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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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?

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

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...

Hi all, My regular site is semi only, and that's fine - it's CQB, and it suits it fine. That said, being a proper newbie to the sport, I'd really like to experience it, 'just to see'. Are there any sites around my neck of the woods that anyone knows of that do allow full auto? Cheers

In fairness, that's not quite what monetarism is, or at least it's only half the story. You have (as I know you full well know, Ian!) classical economics theory [do nothing and every economy will home in on perfect equilibrium of supply and demand, notwithstanding a few expansions and...

Thanks both - really useful. Shinobi - I presume it's NiMHs, but the whole thing is covered in electrical tape, and I can't really tell. Is there any other way for me to tell/anything else it's likely to be?

Hi all, I've just got my first AEG, and the charger that came with it is the regular 'unplug at the allotted hour' type (though doesn't anywhere tell me when the allotted hour might be, which is a bit frustrating), and I had heard online about how you should buy a smart charger before you buy a...
