Glad all is well again and it was not stones. By the way. If you have hard water (as in chalky) you would be wise to either a filter or not drink too much of it as just water.
Kidney stone is basically chalk drinking hard water could make them bigger!
A glass of water with a tea spoon of citric acid in the morning is a good help. Or a whole fresh lemon squeezed into the water. (real men just take the lemon juice as a shot!)
As for the blader infection. Jep got that. Cranberry juice (If you can get that in England ) is very good at beating that down.

Beat me to it Ian....good filter works wonders!

Stomach acid is made from about 2M hydrochloric acid Ian. Lemon juice won’t make much difference to that….doesn’t worry me though, I actually like eating lemon slices when they come in drinks…..in fact, I like all my citrus fruit on the sharp side :thumb2:
Cranberry juice is usually recommended for cystitis, so it must help bladder infections as well.

It does. Don't ask how I know...

HI ALL still in pain but had boaty mate over yeterday to see tiger all goin well everything worked ok bar that small 3 inch gun turret an ive now found out that some how the servo jammed an has now burned out so instead of me doin me ailerails on the hangar bay ive now got to rework that gun turret so its two steps forward an one step back an as this turret is comin to bits i may try an drill out the small 1 an a half mm orange led in the gun barrell then refit another in so i will have all guns firein but will see what happens an the gun turret below an the burned out servo an not lookin foward to takin this all to bits

Two steps forward, one back… Man, I think we can all relate to that!
I know you have the patience and skill to sort the turret Chris. As with all the hurdles in this epic build you’ve overcome every one of them.
Glad you’ve managed to get the meds for the infection and I hope you feel much better real soon.
All the best
Paul

HI Paul yes i suppoce every one can relate to goin forward on a build an then havin a prob got to go back an rework it as yes i have but its damm annouyin as when it all goes ok you think well thats that sorted an onto the next part of the build but then a prob hits like this an it hits the ole mojo in a big way but i suppoce this is my own fault as these are old servos that my brother had in his aircraft as he fly R/C ones an then came along the micro servo an he gave them to me as i thought thats saved quite a few quid so now ive got to take it all apart an fit a new servo an while im doin it i may try an drill out the bad 1an half mm led in the gun barrell an refit a new one so that i will have all four guns flashin but these leds are so tiny an the wire thin as a human hair so the wire will break very easy unless im lucky an can replace it wish me luck but still got that pain so it wont be today perhaps tomorrow as its not as bad a pain as it was so i hope the meds are working

[boatman]

an because the small led's are only 3volt i had to fit in a voltage reducer to cut the power down from 12v to 6v an i think this is causein a prob but i'll put on in a moment what the prob is after pics an the V/R is the black unit on the bottom right

[boatman]

an the gun fire unit with new wirein in an boy was i nervous as yes it proted with a fuse but things can still blow up

[boatman]

Now the problem is that now ive wired in the small 3 inch gun turret ive a prolem will tell in a little while as here just one gun flashin
