Hello, I am currently studying an extended diploma in health and social care. I was just wondering whether my gcses will hold me back. I have 5 A-C's, A in English, and c in maths and science.

Are my GCSEs good enough?

Probably a very common topic you're all sick of, but I just can't help myself and ask!

How many GCSEs are you going to have by the end of Year 11? I'm just curious as to what the average number of GCSEs people are going to leave with. Note that I mean actual GCSEs, not exams.

Does this count as two GCSEs?

I'm doing Edexcel Double Award ICT and I was wondering, does this count as two separate GCSEs or would universities consider it to be the same subject? My predicted grade is 'AA' which I assume means that they are two distinct GCSEs? Thanks :) Posted from TSR Mobile...

Auto-bailout Anomoly

Also posted in RCG. My Mezon autorotate bailout function has been a bit goofy. When setting up my Mezon 130 on a Goblin 630 Heli I noticed that if I select throttle hold while in my idle up 2 flight condition my motor goes into hold as is expected, but when I flip out of hold to go into auto-bailout, the rpm spools back up to is my low rp...

Throttle Hold during landing

My Throttle Hold pitch cure is set to all 50% (midstick) to decrease crash damage. When I land noticed when I hit Throttle hold heli would take slight jumping up. Is it due to ground effect and if so maybe I should swith TH back to linear 0,25,50,75,100. Heli would land better in windy conditions right? Using stock pitch curve. I hover in...

Universities distinguishing between IGCSEs and GCSEs?

Do they? I asked my school's head of Universities and he said no, however if they don't why would schools bother adopting them. I was at an international school for mine and felt I did reasonably well with 2A*s, 7As, and a C. However upon changing to a school in the UK it seems the norm was 5A*s for GCSEs. I was always told that IGCSEs we...

Am I good enough for the LSE?

Hi, I'm aware that a number of these threads emerge quite frequently. But, I'd love to attend the LSE, above any University in the UK, not for the money, mainly because of the prestige and its alumni. I'd be apply for Economics and Politics for my other Unis, but for LSE as Econ is super competitive, I'd just apply for Government. Am I go...

Sometimes I suck

Just venting. I've been practicing inverted hovering and a little bit of "flight", really just moving it around..back and forth, side to side, etc. Last night, I was flipping it smoothly and even in kind of a slow-motion, head-high, with little rainbows to go from inverted back to upright. It seemed like things were clicking pretty well.

GCSE equivalent

Basically, I didn't do GCSEs, however I did do , the equivalent I did is much much harder than GCSEs so the grades don't look as good. So I was wondering when I apply to uni and put down the grades I achieved will they play a big role in whether or not I will be accepted. My A levels are going pretty good at the moment and I think I'm cap...

Release throttle hold - goes full throttle

When I put in the battery and release the throttle hold, the heli spools up slowly to 75% throttle. Fly around, land and activate the throttle hold. If I release the throttle hold now, it tries to instantly spins up to 75%. Am I missing a step? Thanks.

Main Shaft to Main Gear Play

My 300X flies great. But after the flight I noticed that when I hold the main gear I can move the rotor head just a little back and forth. Is this normal? Once it catches in either direction it is solid. The main shaft is moving a little while I hold the main gear still, just a little back and forth. So the play has to be between the main...

Taking off in idle up

I'm not really a newb, but might as well be- been away from helis for three years while I did multirotors and am now getting back to it. Sort of a born-again heli pilot :) The amazing thing is how much there was to know, and how much I've forgotten. I've got a question about lifting off: In "normal" mode, it's no problem. Just turn off th...

Auto Rotation with 300X

I tried auto rotation with 300 X. I flipped the throttle hold switch to see how it behaves. Then I would flip it back, the motor turned on again and after 360 degrees rotation (Yaw) the heli would hold steady. However the third time I did that the heli went into constant spin and then lost power and came down with a little damage to the c...

Best Way to set Hold w/ More Pitch

I would like to have all flight modes the same except throttle hold to have about 2 degrees more pitch. I kno I can use bank switching but I use a dx7 and it only gives me 2 banks with gear switch which I would like to use for other things. The only thing I can think of is limiting norm.idle 1 and 2 with pitch curves and let hold go to 10...

GCSE Possible Extenuating Circumstances?

For my GCSES I went to a school in 'special measures' in years 9 and 10. In year 10 the pass rate for 5 A*-Cs was 34%. The school got shut down and converted into an academy for year 11. At the end of year 11 (my results year) it achieved a 5 A*-C pass rate of 40%. Would this potentially qualify me to apply through extenuating circumstanc...

Opinion on my BTEC Grade

I'm currently in my last year in college, studying BTEC Business. I'm predicted three distinctions but I think I will get a distinction* and two distinctions (D*DD). I want to get opinions from A-Level and BTEC students alike to see if they think these grades hold the same weight as their supposed equivalent, which is A*AA when using UCAS...

Castle won't hold speed with Ikon

I have just installed a Talon 90 with my ikon and cannot seem to get my gov to hold a speed on the bench. I believe that I set up the ESC correctly. I first set the esc to external gov and then set the end points in the radio first and then used the gov menu in the ikon to set my fixed end points. I can get the heli to spool up but first...

Wet lawn and MCPX don't mix.

Hit throttle hold and let heli fall about 8' into my lawn. About 3" high and wet from past rain and morning dew. Took heli back to launch table. switched off throttle hold and took off. Heli flew great for about 10 seconds then just shut off and fell out of the sky. Upon inspection, the esc light was off. Put another battery in and no dif...

Fusuno frames and grounding?

Okay my bad luck continues with me and Goblin 700's. my first 700 last year had a hard auto after a battery cable broke. Today I was flying and during tick tocks my tail started kicking real hard, I settled into a hover and had to back up about 100 yards to get back over the field. I thought maybe it was a lose belt so I was not real worr...

Motor shutters w throttle hold off.

Hey guys, a new problem has been developing on my X5. This is a X5 FES with ICE CC 100, CC BEC Pro, everything else is stock. About 8 flights ago, I clicked off throttle hold to start the soft start and the motor shuttered a little bit before it started to spin the main rotor. This first time it was only for about a half second. Well abou...

OEM Solid tail boom - no tail hold

I broke my stock hollow tail boom and replaced it withthe OEM solid tail boom (BLH3092S). Now I can't even lift off - the tail doesn't hold. I think the tail blade is spinning in the right direction. It's spinning into the main rotor wash (CCW, when viewed from the right hand side, tail facing you). The tail just won't hold. I unplugged a...

An unexpected take-off

Guys with the GPS upgrade. I have found something out today about it and it was NOT what I was expecting. When you have your bailouts set to altitude hold, or position hold, you are not expecting them to really do much unless the helicopter IS in the air at something other than ground height. Not so. By accident, I bumped my bailout switc...
