Hi Ironmover - looks like we both have our work cut out regarding Maidens - It is a bank holiday here in the UK on Monday so I am going to try and see if I can get three maidens done and dusted... - stay safe and well - Martyn
10 maidens? you might want to make that a 3 trip job just for ease on the nerves!! you know Martyn before i found the parts bowls i used to take sheet magnets like they make refrigerator magnets out of and glue them into my parts trays, it worked pretty good but wasn't as strong as the bowls pull! i wonder if the batch that the one tube of foam tac came from was mixed wrong? i've had super glue and 2 part epoxy that harden up faster than usual and some that has even went hard before it was even opened (i had one batch of 5 minute epoxy go hard just in the middle of mixing it! about 5 maybe 6 stirs rock solid!) and when i mentioned it at the store in passing the guy said sometimes they get the proportions a bit off and it speeds the reaction up!
Hi Keith , got a few out of the way already - as you say doing two or three each, I use magnets on my Drivers etc.. not only do they catch the screws but they are also good for storing them - No Idea regarding the Foam tac but it sure does BIT fast !! - could well be this batch... Stay well Martyn
I’ve noticed with my foam tac goes off really quick defo faster than uhu por martyn and also thought it had got faster than tube I got off motion rc this lot come from Amazon
Hi Gazza - yes indeed Uhu is slowwwwww... but this tube of Foamtac is much quicker than other Foamtac I have used - these ones came from Motion RC... but it is without doubt faster that other Foamtac I have used in the past... - Did you get to Fly yet ?? - Stay well Martyn
@@FlankerTanker hi martyn yes went with my boy on Friday I did put a few photos on my community but on my channel I crashed my stinger that I bought second hand seemed everything was good with testing at home but when I let go it flew ten yards and the fan blades ejected them selves out the back and it went down upside down and snapped the rudder , I’ve ordered spares and I’m gonna stick xfly 64 in it, but I did have a maiden with the Bigfoot and went well when I landed it we was going to do video but it started blowing and raining so we had to come home as where we were it’s up in hills so the weather rattles through I was comphy with the wind but it really started blowing so I thought the Bigfoot deserved to come home in one peice lol but was such a nice flyer with no trimming needed and I was flying with a overlander 2900 mah batt I recon I could put a 3000 or bit bigger in it to get a ten min flight on the 2900 I got six and came down with 40% left, lol soz for the waffle but apart from couple umx flights it must have been over six months since I flew something bigger on plus side my legs have improved bit now I’d been anemic for quite a while and I was so fatigued it was doing my head in but your vids and the other fellow hobbiest have kept me sane with your vids so thanks 🙏, G🇬🇧
Almost caught up Martyn!!
Keep going Airhammer, Keep Going ..Martyn Out !!
Arrows Hobby seem to be of good quality Martyn, probably because they're made by Fms 🤔 very thorough build of a very nice EDF Jet 😀👍

Looking forward to the maiden flight Martyn, I’m sure it will go really well after such an exacting build. You are the man 😊👍🏻
