You did great with that box of glue i sent you.🫣 My model here is called the Freewing L-15. So good to see dome great weather there Martyn. 👏👏👏
Noel - SEND MORE GLUE ..... LOL, Yer here in ol Blighty, it is both the JL10 and L15 - I just think JL10 sounds cooler than L15 - Noel, it was early in the morning , the clouds go and the Sun comes out - Honest it does, Honest ...LOL... and before you say it, yes "Winter is Coming" Cheers Martyn
😂 soooo funny
It's the glue that holds us all together...... :)👍
Hi Airhammer - lets not forget the cocktail sticks and tape...Ummmm Scratch that, I could be thinking about the other night .!!! LOL, Martyn OUT !!!!
An upsy-downy kind of flight, Martyn! But it lives... I was waiting for your Tx to pipe up and say "ESC voltage 14.15 volts... ESC voltage 14.15 volts... Esc Volta-- "
Hi Gina... LOL oh I sorted that ESC voltage talk from the TX out PDQ, I think it was just far too windy for it and as soon as it was into wind the wings did what they are there for "Creating Lift" and up she would go.... I had the rates on High and should have switched them down a to low into wind would have helped with the Roller Coaster flight ..... I will fly it on a calmer day next time to see how it is.... Hope you are both well, Cheers Martyn
Good flight Martyn, glad she landed good too😊👍👍
Hi Frank - this whole flying session 10 , could be summed up as Gear Bashing and Battery draining, not this flight it came down in the end no issues, but other aircraft did not do so well ...
@@FlankerTanker sorry to here that been were your at last year more planes went in due to electrical foam hinges breaking off in flight esc burning out but we pick up the pieces and start over again lol Have a good week Martyn
It came back safe and sound, Martyn, so that's got to be a success. Looking forward to its next outing, if you film it, that is.
@purcellrcaviationchannel hi Gina, it suprised me that it flew as good as it did considering it has so many cocktail sticks in it, we did some stupid things on this flight, leaving flaps in and triming, because it was climbing, lol and then putting flaps up and seeing it take a dive, because of the trim we just put in, lol , three attempts to land what a wally, but it was smooth in the end next flight is much better....cheers Martyn
Great flight, strange why she wants to climb so much, mabe the cg was a bit aft but looked ok when you checked.....jeff.
@Isleofwightr.c-ec2ef Jeff the cg was spot on, I think the elevator is still out of alignment since the crash and repair, I am going to see if I can mechanically correct it and try again. Cheers Martyn
What a shame you had a stressful flight. I love mine & not a problem. It flies like the big one. I have the Umx Tractor arriving this week so will compare.
@@Bellairvideo Hi Noel - it might just have been the wind - it did get up quite a bit for a small light aircraft - the flight was fun, and a bit of a challenge - I will leave it for calmer weather for the next flight... Cheers Martyn
Nice flight this one is still on my list too
Hi Frank - thanks it was a little too windy for this small, light 800mm Draco - Maybe I should think about getting the 2m version - as it is always windy here in the Flat lands of East England, ... LOL no no just kidding about the 2m Draco...... Cheers Martyn
@@FlankerTanker 😊👍👍
Wow Bixler.. takes me back! So many adventures. Love your decals! Thanks for the video!
Thanks - 12 months ago wow - This one is up for sale at my local hobby store.. need to make some room...
Ive looked on RC Castle but cant find these. Anyone know if they're still available and if so could they post a link. Thanks 👍
Reminds me of pooh bear
10 Man ration (British) - 12 years ago. - kzread.info/dash/bejne/qoBh0a2YlJPAfpM.htmlsi=i_pUfloRk5hl4zCC 10 Man ration (UN) - 4 years ago - kzread.info/dash/bejne/oJOlsLiSc6TapbA.htmlsi=wJLyqfjPlCYZNucB 10 Man ration (British) - 2024 - this video...
A great selection of goodies there Martyn, ive only ever had the 24hr ones but they are good meals with lots of energy...jeff.
