Andy Stephenson Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 This is why I always try to locate my underslung aileron servos out of range of the undercarriage. The results can be worse if there are animals at loose on your flying field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheep's poo is the worst, I think they must eat some sort of super glue! I've thought of fitting spats or mudguards but they would probably clog up pretty quickly?

Don Fry Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 I’ve got a dog. Eats grass if he has an upset stomach. Result one, is sick. End of. Result two, other end, hanging by connective tissue, that the idiot dog is not capable of digesting, owner scurrying to find big leaves to relive the idiot of the burden. At that time dog thieves are welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Carlton Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 Yes, I didn't think about that at the time, I really should have taken more care, but the whole build felt like a struggle for some reason. Not sure why, some just do. Mole hills are the biggest issue, each flying session starts with a bit of exercise with ye olde club rake!

It's a bit of Weathering, some spend hours in the workshop achieving the same look. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the wire bending was a bit crap, but in my defence, I didn't have access to a wire bender or a vice, and if I'm honest, I wasn't enjoying the build and just bashed it out. Still, it works, and I can't see it if I fly inverted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
