    company's biggest customers is Kenya - they provide the towers etc and even in Mozambique you can buy a sim card at any old isolated store and connect quickly. Not sure the Mongols don't either.............. They ride motor bikes a lot nowadays instead of horses & camels too...........

    Old times
    Lost out in our house JB - elder brother used to keep as his privilege - until a complaint to mother at breakfast made sure he shared - shared a clip to the head afterwards too - not much love lost there........... Shame those simple toys no longer exist - suppose they would be sniffed at by the young generation - seen a 5 year old wandering around with her own

    "Wanted to show a pic but I have forgotten how to copy from my
    cellphone
    and put on new MB website." Hi Tertius, don't know how you'd do that just using the phone, but ... If you connect it to your PC via USB it should appear in your Explorer as an external drive. Then just copy pics to a directory on the PC and go from there as usual. Be sure to use a USB cable provided by the phone manufacturer. Other cables may be OK for charging, but not for data transfer.πŸ€” If your PC doesn't recognise the phone try another cable. Cheers, Doug 😎

    Motor, speed controller
    Thought of building a simple Springer type tug as a rescue boat as there is no club locally - so sail on my own. Tried using my old Lindbergh tug quite often, can handle bad weather and has a surprising amount of power from a 7 pole (old printer) motor, but the pointy bow makes it difficult for rescues although it has worked from time to time. Any ideas on how to control the motors on a springer from a single speed controller as ESC,s are not only difficult to obtain they are also b..... expensive here. Perhaps I should try servo switching as I have a large stockpile of those. Have two ideal 380 motors , shafts props etc from a RTR toy type but of course the Radio/ ESC is not very much use beside being the multi channel 27 mhz type which even my
