When I was dogsitting last week at the parents house I decided to bring some of my stuff back up with me (not that I have room for it). This is my favorite radio controlled vehicle, the Traxxas Rustler. It is over 10 years old now, but still screams. Bought a few new 1800 mAh batteries, threw them on the peak charger, and hit the street. Unfortunately after six years of sitting in my parents basement a few screws came lose and I broke a universal joint.. not to worry, should be back up and running in no time. Such a fun hobby. I wonder if our apartment would let me use my boats in the pool?

Opened as Forton, now known as Lancaster (Forton)
Trivia:
Very distinctive from the road- features a round tower that resembles a Air Traffic Control Tower, which originally was a restaurant, currently in use as offices. The tower is called The Pennine Tower.
An employee of Forton said that the Pennine Tower closed after complaints that it looked like an UFO when lit up at night and was distracting- (Sounds like an urban myth, but its a great tale, It is more likely that the services became too busy to handle the number of visitors- can anyone shed any light on this). Also we are curious to know when it closed?
Update: Eddy Rhead writes: "The tower is closed for that modern malaise Health and Safety! Apparently you need two alternative exits in case of a fire and with just one lift and one staircase coupled with a kitchen the risk is just too high."
We should have guessed it would be health and safety....
Eddy adds: " I have always said that come the end of the world and the human race has to start again, the early travellers will come across Forton tower in the middle of Lancashire and wonder at its meaning - in Planet of the Apes type thingy. Probably! "

These controls bring back fond memories of flights on Northwest to Hong Kong in the early 80s.
Unplugging my headphones at the end of the flight caused the entire control panel to pull off, but I quickly just shoved it back into place.
With the servo arm fitted in the neutral position the cottons were pulled back an threaded through the rudder control horn. Crossing in the fuselage but remainingg above and below the control horn to provid clearence at the cross over point.

A control panel for a washing powder packing line. Left for around 5 years this is the result. Sadly this nolonger exists other than on a scrap-merchant's pile.