HI Jeff - Another "Hobby" of mine is Military Rations - so every now and again I post a ration related video - most of my videos are based on 24 hour rations from all around the world I have a rather large pile waiting to get the video treatment, but as you say - they have lots of energy (Calories) so a 24 hour meal - will last me three days , this new 10 man ration comes in 5 menus , but when compared to the Older versions I have had over the years - it really is not as good as the others. (I have had two others one British and one UN, between 2011 and 2024... I will post the links as a comment on this video incase you would like to take a look...Cheers Martyn
they took the boiled sweets nut/Tropical mix and chocolate ration out of them since the last one you had Martyn!
Hi Keith - these come in 5 different menus , It could be the Boiled sweets come in a different menu (but I doubt it)... it really did not have anything in it that snack wise would give you a glucose boost.. also I am sure I saw it in your comment or maybe some else left it the packaging is quite crude in this version, when compared with the one I got 12 years ago....Oh and the Tins of Mince leave a lot to be desigered LOL... brown much is what I would call them... Powdered eggs work well , had some made up for breakfast as scrambled egg... and the powdered Milk work well for tea and coffee.. as for the can of peaches well that went down a treat ..Cheers Keith Stay Safe... Martyn
@@FlankerTanker it wasn't me on the packing on that as long as it does the job i can care less the less money wasted there the better!!
Very nice Martyn! Looks like getting that battery back makes a difference!
Hi Adam - it was the only way I could get the CG where it should be, and as you saw even then I had to add weight to the tail - but what a machine - Love this one, and it will always have a space in my storage areas ... Thanks for commenting Adam, hope you are all safe and well - I am still waiting for that HobbyKing - Avios Super Tucano - not a sign or peep about it from HK...
That is a decent amount of food. A good variety as well.
it is a lot of food and Drink , each menu of the Five you can get - is just a little different - I might even get another one soon but a different menu just for the comparisons.. Thanks .
Wow Brother !! When you show up, you show up in style, LOL. Hope all are well friend. Totally awesome FT. You have plenty of mixing and matching to do it would seem? I have never seen A package like that before. Very enjoyable exploring it with you. I hope you have time to share some components, if you decide to feed 10 friends, you can cook it all. Dang, that would be A job!! Again, hope all are well and safe. I miss your MRE reviews. Peace, John. Take care Brother.
Hi JOhn, Good to hear from you again, Thanks for your kind comment, really is appreciated, JOhn you never know I might break it open next time we have a BBQ ..LOL.... not sure how that would go down .... Hope all is well , catch you on another Ration video.. Martyn
I am surprise there wasn’t a model RC in there as well Martyn 🤪😆 nowdays it would be a drone eh. Remember Autumn☔️ is coming 😱 keep flying well bro
Our summer sucks !!!! - Rain and Wind - no flying again for 3 weekends in a row.. but I do have some New (to me) Birds to maiden - Yes I know Autumn is Coming... and as I said it all sucks or is that BLOWS !!! - every now and again I need to get a ration in to see whats changed or something new..... or Old... LOL.,. Cheers Noel - Martyn
I predict that you will have an ‘Indian Summer’ in September-October this year with hopefully plenty of flying… so good will it be that your unopened rations will go off as you enjoy your new planes🤪🦘🇦🇺🪃
Gotta say that the packaging isn't to the same standard to the one that you did before.
it;s also missing the boiled sweets nut mix and chocolate ration from the other one too!
Absolutely - its just thrown into the box in 2024 - the one I had 12 years ago was better packed - Cheers
I wanted to buy it but I have seen many reviews that after months it stops working
this was not a consideration I had to make as I collect and do not skirmish anymore - so it really is just a display item for me.
Very nice Martyn, love the idea to have a separate cockpit for a camera 👍🏻
Hi Chris - I have done that a lot, used an extra cockpit modified to take a camera, works quite well and no issues with CG or any imbalance issues due to adding a camera - another three weeks of no flying - wow this so called Summer really sucks.... cheers Martyn
FT's explainer video is the best I'm watching from Japan
You are very welcome here - all the way from Japan - Thank you.
