We just get some, I know, only a TT-02 but I love this body..... Tamiya 47526

Finally I found time to install the GQRX SDR Software on the Raspy. So everything works together, the Raspy with the SDR Software, the DMR Hotspot and the Meshtastic receiver. Yes the antenna cable is much to heavy, but I only had this at the moment in the office.... sorry the picture is not really high quality

this two are waiting for a service but they are already in a great condition. I think year is around 1982.

So I made this Car Mesh thing a couple of days ago https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7350259, so only for information, I used a bigger antenna and it works great and nothing broke. Even after one week with daily drive on the swiss autobahn with 120km/h.

The antenna I used is this one "40cm", maybe there are better around but I'm realy happy with this one:

I managed to get the original speakers LFD 3428 and a original advertisement page from a hifi magazin. Restored everything, belts, caps, etc. Not the best high-end sound but looks nice. Year around 1972 - 1974.

So this is was my rescue boat, the Aeronaut Ramborator for flipped over powerboats, sailboats which are waiting for wind, etc., now sold....

Some time ago I made a few things for the 8-track music format. If you are interested, you can download it at Thingiverse for free.

Use at your own risk ;-)

Just wanna show my playground, don't ask but I like tapes and 8-tracks...

Again something to play around, so this is my idea for a car-mesh-receiver, Meshtastic or Meshcore. The antenna is to short but I had only this one left. I also drove on the Swiss Autobahn with 120km/h and nothing broke.

You have to test it by yourself, use different antennas, etc. this is an idea, not a finished product. If your interested, you can download everything in Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7350259

It works with a Heltec V3 and a 1000mAh Lipo and I think you need tho use ASA, PLA will melt in the sun. The bracket which goes on the window is for 4mm glass, you have to try it, I put a tape over the bracket to keep the cable in place. Use at your own risk, don't blame me when something breaks. ;-)
Because I wanted the USB cable on the bottom side, I added a USB charging board.

Around 20 years ago we made this thing, I can't remember what kind of an engine it was, I think a Rotax 125cc 2-Stroke, looked cool but drove like shi..... after one run, the car flipped over..... just found this old foto

One of my stupid ideas, I made this a couple of years ago and never run that thing. I think this summer I will give a try..........

Video shows only the igniter, no rocket motors are installed.

I was wondering how this quite cheap solar things work, I had this old Lilygo Lora32 laying around and I made a better holding bracket instead of this double stick tape which is original installed.

As batteries I used those ones:

Yes i will mount a better antenna 😉

Krick in Germany also announced a new ship kit, at the moment no info's about the delivery time.

I'm quite happy that some one brings a new working ship in the rc ship marked 😄

There is this Amewi Tractor availbale https://www.hobbyshop.ch/retro-traktor-mit-rauch-und-licht-4wd-1-12-rtr-amewi-22764.html?srsltid=AfmBOoprA8ssw7jz1bllTAhYoAz_pI0M1DM50E__Ppb5aK-WtWwZ6WW4

One of my colleague changed this thing to a typical swiss tractor, they use this kind of vehicles mostly in the alpes.

Maybe your interested, Aeronaut released a new RC boat kit, the Azzurra, length 550mm.

As a lattle project, I think this looks realy cool.

I had some other repeaters on the roof in this tubes for years and they still work fine. Now I had this older Lilygo T3 1.6.1 laying around so this thing ends up as a Lora APRS iGate....
Firmware by CA2RXU you can find it here:

A few days ago I made this triple receiver https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7338939 for experimenting, I know the antennas where too close and I didn't know how the Heltec works together, like I wrote, this was just to play around. Also I got a lot of requests about a dual version for Meshcore and others, so I made a new design.

In this version you can switch only one receiver on an the other off and only use the one you need. So no receiver goes blind when one is sending. Please also note, you have to test that thing by your self and use it an your won risk.

I put everything on Thingiverse, also the info's what you need:
