    https://www.facebook.com/AOPAaustralia/videos/430760548606736/ This is raising a few questions by the sound of things, and so it should.

    I only ever did a one way trip back in the days when I did work with BA, but it did make me feel special, and that you were flying with the elites. Wot a snob!

    There is a young lady on Youtube that flies an autogiro and is very easy on the eye for any red blooded male pilot. At no time have I ever seen any criticsism of her attire.😜 Please don't start! I for one love watching the skills she has. Yea Right! 😜

    That was my quote Flyboy1960. I simply said MAYBE it was too much air in the tank as I understood he was diverting to get fuel As the saying goes, "we'll just have to wait and see"

    That sounds like Pommy talk onetrack. Here in Oz we normally say G'day, but we all have to learn. I for one do not derive pleasure from taking the pi** out of others misfortune, even if it came about from his misjudgement. Gladly he's ok and lives to tell the story, but wonder what you would have done to prevent an unfortunate tipover? There's no telling what ruts or stumps there may have been in the ground. I imagine you know no more than the rest of us on here, and his approach looked good to me. In life it pays to try and be kind if possible, rather than ridicule. Rant over.

    Poor fella!. He'd be feeling gutted right now. Give him a break. Looks like his new toy can be fixed. Maybe he had too much air the tank and has learned something as most of us do, but preferably not the hard way.

    The above posts mentioning guality remind me of a sign I had on my office wall some years back, it stated...................... QUALITY IS AKIN TO BUYING OATS. If you wish to purchase good quality clean oats, then you have to pay a fair price. However, if you are prepared to accent oats that have already passed through the horse, they come a little cheaper.

    The BS seems to always start with the on/off button.

    Not sure whether this will ever make it to the market place. However, it's interesting to watch it's progress.

    Great video. Loved it! Thanks for posting it.

    And if the wife suddenly finds you constantly under her feet after your completion, rather than you being in the shed, they may even suggest a new build for you 😄

    For so many like me who are now beyond the years where they'd dearly love to build, I for one, simply admire the determination to succeed like Marty and no doubt many others. I find it both inspirational, and also learn a lot along the way. Good on you guys, you deserve any positive appraisals you receive, and I so look forward to seeing the final results of your sometimes frustrating challenges and achievements. Rgds Planey

    Live that dream Bennyboy. That looks great. Gotta admit, i'm a bit envious, but sure you and the misses deserve it.

    So that's what "fly by wire means" We learn something new most days!😄

    That's sad. Looked beautiful both in the air as well as on the ground in one piece. Unfortunately, most who have been involved in model aircraft, know that sometimes tragic things happen. I used to reckon that any spare tissue that once came in a kit, was to wipe your eyes with when things went pear shaped.😂

    Old farts like me, remember these things 👍

    Love the paint job 👍

    Remember, success if often achieved by those who have suffered some sort of failure, but continue to strive to achieve their goals, You'd be no different, and we're all confident you'll continue till you achieve something both you and others will admire with envy. It's all a learning experience from any mistakes and any tempory set backs. Love your work so far.

    That looked pretty stable considering the angle of the wind sock

    For those that didn't know, they were often known as "the flying greenhouse" due to the fact that some had so many windows.
