Nope! Set up a business building replicas Funded by a local business man with a few bob to spare. Just built these two for an American customer. Long story but never got paid. No more cash in the kitty/ No more business. Both he and his brother now just build and fly third scale jets as a hobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, I got the transmitter input 'stick' wrong. "Nose in" is one of the biggest learning curves with them - learning to mentally put yourself onboard the aircraft so YOU are always mentally behind its nose. So while its facing away from you, pushing the joystick forwards results in it moving away from you. Do that when its facing you at head height for example could get you a painful haircut. I was a slow learner in school too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
