Did you happen to stop at the local pound shop for a box of plastic bin bags?

Hello, you need a licence to fly a radio controlled plane? When did that come in?I just sat the test for a model aircraft/drone Flyer ID and got the Operators licence whilst at it
My neighbour gave me her (sadly deceased) husbands old fixed wing plane. I didn't know about the licences etc so fortunately I hadn't tried to fly it!
Anyway, all legal now and I am joining a club so the flying is in a controlled manner

I've been given some effects from a deceased's persons estate , it seems it stood in a not too water tight shed for the last 20 years .
A lovely very heavy 5 inch Woden vice , the top leading edge of both the jaws have tiny chips out of them , other than that it looks as though it has rarely been used , the grease on the lead screw looks nearly new .
One thing though is that the jaws don't have much grip profile on them and they were not very tight in the seats , You can't invert the jaws as there's a few mm mismatch to fit ( I tried )
The securing screws for the jaws are well thread worn making me think someone has swapped the jaws and put in the worn ones in thei place many years ago
Questions :-
If any of you have a big 5 inch Woden , do any of you know what the thread of the countersunk jaw screws are . I'm guessing they 5/16 th's BSF x 1 inch long but would like confirmation if possible before I buy some high tensile ones .

November 2019. It applies to all flying aircraft heavier than 250g.
And like a lot of similar things, it has no effect on those who would use them for unlawful purposes, while irritating many, many more enthusiast who wouldn't even think of doing so.

It came in fully January this year. They changed the registration criteria. Anything under 250g without a camera doesn't need a license. After that a flyer ID and an operator ID if you are responsible for the craft.

Another one for the collection - got on a good deal, couldn't resist.
Not as powerful as the Makita version, but not as heavy either - already used it to blow off some stuff that was wet.
I can see why people find them so handy, I think this is going to come in quite useful!

Is there a version of the hair dryer for attaching to the toilet?

If you want to give the ole tackle a quick blast, I'm sure it would do the job - be a bit draughty though, I'd say stick to the hand dryer.

New tool, by my reckoning it should make her 3 times quicker
Sorry, no idea what it does?

on my shopping list also, with winter looming. I was thinking the same as you re exhaust heat? was thinking of running it through a old towel radiator mounted on the garage wall ? or would that be a rediculous idea
I have seen people do similar things and it seems to get the heat away well enough, but my concern is that it would be a highly corrosive environment inside which could well rot through after a while, when the CO detector batteries are dead etc...
I'm planning something with copper for what it's worth.
Changing the gas flow would mean having to adjust the air fuel mix (ideally with a lambda sensor) and I saw someone say on the very cheap models this can't be done - and you can tell the very cheap ones because the fan symbol on the LCD screen only has 3 blades instead of 6.
No idea if this is true but I paid an extra £5 for a little picture of a 6 bladed fan anyway.
