There is no stutter when I view the YT footage however I had the GoPro on the wrong setting so the file was not compatible with my editor necessitating a file conversion and that is what may cause the problem you see.
I’ll get it right eventually but in the meantime I just like flying the “Pod”
Another fine video from Toad Hall Productions, thanks Kermit & thank you for the donuts. Definitely worth a vote.
Voting is now open for 48 hours only.
I still have two Tech Pod videos to post from today but as they will be late (not till tomorrow) they won’t be included in the voting. I set the GoPro to the wrong format (again) so need to convert the files before I can edit them, I did have a quick peak and they look good.
I got the knob sorted for removing the servo arm without tools
and I’ve ordered a double ended alloy rudder arm with allen key locking
I think that is about all that can be done till the parts on order turn up.
I agree Gerald, they are similar to the twin rudders on “Double Trouble” and they also slipped as you know..
I will find something better before installing the deck but it will need to be double sided as I need a “push-pull” arrangement as the servo is now 320mm away from the rudder & I don’t want the control rods flexing. Also just realised that I need to fit a knurled knob to secure the servo arm so it can be removed without tools.
The arm needs to come off to remove the sail winch system.
It’s a work in progress & hopefully all bugs will be ironed out before the deck goes on.
Well there you go, I knew Alan for many years, he was in charge of the Hydro Depot at Sorell when I worked for them in Head Office (long long time ago).
Alan also used to sail with us @ Lauderdale and got us started sailing DF65’s @ Risdon Dam when they first came out.
As usual it sounds like a mighty fine day was had by all.
I really should extract the digit & get a new sailwinch for the 65 & get back to the Duck. Can’t spend all the time flying !!
I could have sworn that was Kermit (or at least one of his Flight School trainees) flying that!, especially the take offs directly towards the crowd & the parked vehicles.
Well Kermit, I thought your video was very good & I voted for you but I guess you didn’t “Splash the Cash” as the pollies say in appropriate quantities in others directions.
Better luck next time.
