I think the problem now is that I am grieving for my former life now I am back at home, and the worries about providing for my family often feel all consuming. I just hope we can navigate a way through the coming years without experiencing a financial Armageddon.😢

I am no longer so sure that your last statement will be true in the end 😢Staying positive now I amback home and i I have so many worries for the future is just super difficult! I just can’t bear to think of the opportunities my kids may now miss out on because of this stupid affliction of mine! 😢😢

I am actually quite a health loving person, and was seemingly just unlucky, the most likely cause was a fall from my e whilst downhill mountain biking I have never been overweight or lazy wrt exercise either But my life is well and truly screwed up now as not even strong enough to open the fridge door and carry a coffee that I’ve made in my affected left hand and my strong right hand has for the moment to start on my walking stick as result I am almost totally dependent on my wife around the house. It’s prertt miserable tbh at the moment cap per by my 9 year old telling me at the weekend - your no fun now Daddy. The worst thing is I don’t disagree either I am no fun to be around, really, as I can never truly relax if I’m not working or doing therapy activities I feel like I am wasting time. That could be being used for those activities to keep us afloat financially and I can’t see me flying any time soon either without bring on a buddy lead with my Dad 😢 and I used to ea pretty good pilot. I doubt I will ever have the dexterity or strength to connect the EC5 connector s on my Sebart Miss wind either , and if I did how the heel could I ever fly it safely I blooming hate my damaged brain it is rubbish!!!

Don’t waste your time talking to these guys - they know well and good that that kind of flying is illegal. Instead grab your phone and take some video of the drone and pilot in question flying illegally , and call the police to report it too ! That is the only thing that will change their behaviour. In the long run

Agreed I remember it being quite simple and it was only the second model I’d ever built, though I did have my dad helping me!!

For me this purchase was not required, as flight performance and handling of this model will be relatively similar to your Easyglider; did that ever get assembled and flown? Matt.

I see whilst I have been away recovering from my stroke your one e man effort to keep uk Hobby shops in profit has continued!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

One thing we can say with confidence is that it would almost certainly be banned to nowas it will containtoo many dangerous/environmentally banned VOCs…!

Personally if you are planning on i power in the end I would just start with that, as you will need to mod fuselage length for electric!

Bear in mind balancing may be an issue with electric without lengthening the fuselage, as any modern lipo/ brushless setup will be a lot lighter than an ic setup.

Note - if you want you can also use film brown paper of you don’t like painting; it sticks really well to the pva in the brown paper layer!

I don’t think my 1.5m variant did way back in the early 90s , no

A Thing should be perfect for brown paper technique. I managed to find an old post I made on the subject after using it ~10 years ago on a number of models; always worked well, but there are a few “definitely don’t” things to remember! https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showpost.php?p=17091991&postcount=4

Cheap simple and quick!
