Poor fella!. He'd be feeling gutted right now. Give him a break. Looks like his new toy can be fixed. Maybe he had too much air the tank and has learned something as most of us do, but preferably not the hard way.

And they say a "fool and his money are soon parted"

The above posts mentioning guality remind me of a sign I had on my office wall some years back, it stated...................... QUALITY IS AKIN TO BUYING OATS. If you wish to purchase good quality clean oats, then you have to pay a fair price. However, if you are prepared to accent oats that have already passed through the horse, they come a little cheaper.

The BS seems to always start with the on/off button.

Not sure whether this will ever make it to the market place. However, it's interesting to watch it's progress.

Great video. Loved it! Thanks for posting it.

And if the wife suddenly finds you constantly under her feet after your completion, rather than you being in the shed, they may even suggest a new build for you 😄

For so many like me who are now beyond the years where they'd dearly love to build, I for one, simply admire the determination to succeed like Marty and no doubt many others. I find it both inspirational, and also learn a lot along the way. Good on you guys, you deserve any positive appraisals you receive, and I so look forward to seeing the final results of your sometimes frustrating challenges and achievements. Rgds Planey

These are most interesting posts for many, i'm sure. Keep them coming.

Live that dream Bennyboy. That looks great. Gotta admit, i'm a bit envious, but sure you and the misses deserve it.

So that's what "fly by wire means" We learn something new most days!😄

That's sad. Looked beautiful both in the air as well as on the ground in one piece. Unfortunately, most who have been involved in model aircraft, know that sometimes tragic things happen. I used to reckon that any spare tissue that once came in a kit, was to wipe your eyes with when things went pear shaped.😂

Old farts like me, remember these things 👍

Love the paint job 👍

Remember, success if often achieved by those who have suffered some sort of failure, but continue to strive to achieve their goals, You'd be no different, and we're all confident you'll continue till you achieve something both you and others will admire with envy. It's all a learning experience from any mistakes and any tempory set backs. Love your work so far.

That looked pretty stable considering the angle of the wind sock

For those that didn't know, they were often known as "the flying greenhouse" due to the fact that some had so many windows.

Forget the ribbing from your mates on here.😄 That would have been great!

Progress is looking good mate. Remember "Gone with the wind" also took a long time to make, but was very successful in the end. Keep at it young fella! Mabel should love ya

Having been a "Mr Fixit" for many, many years, I love these sort of videos and always try to consider what I think the problem is before it's revealed in the video. Interesting stuff for anyone mechanically minded. Thanks for posting and keep them coming, as i'm sure it will help many others who are not quite sure. Always better to resolve problems while still on the ground, if possible.

I would love to have a go at that, but would need to borrow someone's good left knee.😀

Looks to be fairly good news for some, but really feel for those less fortunate.

I was in the area just after the last flood and that was sad enough for me to see. Wishing all in the area good luck and hoping that things are a little better for those affected. At least my daughter-in-law is up the hill and away from it all, even if they can't get down into town.
