Actually the moment of emergency may have passed olegusan but thanks anyway. I already have a few hundred but they are holding other stuff together in wait for the moment I get the nod to do some further riveting - pics on "there's more" under aircraft building & design discussion.
I did the create account - forgot password thing & every time I pressed "submit" it changed the security text & did not "submit". Sounds like some people I know!
......Sounds to me like the local council has imminent thoughts of land development! Have they actually made any improvements to the 02/20 runway in the past 4-5 years?
Some people don't give radio calls because they think they can avoid the landing fee and then there are those who don't fly as much as they used to because it already costs enough and its more than it used to be.
I must be old Old Koorelah cause I'd much rather fly & listen out for other traffic than fiddle with a phone. I have taken the odd photo though but not with a phone & certainly not selfies. Too many people on the roads maimed or killed by using phones while driving - why do it in the air! Bluetooth is probably a good resource to have if you must make a call while in the air though.
I always take my phone just in case of an emergency either locked away in a bag under my seat in the quicksilver or in the bag behind the seat in the foxbat but I must be behind the times cause I can't hear it ringing when I have a radio headset on!
A little diesel motor - still attempting to refine my artistic abilities and the purple turned out to be so dark it's almost navy and I'm attempting to paint the rudder at the moment.
No it is going to be a pusher not a tractor motor. The two aft braces will eventually serve to provide a structure around the motor. The intention is to have foldable wings but have to sort prop clearance obviously dependent on number of blades.
