Sloper Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I'm guessing the 60" Wildthing would soar better in lighter winds and be less twitchy for a beginner? Ah buggrit anyway... I've just ordered my son one to learn the ropes with.. (and for me to have fun with too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Daniels Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 well i learnt (well still learning) on a wildthing and find it great it there is a bit of wind and a bit of lead taped on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloper Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 We phoned SAS to order a Wildthing a few days ago but Alan Head was away. He phoned on the 15th at 10pm and we placed an order for the 60" Wildthing there and then. It arrived earlier tonight (the 17th) at 7pm. How's that for a rapid service!?And my son thinks it's just for him. Muhahahaa! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Lloyd Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I have just pimped my as yet unflown WT. Here's a fairly poor pic of it - I will take another (outdoors - perhaps even flying!) as soon as I can. Anyone fancy some groovy graphics for thier WT?

Matthew Lloyd Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Hi LeeI am a graphic designer, and commissioned a friend to cut my own design on her vinyl cutter. I applied the self adhesive vinyl last night user her method of wetting down with slightly soapy water first (which allows easy movement and positioning), which by this morning had dried out with no wrinkles and is as tight as a drum. I have considered offering this as a service (combining work AND pleasure? surely not!) as I'm really pleased with the result. I just need to balance the model and I am ready to chuck it off a hill - I may take more pics in case it comes home slightly tatty!Matthew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Morgan Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 When are you looking to go throw it off matthew? your going to LM I take it Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Lloyd Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Not this weekend - I'm off to learn how to make an earth oven (!). I will keep you posted. I may quietly try it out on Clee Hill, with a view to flying off the LM very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Lloyd Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Here's a couple of better pics of the new livery. Shame I am busy this weekend - forecast looks very good - I will have settle for evening sorties with the Easystar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Brogdon Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Well you wont be losing that in a hurry..........Man made objects viewable from space:Great Wall O China,Dubai's Palm & World Islands........and Matthews WTLOL Seriously though, you can recover my SAS Fusion if you want, I chose black, and its a bugger to find when it goes into the gorse during combat.

Matthew Lloyd Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I reckon this two colour design should have cost me about £12 - which is quite a bit on top a £55 model, but I am sure single colour designs could be done for under a tenner. All I would need is an accurate plan to work off - I had to run a tape over my WT. It was rather nice to be able to quickly personalise a model - I have kept the underside plain as I am thinking heather and gorse will quickly mess that up - and I really wanted to make sure that I knew which way up it was when hurtling towards me! Also I find that a plane needs some kind of canopy - even if it is only a sticker. It seems my love of kites has made the crossover to my planes... I may play with a few designs and post them up here - if that sort of thing is allowed Timbo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Mackey Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Absolutely... look forward to it Matthew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
