grams – That sounds more like it.

I think you may have a “k” too many Stephen, with 900kg of thrust you would be dragging the bench across the workshop.

Good info here Ron

Another fine production Mr Kermit.

[Predator]

Well it’s certainly very colourful.  With a bit of luck Monday or Tuesday may be OK for a fly.

It’s getting close now !!

All the deck fittings have turned up from the Radio Sailing shop and even the new alloy rudder arm arrived today from downtown China.

 

Just as well I have high ceilings in the Rumpus Room because even so, fully rigged, I only have 50mm clearance from the mast crane to the ceiling.

With a bit of luck & a stiff breeze the deck should go on this weekend (hopefully).

I got some 24 hr epoxy with a 1 hour pot life to epoxy the deck in place, figured it was never going to work out well if I tried with the 5 minute epoxy that I’ve been using to date for the build.

Thanks all, it just seems that the viewers like to see grown men playing with toys in the water !!

This weeks results.

[Predator]

Glad you are on the mend. Should be perfect by the time we fly again.

Very nice Chris, I’ve added your entry to the voting page, cant have our one and only foreign correspondent missing out on a chance for the weekly GMA.

It was another great day for flying today @ the field. From tomorrow we are in for another week of rain (again) so it may be a while before we are out again.

Andrew’s foamboard Spitfire flew perfectly today, its got a bit more power than the one Ron built so flies a lot faster but both of them appear to fly very well.

Ron has a new model under construction at present so it should be flying by the next time we head out.

I’m pretty happy with the current camera setup in the Tech Pod (finally) so now I can move on to installing the down facing camera and then the FPV gear.

The bits I had on order from the Radio Sailing Shop turned up for my A Class Wizzle Wozzle RC yacht today so with a bit of luck I’ll finally get it finished over this next wet week.

[Predator]

Ok, looks like all the videos are now posted so the voting page is open for 48 hours.

[Predator]

You may be out of luck today Kermit as I don’t think Gerald got any video at all today so I guess no GMA with only one entrant even though I will have 3 entries eventually.

[Predator]

Yes Ron, after many attempts & modifications I am now happy with the video quality & I even did it at 50fps so it wouldn’t stutter for Hoppy !!.

[Predator]

Another Fine video Gerald, thanks.

[Predator]

Yes, well deserved Kermit, another quality production from Toad Hall, and the donuts no doubt helped.
