But for the over 50's, weaned on; Meccano, AirFix, Keil Kraft kits, balsa cement, Macclesfield PAW diesel motors, clockwork escapements, and Futaba servos... who are perhaps, rekindling innocent creative skills, I've good news; Chiang Rai has "Anna's Hobby shop" on the old Phaholyotin road. Please teach your progeny the joys of making and assembling objects with; bare hands, glue, nuts and ever-so-tiny bolts. You'd think it'd be no trouble to find a nicad pen-cell battery box in the digital metropolis of CR... think again! It took me three days. I couldn't look in MegaHome because my, "Leave Me Alone!" t-shirt was being washed. The Chinese electrical audio shop in town, said "Mai-me", the ubiquitous "Advice" bods shook their heads in unison, similarly, stalls hawking flashing LED strips, and windscreen-wiper blades sent me home empty-handed. But Anna had one, for 40 baht. (Cf, Lazada's costs 18 baht, plus 29 baht postage, with lashings of +very greasy+ adverts and spam, spam, spam... no thank you Laz!) Whilst handing over two greenies, I noticed trays of DC motors from 3 to 24 volts with adapters for propellers, and drill bits. So get your soldering iron and scalpel out, and start educating young Bertie. And if you need anything, remember Anna (and her brother) know what an aileron clevis is, speak good English, and can be reached via; LINE: ANGANG8199 062-8239822 Btw: No vested, jus'-doin-my-bit for millennials ???? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
