Hi guys,
My name is Ross. I used to build and fly RC gliders 30 years ago. In those days it was launch with a bungee and back then I was living in the country with lots of farmers happy to let us use their fields.
I am now back in Sydney and have just retired so I have bought a floater with an electric motor and am intending to get back into the hobby.
I would love to join you at your flying field whenever it is that this virus goes away.
I have bought a Hobby King AFX Floater and a T16 transmitter. I have always flown Mode 1 and my new radio has shown up with Mode 2 (of course)
One of my flying mates from 30 years ago is now also back in Sydney (Sutherland) and he has got me started on building an alpha Jet thingy - it is a flat sheet foam plane that is prop driven - the prop is in the middle of the plane. The power to weight ratio exceeds 1! I dunno how that is guuna go. I reckon I am going to have to spend some time on a floater before I tackle something with a poer to weight ratio exceeding 1.
Thanks heaps
Ross
