 Wayne, out of pure curiosity, what happens to all the stuff you are sent to review once you have finished with it?

Wayne, out of pure curiosity, what happens to all the stuff you are sent to review once you have finished with it?

So far, most of the stuff is still with me ready to go (I tend to buy a constant stream of XM+'s so things are ready to fly)  The majority of the toy-grade RTF's ave been passed on to friends who were interested in the idea, or have a child that is interested.

Going forward though, if I keep getting review stuff at the same pace, then I run out of a) space and b) any likelihood of flying all of them.  At this point I'm not quite sure what I do.

FREE GIVEAWAYS! Opera Winfrey style... :P

With apologies for derailing the thread. The only with this is that the cost of sending the things around.  My analytics also tell me that 60% of my viewers are in the US which is then more expensive as far as postage goes.  I know a few other guys with similar sized channels that use Petreon for givaways, and the money from it to fund the postage :)  Not sure I like the patreon idea personally... I'll hoard for now and decide about things later.

Yeah I was only joking, that kind of thing would only be a pain in the ass for you I can imagine.

I am in the 40% and would gladly pay the shipping for something I wanted. Having said that I have over 24 models ready to go, some very large, and I probably only fly the same 2 or 3 week in week out.

My DJI RE Goggles are here, I'll be testing them with my various aircraft after charging them. ;D

I'm glad they do them in black as well, not keen on them in white.

BushMule :)



Also got a spare 9x transmitter + receiver, and a VikCam 4K action cam - seems pretty nice to be honest.

And ordered another Runcam Owl Plus FPV cam with my winning from yesterday - £75 off a £5 bet which paid out early due to a special offer if they went 2-0 up.... and the team I bet on (Burnley) didn't even win in the end - score :)

Absolutely charge for the shipping, that's fair.

Nice one Steve, especially on the bet, lucky bugger :)

At last, the post... this got sent out a few weeks before Xmas, so I was expecting them ages ago... but y'know.. the post.

Just for revenge the postman decided to sit on my parcel (it was crushed like this on the underside of the box as well)



Happily, I can't spot any actual damage.  Anyway the stuff here is the Diatone Tyrant S, the DiatoneGTR90 and another singing Santa drone.  This is actually not the santa drone we'd talked about, as I'd already looked at this for geekbuying (I think) so this will be a hack attempt... can I make it play any other music ?
