Another fine production there Gerald, and I just realised I missed my “Around the field ” video. Better get to it.
That is the way gentlemen discuss matters. There was no stirring intended or implied, just a statement of fact, promptly agreed upon by the recipient.
Live & learn Mr Frog, live & learn.
You could well be right Pete however even with lots of models, their purchase & maintenance still has to be way cheaper than a horse !!
Well there you go, and I thought it was just Robo Ron seeking some advice. Didn’t realise he had inadvertently started a new GMA competition !!.
Now Kermit, if you could just get them all organised & working you would have a marvellous collection.
Yes Ron, it’s a bit of an issue when you start doubling up on all your hanging models, makes for a problem when you want the other one.
Racking them up is the only way to go.
That way you still have room for the boats !!
and the cars
Unfortunately some cars & boats still have to be stored elsewhere
Admittedly I have significantly downsized both the boat fleet ( only 13 now) & the plane collection (only 17 now) but now at least it’s easy to get to whatever model you want.
Sounds like you have been busy Ian, looks like a couple more maiden flights could well be in order next trip to the Field !!
Great stuff, thanks Gerald.
Mr Moose will have his work cut out for him this week picking the GMA recipient.
Well done Chris, the very first Foreign Correspondent GMA.
I guess Kermit will be toddling off to Bruny Island & claiming FC status from there.
Nice bit of video there Chris, the slow pan turns out so much better with almost no motion blur.
Seem that you are enjoying yourself so I guess you’ll be staying a bit longer and it could be a while before we see you at the field again?.
You don’t need diapers, just a bucket, shovel & broom !!
Now all we need is Mr Moose to find us a nice flying day.
Having a few days of less than perfect weather has gotten me out of the garden maintenance and back onto some RC repairs.
The warranty replacement ESC for my Excalibur V2 turned up from Europe today so I have now been able to put the Grand Tundra back together (pinched the ESC out of it while waiting for the warranty replacement one from HK).
I’ve also taken the 17×8 GT prop off the Super Chipmunk and put it back on the GT and put the 16×8 GT prop onto the Super Chipmunk. It has always flown well with the GT 17×8 prop so if the smaller one is no good I’ll just have to buy another 17×8 for it.
The new 4S 2200mAh 40C battery turned up as well yesterday so I now have two 4S batteries for the Excalibur.
Also did a bit of fine tuning on the BumbleBee to get her flying nicely again and am just doing some minor repairs to the Sky Shadow wing after a hard landing a couple of weeks ago.
If the weather doesn’t improve I may even get back into the Tech Pod build and try to finish that as well.
A busy few days
