I got interests, things I like to do and try my hand at.
I mainly prefer designing and building things. But at the moment I design them and get my mate to build it cause he got the tools and skills. Waiting on 3 things to come back. Really looking forward to them, 2 for the car and 1 for a bell tent. I'm currently trying to generate funds to purchase a metal lathe and vertical milling machine so I can start building my ideas my self without having to send them off to a third party. But till that happens I will have to carry on enjoying my riding, cars and electronics. I made this. http://youtu.be/dO9D3dHJ-E4?list=UU_...h41ZgHnHsdASvg

Hmmm
Ex Group N rally driver still love my cars Mk2 escort rallying favourite Also used to build scale rc planes biggest being a Spitfire with a 14ft wingspan . Used to fly my night hawk replica helicopter with Raptor internal running gear and a bad ass gyro that would hold a head wind of 15mph ! Oh and I like tinkering with A8s of course ![]() |

Another RC plane addict here
![]() Here is one of my better flights, hope its not too boring. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rb_LBa_5cn8 I probably spend almost as much time putting power systems together and testing as I do flying. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Lcrc5EvO3k I just repainted one of my older jets. They are very small only 70cm long Respect to Guy, 14ft Spitfire, I'd be too scared to fly that. Last edited by Goran; 7th August 2014 at 02:09 PM. |

Goran youd be surprised how easy it is to fly large models. Its easier then jerky small light planes. Thats why I want to build 130-160inch model. They fly better, slower, predictably....
That music box is very nice, and ingenious too.... 14ft Spitfire...wow.Would like to have that.One of my favorite planes.What engine did it had? Reduction from Mick Reeves? ![]() Danny |

![]() Its amazing how far technology has come, now you can buy a tiny plane weighing 38g with all the rc gear in there, motor, battery, elevator, rudder, some even have ailerons too. They fly very well for such small planes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPbIRGqiHkU Oh! and batteries, that was the main thing! the batteries. When I was a kid everyone flew petrol engines, because NiMh batteries (dont even think about lead-acid) were too heavy and could not provide much current. Now when Lithium Polymer batteries appeared it was a game changer. Now I can draw 25A reliably from a 850mah capacity battery, its almost hard to believe. Most household appliances are limited to 13A! Last edited by Goran; 8th August 2014 at 08:46 AM. |
