Skippies and Kiwis

Paddy, I hope it was not as bad as my speedy ...

Looks like you have been taking lessons from ozzie Chuck.
Had my share of those too.

Yeah the problem with my new Spektrum was not something you would expect from such a company. The guy that put the quality control sticker on needs new glasses. It is a really great radio with some brilliant ideas. The telemetry showed me just how good the water cooling is on the Hydra 240 esc. The boat would come back in to the shore cooler than it left. After sitting on the stand for 2 minutes the temp had climbed by about 10 degrees again. Send it out again and it quickly cooled down again thanks to the water cooling.

One antenna for the radio control and one for the miniature digital TV for those onboard to watch the Packers games.

When I find the info I will post it and give you the technical reason why they use 2 antennas.

hope this is the rite term diversity reciever
one ariel is mounted vertical the second horizontal,works on 2 diffrent planes
the tx basicly chooses wich one has the best signal,if one drops out it pics up they other.
the ariels on the mr3000 are coaxial as well,only the last 30mm or so is the ariel
the rest is to allow it to be mounted as high as possable
happy new year guys

So Simon do Firemen sleep in double beds at the station?
Happy New Year mate and get ready for another year on trans Tasman stirring.

Single beds and that is fine for me, fark on a bad night at ponsonby we only just get the bed warm before we are out again. My poor little teddy can't stay warm and settled

Happy new year to you too and i am sure this will be another year of flinging the manure at each other.

fireman bring a whole new meaning to the word "hot bunk"

I thought they were "QUEEN" size beds. We Fembot's have QUEEN size beds then we see how many can be PACKED into one.
