Until you do something unexpected to a narrow LE. Then you learn what a low level stall looks like, or wing drop from hell. Ex pylon racer.

And give it a discharge of at least twice what you expect the plane to drain, and repeat thrice. The puffed stuff gets the bin. Plane, battery, what do you value.

Nah, given his location, a surfeit of Ricard. The numbers are postcodes.

I’ve got a Giant Stik, 160 4T methanol burner. Took care to keep everything light. Total hooligan. pushed wrong button in my excitement. It provides libido boosts, very useful in keeping wives from piles of projects.

To quote, “- if I pile it in, I still have the Riot (which I wouldn't have if I upgraded it and then crashed it), and ”, is a good reason to buy another Riot airframe. Then the lawn darted debris can go in the new airframe, with a second no expense possibility, that the debris of 2 Riots , can be used to create a Frankenstein.

Arrrrr Geoff, but after a lifetime at it, 1. Your ability to judge risk gets better. 2. You are hardened to it. 3. You like the tension that you are risking something you value. But, were you to break the Pup after a couple of flights, and you broke its replacement after a few more, at what point would you think, not for me.

Re warbirds, or anything else for that matter, you have invested in the trainer. Fly it till you break it, or it falls apart. Tool for a job. Ditto second aircraft, ditto third probably. SAFE is great, can tame a beast, but learning tool, no. Rule of life generally, don’t risk what you can’t afford to lose. Without tears. A lot of people leave this hobby, too much investment, not enough return, because the leaver ended up with a fleet of unsuitable machines for the skill set. Rant over.

Keep going gentlemen. I’ve got a couple of models, the float planes and a thermal soarer that I fly off piste. I would very much prefere a cheap unit I can fit/forget in each airframe.

Anyway, we still await our moderators getting free of all alcohol, and, given the age, other substances, and iron dust and grass clippings, to restore the post to full combat mode, .

rrrrrrrr, but after the urine pulling on any decent flight line, forums are handbags at four paces. Not even loaded with lead handbags.

Or having achieved it, bowling.

Balsa USA Cub. Very nice flyer. Might even have one, NIB, for sale. Very good price. I’m going to be dead before I build my stash.

Mind, still not an answer. You can of course plead the 5 th Amendment. The form of words, from movies, is “ I plead the 5th” PS, THATS NICE, AND INSTANT AIRFRAME.

Praise the Lord.

Speedy, do tell more about that nickname.

A’men.

Pre computer, police incident log closure. Nhbo. No human being involved.

Don’t need a mod, move on lads and lasses. Note non sexist post.

Don’t dirty it in the first place I say. Or are you an eater or producer. Eaters clean the thing. That’s not the naughty list. My first circle of hell is no home made biscuits. Leave the cellotape alone. Simples. This is your conscience speaking. Leave Satan’s devices behind.

Wots a proxy. I assume it’s inedible though.

Careful, naughty lists exist, hung from a prop boss until you agree to clean the bathroom.

Lads, you’re being cruel, like a cat with a caught mouse.

Indoor flying reminder.

Don’t worry mate. Lidl sells an Advent Callender box of right nice mixed beers, well I’ve got three. And fine wines. And a lovely Irish gin. I’ve even got a beautiful, efficient cleaner who makes me laugh ( not Swmbo, I don’t do sexism). I’ll survive. But Christmas, virgin births, peace, good will, sorting out manning levels on Boxing Day when the bosses are hungover in bed, charity, traffic jams, might just pass.
