    Boring ? I have to disagree with that statement. I think that any time you are able to fly even for only a couple of flights is a great day. I don't know what is going on with the weather, but it's great in Northern California. 74° here. I just can't go out, I need my hip replaced, I can't even sleep without waking up in pain. Let alone go flying. Thanks again for the video. It always cheers me up.

    Most people don't care about landing gear in rc airplanes, but I find it so fun when you've got big wheels like that airplane, Bruce! 😃
    Smaller wheels won't work well, but those big ones are amazing!
    Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

    Thank you for your videos. They helped me buy my first quadcopter. The phantom 4 pro v 2.0. Now I'm learning how to fly it been almost 30 years since I've owned anything other than small rc cars. Hope you and your group clear skies and light winds.

    Oh no, I didn’t realise that you had plovers over there in the land of the long white cloud. I hope they’re not as aggressive as they are here in Australia lol.

    • @xjet
      @xjet  2 года назад +3

      The only aggressive thing around here is Tim's flying :-) The plovers aren't a problem (nor are the magpies). We have taught them to be a fraid of anything that flies -- RC models are *great* for that sort of thing.

      Buzzards here are good for a dogfight on occasion.
      When they’ve been bothersome I break out an old ParkZone Spit that got warmed up/beefed up years ago with a naughty geared inrunner and carbon spar, on account of buzzards don’t do vertical unlimited, immelmans or loops.
      Once they’ve worked out that they keep losing the height advantage and ending up with a Spit barrelling down on their arse, they get all huffy and buzz off.
      Stops ‘em wanting to mess around with slower stuff too for quite a while, I find.

    2:04... Why is Ron's EZ landing gear still bent facing rearwards ? It's why he can't land without the plane tipping forward.

    • @xjet
      @xjet  2 года назад +2

      That's the way they're designed... and they can't be fitted the other way because there's a little tab that has to locate into the plastic. I think the handbrake is dragging :-D

    Hot? I would take Hot right now. Since I am in Northern Michigan and it's only 13 degrees. I will not fly in this weather . Only a few short months, that sun will be marching its way back North. Still gets dark about 5:30pm as well. This time of year, we build planes. come summer we crash and burn them. Mabe we should reverse that. At least we could stay warmer that way.
