I’m sure the Grasshopper will turn up.
Not sure if Ill make it tomorrow, have a repair job at my daughters first thing.
Don’t forget to message Greg.
Chris, I have uploaded the GoPro footage to my Google Drive & sent you a link. See what you can find.
GoPro is only set to 720P at present to get better distance.
Must say I was a little disappointed, just watched the B ad Angel’s video again just to check out his choice in Country Music, should have known – NONE!!!
You will have to put whiskers on it soon, like a cat.
If the whiskers wont fit through the hole, the plane won’t either !!
I agree Hoppy, a nice Country sound track would set it off nicely, and I need to delete some of the pics (too much duplication). Maybe I’ll do it again once I finish all the other footage.
Mr Frog, whilst no one would disagree that the onboard footage from Hoppy’s Drifter running a slalom course through the trees on a windy day definitely gets the old heart pumping I take exception to the awarding of the prizes BEFORE all the entries are in. I know I’m a bit slow but you cant rush creativity, it takes its own good time.
The soon to be published footage of a very patriotic Flag Drop and the the chase sequence between a Bixler & an Eagles is to die for. Just you wait, and wait, and see.
The A3 was just small enough to fit on top of the original ESC bracket but this time I’m mounting the ESC on its side under the tray with the stabiliser on top.
All drops in from under the wing so easy to get in and out.
This view is upside down, the esc cable ties onto the tab which drops down through the top plate into where there is plenty of cooling air flow & the stabiliser mounts on the flat top. Rx will go back where it was on the side of the fuselage under the plate.
My Li’l Eagle repairs are well under way after its “Down is up & Up is expensive” episode at the end of flying yesterday.
The timber gear tray was trashed so I designed & printed a new one which seemed easier than stuffing around repairing the old one.
Fits just like a finger in a bum.
Now working on the bracket to hold the ESC and the A3-V2 stabiliser.
With the new gear tray installed the central body has now been glued back together.
The damaged aileron has also been repaired
I’ll leave them overnight for the glue to dry properly then tomorrow repair the battery tray & front wheel mount and she will be all good to fly inverted once again.
