Craziest thing ever, he must get a lot of returns that way! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dannymulder 766 Posted February 21, 2019 19 hours ago, dannymulder said: NOTHING, today I stayed the whole at home waiting for my bullhead that wouldĀ be delivered today. Then I notice thatĀ the stupid delivery guy put a note I my mailbox Ā thats say I was not at home, so I was *******ed. The delivery guy thinks because we have a 9 monthĀ old baby, he gently have to knock on the door instead of use the doorbell, I was in my hobbyroom and leave al doors open so that I canĀ hear the doorbell. Its not the first time this happened so I called the post office to complain about it, then the postoffice tel me that they send the package back to the sender, then smoke was coming out of myĀ ears, normaly when your not at home the first time they come back the next day. I live in the Netherlands and I have bought ItĀ from a Austrian vendor, so now I have to wait again. After this story yesterday, I really don't know what they are doing at the post office, today I have got a unexpected email from the post office that my package was waiting for me at the pick up point, so I was total confused. So I was going to the pick up point not 100% convinced that my package was really there, and YES it was there. I got my bullhead today 8 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jonathon Gillham 4606 Posted February 21, 2019 Woken up this morning at some ungodly hour (7am, haha) by my son and dog because a courier had just dropped off a package. It seems we're lucky down hereĀ and don't have the same problems with post that you northerners do. Anyway, my 5m of sail material arrived so I just need to pick up eyelets from my mum (struggling to find little eyelets, turns out mum has hundreds in her sewing box) and I can make my sails. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThunderDragonCy 7881 Posted February 21, 2019 Shapeways delivery! Version 2 of the 3 deg toe in rear uprights for my Thunder Dragon to work better with the TRF arms. Hopefully improved version of the bearing steering set, also for the Thunder Dragon, and a protype 3 gear layback gearcase for the TRF211. Moves the motor rearward compared to the laydown I have. Hopefully give the car a bit more rear end.Ā 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

S-PCS 568 Posted February 22, 2019 Spent most of the week at home with flu-like symptoms... Not used to hanging around all useless and feverish. By Wednesday I was bored out of my mind and high on all sorts of cough syrup, and I vaguely recall keeping myself amused by dreaming up weird projects and filling various shopping carts... Seems I didn't stop at just filling those carts, 'cause the contents of one arrived today. Too bad I' m out of cough syrup and have no idea what clever project idea is represented here.Ā I guess I could build this as a Super Hotshot, use the truck for spares and get my small parts sorted out? Tools, of course are always good and there's a Boomerang chassis to fix the Insanerang. I'll start there and wait for several more shipments that are doubtlessly en route.Ā Ā 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonathon Gillham 4606 Posted February 23, 2019 My SkyRC TS120 arrived today, which surprised me since I only ordered it last Saturday and RCMart orders usually take a lot longer to get here. Its going in my Ultima but there won't be another 10th meet for about 6 weeks so theres plenty of time to get it fitted...which means in 6 saturdays time I'll be settling in with a beer and remember I haven't swapped it in yet... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
