You're not the only one Marty. -
That's great Danny. Necessity is the mother of invention they say. Keeps the fingers away from the area that bites..

Talking of motors, I made a 46inch RAF crash fire tender boat radio controlled with an 8cc Taplin Twin diesel in it. What a beautiful motor that was, so smoth running and powerful. Today they fetch a small fortune among engine enthusiasts. It was great for chasing the ducks on Wimbledon Common.🦆🦆

OMG! This post brings back so many distant memeories, From running many miles to get a flyaway aircraft and cremating crashes of the day. I still wear a bit of a scar where I got hit on the cheek bone just missing my eye with an aluminium spinner I did'nt see coming on a free flight model that was coming into land.

Memories! for many. I never mentioned the word "happy" It's a sore point for some.

One before first flight I assume, and 2 bandaids after. Many of us old guys experienced the same.😢

A farmer who was pee'd off with unwelcome people using his private road, one day saw somone drive across his creek and disapear up to the roof of their car. All he could say to them with a wry grin was |"I don't understand how that could happen, the water only comes half way up my ducks"

Surely it's what's known as an ultralight ultralight. Interesting though! Not good once the sun gets up and thermals kick in. You could wind up anywhere, even places you'd never wish to visit..

So nice to be fit (would'nt really know) Good onyer as they say.

Not wrong there Sue. Miss that smiling face and Raybans. I feel the same. -
Maybe just a pilot with a "part time job"

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.
