Thanks Ricky, no doubt I’ll find out soon enough.

[Predator]

Should be easy to see at least

[Predator]

You certainly were busy with that camera Mr Kermit, did you actually get any flying time in?

[Predator]

It must be a day for short clips today.

I started the day off not feeling my usual cheery self & it didn’t improve as the day wore on.
Consequently I got very little footage “around the field” today but I’m sure Kermit will pick up the slack just this once !!.

At least I did manage to assist in finding the Moose’s lost Razor by using the built in RSSI on the Taranis as a direction finder (harks back to the old Ham Radio Fox Hunt days)

Due the the wind & feeling unwell I opted not to fly the 3M Fox glider that has finally been set up for FPV flight. Having not flown FPV at all for around 12 months & the fact it was rather windy I opted to leave the Fox packed in the car and wait for another day.
Did get several flights though with the “Sky Shadow” wing and a couple with the BumbleBee glider so the day was not a total waste.

Another nice “Kermit BBQ” was enjoyed by all @ lunchtime. Thanks Mr Frog.

[Predator]

Yes, well done Mr Frog.

[Predator]

The rest of my videos from Saturday

[Predator]

Nice one Hoppy.

 

Here is my first couple of videos

The rest will probably not be up till tomorrow as we are heading out shortly.

[Predator]

Well one thing we couldn’t do was put the smoke & fire back in your battery.

Bit like a Genie in a bottle, once you pop the cork it’s never going back in.

Electrical/electronic smoke is the same, once you let it out of any sort of electrical/electronic device you can never ever get it back in there again !!

[Predator]

Having not been able to find a replacement Dummy Motor for the Slow Poke (for the RHS that I lost when flying on Wednesday) there was nothing left to do but design & 3D print a replacement.

Here is my slightly modified design.

All good to go again.

[Predator]

Anyone would think that Kermit is a changed man frog, what with all these accolades he is espousing.

[Predator]

Well, Kermit gave the seaplane flying his best shot & actually got airborne off the water & landed back on the water, unfortunately the flight between the two was around 10 second (last week, not this).

As for Swamp Dawgs, Bad Angel made all sorts of promised but unfortunately never showed up.

Still plenty of water about for this weekend.

[Predator]

Yes Hoppy, I will have to agree with your comment. If we were still awarding the GMA (which no longer exists) then this week Kermit would definitely be the winner. Most entertaining both on video & around the field.

[Predator]

With regard to > 20:42, I think they call them “Foo Fighters”.

Another quality video from Toad Hall Productions, thanks Mr Kermit.

With you spending that much time on your camera it’s a wonder you got any flying in at all, but then again with all the mishaps that befell you yesterday perhaps it was just as well your flying time was limited !!

[Predator]

Thanks Tug, hopefully when finally released & available in Au they will be a better price than that listed in USA.

[Predator]

With regard to your first video, a quality production Uncle G if ever I saw one.
I guess the Frog is rubbing off on you !!

With regard to the second, All that smoke but NO FLAMES, very disappointing.
