Clear for Take-off - Friday Morning?

[oilydan]

I had ruined everything that could fly by 9:30

Will be back next Friday for another thrilling installment, maybe with the B-2 Spirit Stealth bomber....

[oilydan]

Just about stuck this one back together after 3 years of sitting in the shed looking very crashed....



Have the Learjet back in (almost) 1 piece, it's mostly made of glue now but I have a body and wing set on their way from the US so I might take this one to the limit on Friday.

Tigermoth is back together, although I might look at some strengthening, those wings look mighty frail!!

The Red arrow will also be in attendance. Trusty, not crashing, one piece, Red Arrow.

Has Shirt got his Li'l Butch flight-ready yet?

I appear to have smashed the screen on my charger- I've had 2 Lipo's explode in the past...I'm not too good with fire, so stting it about charging.
if I wake up, I may bring my Katana, and dazzle you all with an exemplary display of how to turn an rc plane into talcum powder sized pieces.....

[shirt]

not even ordered anything as yet. rent + other expenses means my nbank account has taken a severe battering of late!

will be going cycling in the morning so will pop in and see how long you last this week! save the b2 for last as that will look good in a death dive.

I have LiPo chargers that I connect to the car battery if you cant charge it. Have loads of spare batteries too.

Talcum powder? Pah. I once had a Deprom Raptor that literally vaporized when I went from deck-level fast fly-by into a hard climb. Problem was that I was inverted so down was up and up was....the ground!

What time are you aiming to be there in the morning?

[oilydan]

I'll be there at about 7-7:30

That Learjet and the Tiger are back in flyable condition, believe it or not.

[scarebus]

How did it go Dan?

[K50 DEL]

Was a fun morning, though it got a touch warm by 9am!

Here's a few shots from the day.

Slightly off topic but does that Hobby Centre have model paints or is it all R/C stuff?

If not does anyone know where I can get model paints and brushes?

Toy Store in MoE; they have some Revell kit there.

I am heading up to Quadra on Friday to test my new huuuugggeeee powered glider for FPV capabilities, plus the T-28 and the Quad.

Need a cordless drill to make a hole in the road for the Bungee launch system if anyone has one? Failing that I have a 6 inch nail and a BFH.

I'll be there from 7am.

I am struggling this week- mainly as i havent got round to getting a new motor mount......

[Dusty964]

I'm leaving the office shortly, sure I can purchase something suitable.....

re ducted fans- it's supposed to be acrobatic, not supersonic!

[oilydan]

Had a great days flying a couple of weeks ago, the Trojan had another perfect landing, did some drone FPV and launched the very big one successfully.

Heading up on Friday morning if anyone is interested.

Hi

If I am up early enough, I may be able to make it there (still 9ish?)

May have two little kids in tow if that is ok to give my wife a rest! I think we may be seeing some places to rent so will need to check on what has been arranged.

Will be in a white Camry, looking lost and confused!
