Just me who thinks having Avery as a surname and being an RSPB director is funny?

Funny, I've got deer on my ticket for my .223, the BDS, BASC and Police all agree they are fine for deer.

Not usually, look on the cable it should say which it is.

If you've got the DCU-60 cable (has to be that one) then look here http://www.davinciteam.co.uk/W580/index.html

Having met you I'd never have thought it!

Game on now, and for my bet of Liverpool 3-2 (ok Rise has to score the 3rd) but if he does I'm taking the day off to fill a recently acquired .223 slot with a new sako 85 varmint

Like this ?

I think there is a key difference. Ray's shows are more generally about how to survive in an environment and live off the land. Bear's shows are about how to get the freak out of a situation. Quite different sets of skills really though I do accept there is a degree of overlap, which is probably why people are comparing the two when there isn't much of a comparison.

See if you can have a look at one of the "Ghost Stealth" nets. So light and fold up really small, not cheap but you get what you pay for.

I can feel a dogfight at bisley coming on

Dentists sometimes use DTL shooters to put people to sleep before extractions

I'm not really in a position to make this comment really, but Ray Mears must be ******* good at finding wild food, considering the size of him

If its all sound it will fly just fine like it is. You don't have to spend anything, if someone holding a BMFA "B" or "E" ticket checks it out and gives it a test fly with a thumbs up - your laughing. Mind you, you'll soon want faster / larger / noisier / 3D - if you get bitten you'll never have any money

I'll get SS to post his pigeon and cider apple pate, it's bloody fantastic!

I've owned and flown most small electric heli's so feel free to get a view from someone who knows.. There is some great stuff out there, but with the influx of cheap Chinese copies there are ones to avoid, too

The cheapy sims are good too. If you want a real bargain, get one of these :- Esky Llama II If you get the right package you can pick them up with a 6ch radio and the simulator disk in there for about £60 They really are good fun, I fly mine out of my hand in the office, annoy people and then land it back in my hand

That radio doesn't have a buddy box connection, it's also very old. 4 Chan with a switched 5th channel. NEVER use dry cells in an RC unit, they can't provide the power you need and will die far too quickly. Much better to use a pack of high capacity Nicads - if it doesn't have a connection for one in the battery box you can wire one up easily with a soldering iron, you'll pick the appropriate lead up for a quid or so at a hobby shop. If it works and the range is good there's no reason to change it, but you can pick up a nice 6ch current futaba radio for about £40 which will have a buddy box connection. With the radio being that old, I'd get the receiver checked too - if its of the same age as the radio it will be a single conversion unit and I would advise changing it for a better dual conversion unit (better interference protection) - if you can afford it get a radio that does PCM and a PCM receiver (these have a failsafe and much better interference protection). (better still 2.4GHz but that's yet more cash!) Welcome to the money pit my friend

I think his show is a bit fake in places, but it would have to be for TV. Yes he takes risks but as has been said it's to show how to deal with them. I can't comment on his techniques as my survival training is limited to what I learned in the Air Cadets years ago I do think he's mad for drinking dirty water, squeezing water out of elephant dung etc, can't see why you'd do it unless you absolutely had to

"Grylls served for three years as a trooper with the Territorial Army as a Specialist Combat Survival Instructor and Patrol Medic with the Special Forces unit, 21 SAS Regiment (Artists Rifles). His military service ended in 1996 due to a parachuting accident during a training exercise in Africa. His canopy ripped at 16,000 feet (4500 m), partially opening, causing him to fall and land on his parachute pack on his back, which broke three vertebrae (t8, t10 and t12) and left him struggling to feel his legs. Grylls later said of the accident, "I should have cut the main parachute and gone to the reserve but thought there was time to resolve the problem." Grylls spent the next 12 months in rehabilitation and, with his military service over, directed his efforts into trying to get well enough to fulfill his childhood dream of climbing Everest. Following his military discharge, Grylls has since been awarded the honorary rank of Lieutenant Commander in the UK's Royal Naval Reserve." Grylls first entered the record books in 1997 by being the youngest Briton to summit Ama Dablam in the Himalayas with his good friend Colm Keaveny, a peak famously described by Sir Edmund Hillary as "unclimbable". He was also the youngest Briton to scale Everest. I'd say that's a reasonable CV

With that fella you'll need it checking over by someone competent at a club, you should find one with that link. I'd check the condition of the receiver batteries (in the nose), if they are cheap or old or don't hold a good charge you'll save buying a new heli for a few quid If it were me I'd have it properly checked over and test flown, trimmed and tracked if required by an experienced pilot. If he/she doesn't securely peg it down (or fit running in paddles) and do a power on range test don't let him/her fly it and find another club! Do you know how old the fuel is? (old fuel takes on moisture and makes it ****) Third item down this page http://www.modelhelicopters.co.uk/acatalog...ainingAids.html Get one, it will save you at least a couple of sets of blades, tail rotors, skids, flybars and paddles and possibly a boom or two (as well as other bits) (add those up and the U/C looks very cheap!) One last thing, if it's not had them get the plastic ball joints replaced with metal ones, trust me! Oh, and for the small electric heli question. Jury is out, I think they are a lot harder to fly than larger beasts but the counter rotating blade jobs can be made very stable with care. Personally I'd get hold of "Reflex XTR" and a lead for your TX (I assume it's an FF6 or something?). Sims are not perfect but that one kicks **** for helis and you'll learn much faster, and on your own transmitter

Last time I was there Bob I was overtaking those all the time, towns, main roads, everywhere. Even the "main" road from Brasov to Constanca.
