hi all names bert and im from sussex,like to share my recent experiences that brought me here,xmas morning wake up and unwrap?a helicopter from the mrs!!yaaaay!! boxing day,weather ok took it out for first flight and.after watching previous easy videos on the tube,..it went 200ft in the air...the earth lead came undone and boom,it went into the ground like a tent peg!all teh interest dissapeared instantly,so ,back to the tube and...ah ha!!ill go and buy an easy glider!! a foam one,,oh yes...came home put receiver in it,,,went to local field and...crunch....came home...hot glue...crunch...
repeat until un airworthy.by this time the front was bent,a tip here,watch the tube and see someone fixing it with hot water,done that and now it looks like a fish that died of "dropsy"
well...by this time i was pretty p'ed off with the whole idea.mrs saying.you broke it blah blah blah...waste of money blah etc.
then.i digress,as i do,
i remember all my childhood days on holiday,bought a kite,came back to caravan with sad face and a bundle of sticks and cloth,in fact this happened every holiday,later on mate had a "proper"kite...£300+carbon rods etc...watched him fly it...easy...i had a go....blam...into the ground it went
a curse of flying things had came back to haunt me,i have been offered a passenger place in a twin engine piper....but refused!!
so....after all this ive ended up with quite a few electrical bits and have,quite rightly,taken an interest in boats.i have waders,before you ask,and a few local lakes/ponds are quite shallow.
thanks for listening/reading.
