on a freezing cold morning is argument enough.

Nice one Charlie!

It's good to see it again.  

I see Spektrum also use the original aerial position for the 2.4ghz twig.

P.S. Just don't spill that coffee!!

Never thought of that, I've been wrong all these years, it does have a use it's a tray / coaster.

So multiplex is the first (yet again) to offer Beverage Diversity.

I asked JR and Futaba to get me a diverse selection of japanese drinks, but they got all saki...

And so they should PDR.

You'll also notice there's full dual cup diversity too, not just reliance on a single unit.......

P.S. I doubt there will be much spare saki at all at the minute. I'd imagine most Toyota employees are hitting it hard.....

...with two straws, yes. I understand that the next development will include coffee perking feedback that can be programmed to trigger audio warnings, and even to deploy the crow-brakes to enable you to land quickly before the coffee gets cold.

As I understand it, that feature ought to be included on the Profi 5000 when it arrives.......  Whistle  With of course constant (spoken) temperature readouts via the co-pilot module, so you'll know exactly how cold you're coffee is getting.

It's how I was taught W8, back around the time of the Roman Invasion. Most flew mode 1 at that time.

...and some still cling to these primative things even though they've long-since become obsolescent, just like outside plumbing, nationalised industries and IC model engines.

But I'm glad to see you don't try to defend the archaic practice of using IC engines in models. There's hope for you yet...

Hope for me PDR?

Afraid not. I simply cannot break free from compulsively buying i.c. engines. Why, everything I fly has one fitted,  apart from a s/h Ripmax Spitfire I bought years ago to help a friend out who needed cash. That hasn't flown for almost 2 years.

The "advantages" of electric flight don't particularly strike me as advantages. I actually like the fuel, oil, mess and noise (four stroke, I don't do two strokes). I feel they give my models character and soul!

And I won't be buying a Toyota Prius either.  Cheesy  Mind you, they ought to be fairly cheap after the fuss has blown over. Anyone fancy a posh milk float?
