Congratulations, Happy Birthday and all the very best! 
Will you be moving back to the UK or what? 
You have just been Sharapova'd.

"Or what" is more likely there are things I miss, but I'd never move back. Apart from anything else, there's my 4 grandkids. I'm visiting at the end of this year, that's quite enough!
Thanks!

Enjoy your retirement!
You'll be back - a week, maybe a month - it's code, daytime TV, or golf, and I know which I'd prefer!

Thanks Griff, it's been a blast. Maybe we'll get to swap sous vide recipes!

Hi Phil,
Congratulations on retiring (I think), and an early Happy Birthday greet !
I predict you'll "haunt" CP even more in the not-too-distant future.
cheers, Bill

Cheers Bill. Maybe, but I'm planning not to touch a keyboard for a while after today (OK, maybe next week!)

We have a(nother) T-Rex![^]
The 'small' T-rex 450 has had its maiden flight and performed so well that I could not tear it apart to put it into a scale body. And now I just could not resist the bargain offer to buy the larger T-Rex 550. It may be larger and heavier than the smaller one, but its 5kw motor still makes it faster.
Why don't we ever have adequate weather here?

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

Only one T-Rex for me, Mr. T-Rex[^]! Yes, he's based on Mr. T and a T-Rex, how awesome is that?

Some guy in China at the company which makes those helicopters must have been a big dinosaur fan.

5kw 
Is that a typo, or is kw not supposed to be read as kW?
With 5kW you can fly that thing like an airplane, without wings.
|

|

You are right, it should be kW. Sorry.
Electric motors are very strong. The real problem is the 5000 mAh 22.2 V battery pack that's depleted (not completely, just down to about 20%) in five minutes of flight.

Isn't that what helicopters are all about? The rotor blades are its wings and it can't stall because there always is air flowing over and under them.

I meant that with 5kW you can use the rotor as the airplane propeller and just not give a bugger that it lacks wings. 
5kW is a Lot of power for a 3 kg aircraft.

It's not soooo much[^]

Microsoft announced today the release of MS-DOS Mobile[^] as a free download for users of Windows-powered phones.
Will Rogers never met me.

Oh Wow!
I gotta get a Windows phone!

I can see it now - fighting with AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS settings to clear enough memory to run a new app or get the Bluetooth drivers to install. 
Contrary to popular belief, nobody owes you anything.

Never mind Bluetooth, you'll be fighting EMM386 to get enough base RAM to answer an incoming call!
... And then you'll realise you did need the sound card driver to hear what they were saying...

Hmm.
What does it say about me that I love DOS and hate bluetooth?
Nothing bad, I'm sure.

Now we can run Deqview on em!

Wow, what a walk down memory line.
If you poke bytes to address 0xB800 will the characters appear on the screen?

The technology itself or the gits who parade around with the silly Bluetooth earpieces holding very PUBLIC private conversations?
