Boxes of beer, wine and Baileys but then own brand Weetabix to save 50p?!

And no own brand Shreddies, weirdo!

Hicks · 23 Nov 2013 at 23:55

Weetabix is one of the few cereals that I'll buy the supermarket equivalent of. As for Cornflakes, Shreddies and Coco Pops, it has to be the real thing!!

Well Weetabix couldn't possibly taste more dire could it?

Bought this hat today, my friend said I'm not hanging with him if I bought it so I bought it and wear it everywhere muahaha.

Akagi · 24 Nov 2013 at 01:25

My hat from Canada is far better/worse (depending on your viewpoint)

Nate Silvers · 24 Nov 2013 at 01:30

hahaha Canada? PIC!

arknor · 24 Nov 2013 at 01:31

Nate Silvers · 24 Nov 2013 at 01:34

It's not got a proper home yet. I'll have to have a decent think of where it's going to be best placed.

My new DAP!

Big Difference?

LeeUK · 24 Nov 2013 at 18:52

Morrisons own make Shreddies taste just fine. Twice as much for half the price. Bargain too.

gitbags · 24 Nov 2013 at 18:56

I haven't been able to have a proper play with it yet, it's going back to china due to the hw play button not working

.
But from what little time I've spent with it, it's a nice sounding piece of kit and goes well with my grado sr325i and sennheiser hd25ii. Not so great with my se530's but I've only really enjoyed them with my cowon daps.

Bit of an update on yesterdays post with some better pics.

It had its first flight this morning.

Thats absolutely amazing - thats the sort of thing these threads should be about, interesting or oddball purchases that make a good discussion point. Makes a change from the trivial everyday rubbish. Tell us more about it!

Kosmiche · 24 Nov 2013 at 19:11

How do you land one of them?

How do you even practise landing one of them?

gitbags · 24 Nov 2013 at 19:19

Took me a moment to realise that was astroturf.

Looks like fun.

A few awful weeks at work, :mad:

so decided to treat myself yesterday.

Been a while since upgrading, but definitely cheered me up!

I'm not really sure what to say about to be honest. It has a 1.2 meter wingspan and weight about 1.5 KGs, is made of expanded foam, powered by 2 contra rotating electric motors. I'm not too sure about speeds as I'm unable to measure them.

You can get computer simulators that you can plug your transmitter into and practice. I was taught by an instructor at the local club using a 'buddy lead' so he could intervene if I made a mistake.

Landing wise I assume that it is not to different to a full sized aircraft. Point it into wind reduce power and lose height, pulling up slightly at the last minuet so gently lands on its wheels (most of the time).
