Hi Dave, I only had one really the other was for the pilot in the Swift.

I'll be ordering an Alpina( for me own stock) if you are interested in keeping the shipping cost down, give Barrett a buzz and see, 5m for sure

Thanks again

Radios / Radio interference at Bray Head (35 MHz)

« on: June 08, 2010, 16:32:12 PM »

Hi Alan and Fergal

HI Tension Electric Cables CAUSE RF interference, Stay away.

We have power lines scattered across the farm we fly in and suffer from interference on 35mhz near the cables.

Also stay use lower channel numbers (I am on 80  )

Just me twopence worth

completely off topic but I have to say if the 90 deg bracket is your anchor then you are taking your life into your own hands every time you use it.
Several years ago in the UK aomeone was killed when the anchor came free and hit them in the back of the head. A corkscrew type anchor (get them in pet shops for a dog) is much safer.

Please be careful there is a lot of energy stored in the bungee
