Water Flying
Bill and I were both virgins at flying off water so we decided to loose our virginity. We went to Blue Lake just out of Rotorua to do this. It was a magnificent day for it hardly a breeze and lake like a mill pond. This was far more enjoyable and easier than we had both anticipated.
We will do it again hopefully with a few others to join in.

Lockdown Build #2
มุมมอง 8054 ปีที่แล้ว
Got to keep busy during the lockdown so another build from scraps in the shed. This one I can fly no need to go to the field and yep its a hovercraft. Yes it works just a bit boring compared to flying planes. Dont know what else I can create as I am running out of junk in the shed and cant go buy anything.

    Some great low speed control in those winds. Good recovery be all at 11:37 I must say. Nice to see you all flying and having fun, accepting the risks. Thanks Ron for sharing. Between your channel and XJet I feel as if I'm there, even though I'm on the other side of the world - UK. Laurie.

    @lloydprunier4415 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice change of pace from the airfield. I have threatened to buy a Skipper several times. I might just try one after watching you two. Bill and the Tundra looked like my wheeled takeoff attempts. Hand launch is the only way I have any success at all. The phone video was great, but horizontal would be better, but I enjoyed the whole show!

    Hi from Samoa. 30C. No covid. Just heaps of rain at the moment which makes it a bit hard to fly. Wouldn't be a problem with you Tokoroa boys tho, eh? Good on ya Ron. Let's see some more regular videos please. Having bloody good fun - that's what this hobby is all about.

  • @geordienufc3132
    @geordienufc3132 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Only minus 34C here in Alberta today so I won't be doing any flying for a while. Now I'm just waiting for you guys down under to start complaining about the cold down there which means we are going to get warmer up north.

  • @garyhutmacher1151
    @garyhutmacher1151 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Glad to see your video. Much nicer watching you guys flying having fun for 20 minutes instead of watching a 5 or 6 minute vid then Bruce flying his quads. Don't know if Bruce has been feeling bad lately or what but his vids have lost a bit of what got him here. Keep it up Ron, lovin it.

    I have one that is over 50 years old, has an OS 61 SF ringed on it that has weak compression but has no problem hauling this 9 lb model up and around. I have a GI Joe in the back and a Barbie in the front seat and everyone that sees it wants to pull the Barbie out and look up her dress to see the date stamped there. Her butt is glued in that seat and it's not coming out! I have flown this at slowed down scale speed and twice, people have driven up to see the old biplane that landed. I'm 76 years old now and thinking about taking it to the LHS and offer it for sale. Great flying airplane!

    I wondered what happened to the 'part II' of the XJET Taft Hobby Viper Jet review!!! I got an airframe kit of one of these and put in a more powerful 90mm EDF than what they supplied. Leaps off the grass runway at our club and is a total joy, if scary for a big model novice like me, to fly.

    He does have a PROVEN record of TAX EVASION. Earning $1 for normal people is like making $2 to him because he doesn't pay his fair share to the society that supports him and his family. How many RC freebies has he sold for cash under the table? Is that why he doesn't finish part 2, 3 or whatever videos? Everybody can understand if you get bored of a project or crash it but he gaslights people into thinking nothing happened. He repeatedly lies to his viewers that he will eventually do as he said but that never happens. He is a deadbeat RC dad. Especially to his Patreon donors. That's his "secret."
