    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Great day for flying today, until I broke a header on the Yak :cautious: Happen to have a new one sitting in my basement, all wrapped and ready to go. Will have to put it on sometime this week.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Had to repair my Fromeco switch this morning before going out to fly. Fitted some fresh 16awg noodle wire to both of the receiver outputs, then fitted a pair of receiver leads to each of the outputs so I have dual redundant power outputs to each receiver. Hopefully no more problems with the switch.

    This is why I always keep receipts for whatever I purchase, and stash them away in a file, never to be looked at again (I don't want to know how much I spent, unless it gets stolen).

    My Dell XPS510 wouldn't run Windows 10 at a speed that humans could use it. Maybe a sloth... Reverted it back to Windows 7. I have used Windows 10 very little on a PC that runs it at normal speeds and I could get used to it in time, but all of the computers I use at home work work all use...

    We had one of those a few weeks ago, was just hanging out watching the storm in the distance when a bolt hit not far overhead.
