Possibly was. Supprised to see lack of sponsorship advertising on side of fuselarge. ie Grace Bros Removals, Kellogs Corn Flakes and the like. Maybe on the Mk2 version?

I WAS considering going for commercial drone licence training, but at my age considered it too intensive, plus the cost is not simply loose change pocket money. Just too much for an old fellah like me.

Yes but skippy, there'd be hundreds around the country that would'nt know where the location of YSwhatever abreviation airport is, unless they take the trouble to separately look it up. Not everyone on these forums are that well informed. Similar situation. Often only familiar with the author, but still gets used a lot.

Probably not for long 🤣. How about the nose wheel shimmy at 23.23, better than dancers from the 1960's

Building one of these suits my pensioner budget. Haha! Not sure it would meet Nev's full approval. 🤔

I have a couple of DJI drones which rarely get any air time these days, and I live in Earlwood only about 6 kms (as the crow or drone flys) from the very perimiter of Sydneys Kingsford Smith Airport. If I try to fire it up indoors, the GPS knows i'm in close vicinity of the airport, and it would'nt even allow me to take off indoors from my living room coffee table. Some of the cheaper drones may not have this avoidability built in. It's actually not easy to find somewhere to fly them these days because of the legal restrictions.

Looks great! Some of you guys have a tough life 🤢

Good job Marty No leaning elbows on the table now, eh? 🤪 Gotta get our prorities right!

If C of G is tooooooo far forward, adjustments need to be made. Not that i'd recomment this one. Awe Gee! I could have provided photocell protection to prevent that from ever happening. Been doing it for around 60 yrs. Missed out on making a few dollars.😢

A reasonable assumtion, but sadly we may never know OT

Have a family member who had a flight on that one for his 90th Birthday, after working on them many years before. Sad to see, but i'm certain the boys at Biggin Hill will have her in the air again.

The que to do this sort of thing is fairly short. Glad i'm not on it.

You're supposed to mention that Brendan, Shh! 😉

Welcome! Lot's of friendly guys here with decades of knowledge to pass on if needed.
