Thanks Mr Kermit, it may never fly (being too heavy) but it’s kept me amused.
I’m just about finished so if you need a hand sorting out some of your planes this may be the right time. don’t think the weather is improving any time soon !!.
I’m expecting a call from the old Sheep Shagger as soon as his bits turn up, to sort out his FPV plane.
Looks like a fine spot for flying (or RC dune buggies) but a bit hard for sailing, also the sand tends to wear the paint off the keels !!
Glad you are enjoying yourself GG.
I can still remember (just) when I used to be that keen, rain, hail or shine we would be down there sailing regardless.
At least we were smart enough to sail from inside our cars long before the rain got that heavy.
Anyway, nice to see someone is keeping up the tradition of a Saturday Sail @ the canal, AND producing a video to prove it happened.
Well done Mr Kermit.
Posting Videos.
Would everyone please note (including Mr Kermit), you can’t post videos in the Calendar. They get deleted by the system, in fact ALL calendar entries get deleted after 30 days have passed, to cut down on storage requirements.
Great quality video Gerald. Digital is definitely far superior, just a shame about the content. You need to get up & out a bit to find interesting content for that great camera.
Apart from the OSD its hard to pick any video degradation between the plane recording & the controller on the ground.
Given that it’s over a year since I started to repair the Mini Cub (June 2023 till August 2024) I thought it about time to finish it (you know I can’t rush these things).
The first order of the day was to try & set up LW-PLA profiles for the recently acquired Bambu Lab X1C as I intend to sell the Artillery Sidewinder printer that the original was printed on.
Anyway, after a couple of failed attempts I got everything working & printed a new main wing, to replace the original broken one.
No real dramas with that, so onto the painting
Even got round to printing & installing the correct Logo (before I prang this one).
Hopefully ready to take to the skies again tomorrow, 14 months (almost to the day) from when it last flew (and died).
Well done with the video again this week Mr Kermit.
Nice to see there were no PC gremlins attacking you this week.
I can do Friday, shouldn’t be too bad in the morning but a tad windy after lunch.
Then again its Tassie so anything could happen by Friday.
Looking forward to trying out the Beaver again.
