Clear for Take-off - Friday Morning?
Discussion
Heading up to Quadra road runway for a spot of flying on Friday morning if anyone wants to watch me crash?
Will be taking the Learjet, F-15, Tigermoth and maybe some others if they fit in the Figo.
Have an FPV camera too so spectators can check out my crashing from a (minature) pilots point of view...
Have a really nice drone that might be airworthy at that point as well....

I might be tempted, what time?
I'll leave at about 7am, be flying by 7.30Up Quadra road, past the Arabian Ranches, over the 611 Bypass road, straight at 1st roundabout where the cyclepaths hang out, left at the 2nd roundabout.
I have readied:
Parglider
Ultralight (Hobbyking Quicksilver)
Twin EDF F-15
BAE Hawk Red Arrow
LearJet
QR-x350 Quad
Have a zillion batteries on charge and several tubes of epoxy. should be a good morning's crashing.
Good to meet you Hans.
A reasonable day's flying. And I use the term 'flying' loosely....
All aircraft glued back into single pieces an ready for next Friday
Even the blue F-15 that looked terminal is ready to go. 2 full tubes of epoxy on that one.
The FPV goggles seemed to work well, although I don't think I'll be using them myself on the jet, maybe something a little more sedate for my first go flying from 'inside'.

Yes it was an entertaining couple hours, my son was telling his friends about the plane crash that he saw, I had to reassure their parents it wasn't a real one.
Glad you fixed up the F15, I wasn't sure what I was more scared of, my car or your plane getting dinged.
I will definitely be around for more action, I might even un-box the Trojan.... (I will park my car behind the sand dune)
Thanks again...

dead easy to find del. going from the ranches go past the big roundabout at the end of the cycle track and turn left at the next one. the road goes over a cattle grid, up the hill and there he'll be.
should be up ther mate as can't do the trackday now. also placing my order as we speak for the monocoupe as my card wouldn't work in the US.

Anyone that comes gets a free FPV ride in either a Tigermoth or F-15.

What time would you be there Dan? Tempted (if I can get out of the house) to pop up rather than running the race bike at the track day (which is being held during the day!).
I will be leaving for the proper airport at about 5:30am to drop the daughter off on a big, real aircraft. Then heading straight up to Quadra aerodrome for some polystyrene fun, so will probably be around from 6:30 or so. Maybe closer to 7am.

I may come and have a look and bring my katana-hurriedly attempting a to fix a few loose connections right now-mainly due to running out of talent at precisely the wrong time.....
Let me know if you need any bits or pieces - I have about 3-4 destroyed aircraft from which to salvage parts Servos, wires etc.oilydan said:

Much appreciated....it's actually surprisingly intact bar for a loose servo, and a 10×4.7 prop- I know I have spares, I merely need to locate them.......and my batteries, and my charger! Servos, wires etc.Gassing Station | Middle East | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
