A private road it maybe, that does not mean that you would never have visitors or members of the public that you could have killed with it.......

If you had rope around the tail how did you get a 'hop'out of it? i dont think you were running behind it holding on . . . and if it was left free to 'catch?' it would have instability issues??

i was behind it holding the rope but it was windy and the wind just picked it up briefly and dropped it

I think this could go on for ever.

James, my advice to you is try to walk before trying to run, we have all done dumb things and we try and help others not to do what we did. :''

There are many modelers out there who will help you through your early days who have a vast amount of time under their belts, when it is offered take it, keep eyes open, ears open and mouth shut and in time you be OK.

I think gents he has had his ears bent :co

Always ask if you dont know :''

Now get on with your thread :nananana:

Cheers
DB

it's a private road and there was no-one around
In the 'grounds' obviously!

Blimey. I'm glad that I never let on that I sometimes fly from public roads. Quiet-ish ones, of course, and nothing bigger than 90" span :ev

Still, it's probably safer than my driving.

You can make the perfect landing, every time, by following just 3 simple rules.

Unfortunately, no-o

Get over the pond, and some of those muppets fly from quiet interstates, mall car parks and their own back 'yards'.
Saw some film a while back of some guys doing loops under and over a flyover.... $%&

I've done a bit more work on it and apart from an onboard glow it's ready to fly  :D
I decided to replace the wooden engine standoffs with some that i made at college and i made a ali firewall so it looks quite smart now  ;D I've also started a semi-scale cockpit and painted inside just to add a bit more realism to it  :af

I know it's far from scale and it's not finished yet (i've made some fuel gauges, oil pressure gauges ect. but i've lost them  ::)) but here it is so far:
