Yes, doesn’t take too much imagination to see the Eagle eye & beak, just look at the picture as a whole rather than trying to pick out individual bits and the Eagle head profile is right there.
Interesting.
I should at this stage of the proceedings say that “Ralph” has never approached “BumbleBee” with any thought other that a bit of play on his mind. He has always kept his talons furled and just floated around.
It does however always pay to be prepared just in case he changes his mind or even worse, one day it’s NOT “Ralph”.
Thanks for the post Ron, I changed your link to correctly display the video.
No wind eh, we must have had it all down @ the Flying Field.
Couldn’t have summed it up any better ” wet, wild & stupid”!!.
Much warmer & cosy @ the Model Boat show.
Funny you should mention escaping bulbs, that is exactly what happened a few years ago when I purchased my second hand Ragazza from Adelaide. Luckily the bulb escaped in the truck delivering locally in Hobart & after a couple of days the courier found it and delivered it unscathed.
Moose’s Razor looked a treat in it’s new red & white livery;
but unfortunately it still didn’t take long for him to lose it. The first time it came back by itself but the next flight it disappeared into the Never Never when the ZOHD RTH failed to operate (more on that matter later).
Moose & Stephen went looking but had no luck. After lunch I put my Ham Radio Foxhunting skills (from many many moons ago) to use and using the RSSI signal on Moose’s Taranis Radio I (ably assisted by Hoppy & Ricky) tracked the plane through the bush for probably over 1 Klm to where it had come down way over in the next valley. Apart from a small ding in one wing the Razor was undamaged.
As for the problem with the ZOHD RTH it turned out that Moose was flying on his old Bixler programming which was set up for a FY-41AP autopilot that uses 2 switches to control it. The ZOHD only uses 1 switch and that one was disabled.
The radio had initially been set up correctly by Uncle G but there were two Razor profiles in the radio (one by Moose & one by Uncle G) and as is often the case the wrong profile got deleted in a recent clean-up. A bit of reprogramming before the next flight & all should once again be working as per normal.
Well, no excuses now, we will expect to see many quality productions from Kamp Kermit in the future, flying & boating.
Hoppy was going to put up a calendar entry for Friday so lets hope this weather has all blown over by then.
