Tony Bennett Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 you and me both. but me thinks it is destined for a black plastic bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riverlandgirl. Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Maybe so, (just like some of mine) but it's a hell'v lot of fun getting there! (Nothing beats the feeling of seeing it happily fly off, and your standing there thinking, "well I never expected that to happen!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Bennett Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 well it needs repairing got it all set up. lined it up into the wind opened the throttle it shot off down the runway, in an almost straight line. hands shaking i touched the elevator stick....... it lifted off the ground and...................................for some reason i bottled it and shut the throttle, stalled and cartwheeled. need to fix the wing and front motor mount before i can try again. looked like it was going to fly as well, so i have no idea why i lost my nerve on take off. oh well.

Stephen Jones Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Tony , It happens to the best of us , Well me any way , Get it Fixed and try again , try not to put to much heart into it , just think it will or it wont fly , no matter which give it a go . And just remember so long as the maths are right it will work no matter how you feel about it , Steve , Edited By Stephen Jones on 16/06/2014 19:48:42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
