Sheldon Holy Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Ok. Will it be from water... or of a dolly... of even a hand launch?? I really want to build something like this... BUT: 2 problems:1. i am 12 and have no 'stable' source of income... 2. i am crap at building... 3. i would have nowhere to fly it from water....Sheldon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Keegan Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 The only way to get an income is to get a Saturday job or a paper round. You have plenty of time to become a good builder, when I was your age my dad did all the the building, it was only when i was married that I started building and doing things for myself. The Sunderland will take off from the grass without a dolly, I will have to go to the lakes to take off water( Cumbria ) but only when I have flown it a lot at our local site. My Grandson is 15 this month, when he was 11 I built him an electric Junior Sixty, but now he has discovered GIRLS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheldon Holy Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I have built a few things, mainly scratch and all fly. I am considering the Flair Fokker DR11 or whatever it's called... Why does everyone mention the GIRL part!!! I will definately build something like this in the futre... but for now i want to see this FLY Unfortinately i live in a small vilage on the Sussex downs where there is no PO... so no paper round But in the holidays i work at my dad's small company and he pays me £20 a day!! Which is more than enough for me...I am dying to see this fly! Suppose i will have to wait for a bit though...Sheldon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flytilbroke Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I am sure we will see it flying soon As to Girls I have two sons, they and thier pals seemed to dissapear from anything other than Girls. Now it's the turn of Grandchildren, they are doing the same, giirls-boys, boys-girls. Ho Hum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Keegan Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Yes my grandson is 6ft 1inch 13 st and only 15 next week, the girls chase him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheldon Holy Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 haha.... i'm probably 5ft1, 12 and the girls run away from me... i think my (fairly) ginger hair might contribute to this... also averyone at school as this new theory that aeromoddeling is completely 'sad' and for wierdos.... i'm not so sure how they came to that conclusion, at least i dont go around knocking my teeth out just to grab a ball!!Sheldon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
