I was at the field today between 14:00 & 15:00 all on my own , good flying too. There is a dead sheep along the fence line towards the gate from the pits, I saw the farmer so reported this to her. I hope no one had plans for a BBQ Smile .

I have a little problem with one of potentiometers in my mc3010.
In the idle position of the stick it shows 3.00V - should be 2.5V like on the others..
Gonna try to use potentiometer cleaner - now - which one would you recomend ?
No point sending to MPX service, as I'm looking for mc4000 or mc3030 anyway - so it will be with me for a short time, no point in spending to much money I believe...

There are a number available. Maplin are easily available and stock two types: - JP17T and N61AN

I would probably go for the first, the Servisol product, as these are a good known make

One can also obtain them from the likes of RS, Farnell etc but mail order would be required and I doubt they would be any better than the Servisol item anyway

If you haven't got a Maplins nearby Rob Halfords do a good circuit cleaner also Wink

Isopropanol (ipa) is a safe gentle cleaner for electronicy bits.... Failing that, get yourself a proper electronics cleaner like the ones mentiomed above.

In the mean time I will try some 96% spirit Twisted Evil - maybe this will help ... if not the radio - then it will put me in a better mood Laughing
