Watched that yesterday - I was wondering how Remy RC afforded a giant hanger for his models!

Wish more celebs if they have STEM interests would be more public about it to get kids interested - the average age of my Arizona club must be 65/70 at least! The only other celeb I know who is into RC Aircraft is Vernon Kay
Hello BD, I hope all is good with you.

I’ve also wondered how Ramy has accumulated such wealth, as he clearly isn’t short of a bob or two.

I didn’t know that about Vernon Kay.

Mind, I was very surprised recently that Juan Pablo Montoya is an avid RC aircraft fan.

I followed Juan a lot when he was an F1 driver, and I had no idea he was into this. I was a big fan of Ayrton and knew he was well into his RC.

That is Tyler Perry house and "shed" and is rich from American actor, filmmaker, and playwright. I think he is building it for Tyler but I am sure has he some money but not huge! Want to know what his 30ft wing span plane going to be, The Spruce Goose but light enough to fly properly, maybe.

Good evening BD and others!

Another great night with the Acro. Confidence building all the time with every flight (that’s 4 now). And both landings tonight without breaking off the undercarriage.

I’d dialled in a bit more extra flaps on the aileron mixer which slowed it up much better. However, I’m sure you must understand at this stage, every flight is a ‘Test Flight’.

It flys awesome, the first flight was extremely uncomfortable. I was so nervous. However tonight I was really starting to throw it around.

I dunno if you can tell, but I fly from a mountainous ridge. I was having enough confidence to dive below the deck into the valley below and come out ‘ Mach Loop’ style!

I’ve got a few videos of the flights, but I don’t know how to upload. I guess this platform only caters for photos?

And I’d have to upload to a site like YouTube? And I haven’t got a clue about all that malarkey!
