My contribution from yesterday, just a bit late as often happens these days.
Getting old is a bitch eh Bodge.
Thank you oh mighty Green Tree Frog.
Not a bad video Mr Frog however rather disappointing to only see the Green Monster flapping on the end of the jetty like a flag rather than getting out amongst it.
Surely with your skills you can control the yacht & operate the camera at the same time !!
Well Gerald, your new wheels/tyres were of such quality that I thought they deserved a close up look.
Yet another fine video of the day’s going’s on.
Thanks Kermit
Yes Chris, I have one FrSky Variometer Sensor (High Precision) Smart Port enabled.
Oh well. just have to wait & see.
4 planes to maiden now, 3 wings converted to ELRS & the Bobber.
Well then, the Version 2 Savage Bobber (Lite) is finally completed & ready to Maiden.
I tend to think I may have gone too light this time and the whole thing may collapse with the stress of flying, oh well.
This time its around 1/2 the weight , all up flying weight is now 1080gm (inc 1300mAh 3S LiPo), it has a more powerful motor and now spins a 2 blade 8 x 4 prop rather than the original 3 blade 6 x 3 prop.
I’ve also beefed up the undercarriage & fitted fatter black TPU tyres in place of the skinny red ones.




The original, which would probably have flown well with this new motor/prop setup, is now hanging in Kermit’s museum dedicated to things that did & things that didn’t.
No good for me Wednesday as we are getting the carpets cleaned.
Looks like it will be a nice day so I expect lots of quality videos.
The onboard video is finally edited & just uploading.
Definitely looks like a Froggy hangout.
Not a bad video Mr Frog but the crowd on the jetty was sadly lacking in numbers.
Nice to see you win the best video this week, even if it was by default.
Perhaps I better get motivated & come down next Saturday, at least that way the calendar will get put up to let everyone know that sailing is actually on!!
Maybe I’ll start off small and either bring the Badger II or Imposter.
Ok Mr Kermit, it’s yours.
Nice video.
I wont be flying Friday as we will be up north at Agfest.
Could be available Thursday if weather is OK.
