    Radios. What do I even want..?

    Ah - I'm with you. Sorry, I appreciate that I didn't exactly make that clear. No - I realised the business licence was one way of doing it. The Foundation Licence, I believe, is another, and is cheaper (but harder work - involves 10-12 hours of training and an exam). The antenna change was...

    Radios. What do I even want..?

    With the greatest due respect, I don't think I'd missed the point at all..? What makes you say that? I appreciate the licenced route, or the PMR route. We're just talking about different licences. The Foundation Licence from the RSGB (well, trained by them, licensed by Ofcom) covers all...

    Radios. What do I even want..?

    Thanks guys. It seems the answer is to find my nearest radio club and do the Foundation Licence, then get the Baofeng with a different antenna (if I've understood that right). Cheers.

    Radios. What do I even want..?

    Thanks Baz. I was aware of the legal requirements, though it seems to be a bit of a moot point in that I've loads of people who run Baofengs without being caught. I don't think Ofcom have the manpower or the inclination to pursue your average airsofter, though I don't doubt it's a bit like...

    Radios. What do I even want..?

    Hi all, I like the idea of a radio. I don't play as part of a regular team - just walk-ons, but the idea of having radio comes is appealing. Now, the problem is, of course, that I need a variety of compatibility, I guess... The Baofeng UV-5r looks good, and I'm not worried about the legal...

    (Random) BB containers - What's your preference?

    Exactly this for me. I don't spill any filling hi-caps, and have what looks like a flexible camo canteen that someone made and sent with a gun I bought. It has a coke bottle neck and lid glued into one corner and I was highly skeptical when it came but it works great in the field - not that I...

    New to this - barrel upgrade

    Thanks to all for their input and contributions. I really do appreciate you taking the time to reply to my numpty problems. I've been waiting for a few things to arrive - some low resistance cable, and a signal wire for my Gate mosfet, and thought I'd do everything at the same time, but in the...

    New to this - barrel upgrade

    Well, I don't really want to change the hop up, but Sitting Duck made the point that if one is changing the barrel, there's an advantage t doing that with the whole hop unit etc so you can just swap them in and out if it all goes wrong... Gun is a cyma in a T&J tactical body.

    New to this - barrel upgrade

    Hi all, Never changed anything in an AEG before, except recently moved my battery pack to the crane stock on my tactical AK. So - I have a Mad Bull 6.03 barrel to fit. I read Sitting Duck's advice about fitting a new hop up unit/bucking at the same time, which makes sense. I just wanted to...

    New to lipo - charger doing my nut in...

    There are 4 pins but it says 2s-3s so I presume the right conversion lead will get round this..?

    Think I've sorted it. It seems to be a 'flight power' connected, and my guess is I need this lead: http://www.componentshop.co.uk/flightpower-male-to-jst-xh-female-balance-adapter-leads-for-2s-7-4v-battery.html

    Yeah, I don't think it's a bad one - it's this: http://www.multiplex-rc.co.uk/multi-charger-ln-3008-equ-192-p.asp They seem to be well respected. It just doesn't fit..!

    Hi all, Have finally sourced a charger off ebay and wired it up, only to find that the balance plug on the battery doesn't fit the RC charger. Grr. Any suggestions?

    Advice needed on lipo charger

    What's the advantage of the B6 over the one I linked to? Just wanna make sure I understand. Cheers

    Advice needed on lipo charger

    Hi all, I'm moving from nicads to lipos. I have a mosfet, and a 7.4v battery which is wired nunchuck style so that it will fit in the crane stock of my tactical AK. THe thing is, I'm a bit baffled on what to get for a cheap charger. The cheap ones seem to either come without a UK plug, or are...
