Never mind mate, there are a few younger ones on this site (maybe not the majority) 😉but it comes to us all, so don't feel bad. They come here to learn, and good on them. Hope they do, Not sure whether long sight or short is the bigger bugger, Happy to settle for somewhere in between.

Santa been mouthing off again? I'll organise a checkride for him with an examiner holding a gun, just to see how he handles an engine failure.

Aw Geez! can't see my place on the flight plan.

Interesting for me, for one. Thanks for posting. I used to live very Close to Croydon Aerodrome but being an old fart remember the HP42's being there, but not the Atlanta, i'm not quite that old.

I think the label on the front maybe a warning not to charge it's lithium batteries inside a hangar overnite. Looks cool though!

The race that's stops the nation has just finished. The horse I backed is due in about 7 o'clock tonight I think. Just hoping for a strong tail wind. Not sure whether the prevailing weather conditions match that of our met reports?

Starboard engine sounds a bit off-key. I'll make a note of that for maintenance!

Great to see good tips shared amongst our flying mates.

All looking good. The space you have would be the envy of many.

Know that feeling mate, I’m in the same league. For a mad keen rock-n-roller for decades, I’d probably be OK flying anti-clockwise, but anti-clockwise I’d be stuffed and plant it ready for the usual onfield cremation ceremony 🔥🤣

Hope that was not a newly aquired one recently advertised on Planesales. Just so sad anyway. RIP

Love that paint job.

So you guys are telling me that the radio gear I used to build using acorn valves from WW2 army surplus walkie talkies is now obsolete. Such is life. Better just stick with control line models

The good news is that the pilot is OK. Happy to buy the PIC a lottery ticket.
