What a laugh, for the shear idea, execution and fun factor I would give it 20 out of 10 mate. Who amongst us hasn't wanted their model to fly! Did something similar, with a wire across Peel Green Road back in the 60's, second story of Russel’s house to the first story of Michael’s flew a Lancaster across (unpowered), well say across, got stuck halfway, it was ok till a double decker took the wire and the Lancaster, we scarpered and hid for a few hours down Robbie’s Brook, till we got hungry. Great entertainment, great build, great memory jogger, well done. "cùm iad a’ tighinn"
This build was a real joy I must admit. I felt like a mad scientist creating a weapon of mass disruption!!! Pleased you enjoyed the video, I really enjoyed making it for sure 😁
The test flight went a bit too well!! I used to imagine the Spitfire's, Hurricane's and what not flying around my room when I was a nipper. This was just to try to fulfill that dream. And what fun it was!! I shall make repairs (I have spare props) and try a longer line next time to get better video I think 🤔

That's the sort of thing I wanted to do as a teenager, I'm glad it's possible! The test flight went very well, but the landing was unfortunate.
