  1. Well it looks as if flying is off the cards at the moment. Total lock down in my part of the world. Flying clubs are locked with a $75.000 fine for any one found on the field.So I hope everyone has building materials on hand and plenty of time to spare.Cos I did so hope to get in some more flights with this model Happy Landings.

  2. Very smart thinking using the plans to give you the change of colour line on the side of the fuz.Good one. Chris...
  3. Malcolm... That's a very nice colour scheme....and do I see wheel pants. Chris...
  4. Rich Thanks again for posting the video. I'm not sure of any blocking...I can see this video here OK . Chris..
  5. Well I'm ready ..just tell the "good flying weather "god's Chris,,,
  6. After a couple more successful flights it became apparent that I had problems seeing this model.Duck egg blue was very good fo the underside of a spitfire but possibly not the best idea for an autogyro, and so I have added a pair of contrasting colour wheel pants and some large decals to give me a fighting chance .I live with hope. Chris...
  7. Rich It's a bit embarrassing that I missed that ...and it's also a bit of a worry that you have only now just mentioned it.BUT the good news is that it does not matter how you put it ...it still fly's. Zimmer frame racing is quite a spectator sport in this part of the world and has even been mentioned as a future Olympic event. Chris...
  8. Managed to get one test flight in today. t'was one of those non event flights .,compared to some that can be a real handfull. Point into wind ,allow the head get up to a nice speed... apply a little throttle and it lifted up as if going up on an elevator. I hardly realised that it was airborne..... all controls felt very light and was a pleasure to fly followed by a helicopter landing in about an 7-8 mph wind. Hope to get video later but unfortunately it was pretty overcast today. Today I went with an ROG compared to my usual hand launch as I injured my shoulder in a Zimmer frame race with one my friends . our wheels made contact and we hit the dust . Happy Landings Chris...
  9. Looks pretty good in the wind and I like to play in the wind. Chris...
  10. Rich. OK ..all good... I have all the bit's Chris..
  11. Rich Re servo...do you think it requires slim servos or did you just use them ….cos.. you had them ?? Chris...

  13. Nice one Rich...I am impressed with its handling...did I mention that I liked it . Happy Landings Chris...
  14. Mr hand launch....I like that . Well I'm glad you can still see the video ..cos all I get is a black box must be a location thing...……. Chris...
