Hi chaps

Anybody know if there is a WiFi signal available at the Warwick show please

If so, the password please?

I may need to relay a few photos back

I don't think it's free, Bob. Certainly the traders have always had to pay extra for it – maybe this year will be different.

[Bob Abell 2Participant @bobabell2]

Thanks Dave

I`m surprised there`s no mention of the WiFI on the net either

Bob

[Dave MilbournParticipant @davemilbourn48782]

I've had a reply to an E-Mail I sent to Meridienne Exhibitions. It says that there is no WiFi avail-abell to the general public. That includes you and me. You will have to find a friendly trader and hook up that way.

Thanks Dave, for your nobell effort

I`m quite disappointed

Pigeons Bob, think pigeons….

[Bob Abell 2Participant @bobabell2]

OK, Colin……I`ll bring you a packet of seed tomorrow!

As already mentioned elsewhere, we enjoyed our visit to the show

We travelled down with the Etherow club in a very special coach!

Note the number……….FA 60 ENG

It was the England Football team coach in 2010!

Talk about arriving in style!

Bob

[Colin BishopModerator @colinbishop34627]

It was good to meet you at long last Bob, and Gareth and some others too.

I enjoyed the show, lots of really good models on display.

Colin

[Bob Abell 2Participant @bobabell2]

Thank you, Colin

I was informed by Kimmo that you at the show…….Somewhere

Not having us met before, I spent quite some time……..Taking sneaky looks at total strangers!………..Can`t imagine what some of them were thinking!………Managed to catch a glimpse of a passing Paul Freshney……..Hi Paul

I saw a few possibilities in the crowd and was just about to approach the likeliest candidate………When you appeared in the nick of time

It was nice having the few words together, unfortunately the coach was about to depart and we had to dash

We enjoyed the show

Bob

[Colin BishopModerator @colinbishop34627]

Oh God….

[Bob Abell 2Participant @bobabell2]

Dave Millbourn on the Components Shop stand was very helpful

Finally, the highlight of the show……..

Something seems to have attracted their attention?

With apologies to Richard Chesney`s excellent Thames Sailing Barge stand

I'd be interested to know just where you found an adaptor to suit that 3.5mm stereo jack. Iain and I thought you were just 'avin' a larf!

Dave

[Bob Abell 2Participant @bobabell2]

There are plenty of sources, Dave

Bob has a Flight Simulator program on his pooter, and this cable is to attach the lead from it – which has a standard USB plug on one end and a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack-plug on the other – to the trainer socket on his Futaba tranny. Never having handled a flight simulator I hadn't a clue that such adaptors exist.
Now I shall know where to go if I ever need to connect up a garden hose to my i-Pad….

Bob
Don't forget that the new battery for your transmitter has four times the capacity of the old one and needs four times as long to charge up fully if you are going to charge it at the same rate as the old one. If you have the Accucel charger then I recommend you set the charge rate at 250ma and charge the transmitter pack for 12-14 hours.