はるばる日本からお越しいただき、誠にありがとうございます。 Harubaru Nihon kara okoshi itadaki, makotoni arigatōgozaimasu.
Glad you posted this, I’m making a Wo1 LP08 kit and was wondering if I can put real grips on the WE Replica.
this was 6 years ago so there might be a version of real grips that do now need all this work on them - I still have this one with these grips in my collection... Cheers.
Very nice Martyn, shes gonna be a speed demon...jeff,
Hi Jeff - Speed indeed if you watch my end "video Outro" the aircraft that Zooms past is one of these .... alas that one is no more, it hit the ground at a great speed and smashed into lost and I mean lots of foam bits... not mine - but I decided I wanted one.. and here she is... just need to make a little more room and then I will assemble her.. Cheers Martyn
Very nice Martyn and don’t worry about the little scrape…it’s so easily done. Another great informative video on this particular model matey and looking forward to the build 😀👍🏻
Hi Sean, need to cut my finger nails - LOL, I know what you mean and by the time I have assembled it , I am sure it will have some other dents and scratches... Just need to get a little more room freed up before I assemble it... not long, Cheers Martyn
6S with a 100 amp this one should haul!! i'll say it i'm not a fan of how they're painting up war birds anymore!!they're for fighting wars not strutting at some ghetto car show!!
Hi Keith , hope your well, it does shift, at the end of my videos - I call it the Outtro, an EDF jet zooms across the screen left to right , blink and you would miss it, well that is one of these... at least now I can decide if I want a Tiger meet or not.. the old version you had no choice.. Cheers Martyn
Martyn you'll enjoy this one. Great flyer, and SO glad they give the option not to have the tiger decals on it...
Hi Adam - I think you are right on both accounts, in that I am going to enjoy it and the fact it does not have to be a tiger scheme Mirage, Cheers Martyn
Your going to love the Mirage martyn. Very very fast. And is the best high Alpha there is.
Hi Travis - I hope I do enjoy it, if you ever watch my video outtro - the aircraft that zooms across the screen left to right is one of these...... Zoooooooooommm... Cheers Man - Martyn
Superb video with very good editing Martyn, well captured.
Hi Jason, thank you ..It really was a nice and enjoyable day, the flying was fantastic, I have a great respect for everyone who took part in the flying .. great skills in our club..
GJ FT!!
Hi GJ.. thanks for your comments... all the way from Japan...
Hiya bud I was looking at this myself but I’ve never had to put water slide decals on before I recon I’d knacker them up lol i have a few box’s to get together but I can’t go flying as my car blew up I can go out with sun 250 grams over the estate but it’s been to windy here I really like motion ones but hate having to pay import fees bloody brexit lol maybe kier will get back in customs Union later on to help us lol 😂, G🇬🇧
Hi martyn I did order a blue tape box and it’s on the way it’s the Kraftei me163 looks like a little rocket ship only runs on 3s but I may convert to 4s at a later date, G🇬🇧
Hi Gazza - if you do not mind me asking what is a "Blue tape box" ?? - I have seen the me163 from Freewing was it that one? - I have had one in the past , I will include it in one of my Blast from the past videos, but that was a prop version... Cheers
Water slide decals can be a pain in the a**, especially if they are from FMS for the F18 70mm EDF they do - but on the whole they are OK and indeed easier to use than Sticky back decals, Sorry about your car, I had a mobile valet done on mine and the Mobile van caught fire !!!, Yer the Import duty really sucks not that we are out of the EU, - Cheers Martyn
@@FlankerTanker lol you know it’s a box from motion rc when you see the tape lol
@@FlankerTanker I forgot to say skynetic are probably a arm of freewing some of the vids I watched on it motion did it ten years ago and hobbyking to sold the same version this one has 5x5 prop
Martyn that is a great airplane. Loved all the camera views!
Hi Adam - I do like the FMS Ranger - BUT I also have the Horizon Hobby 2m 150T ready to maiden - form looks they seem almost the same - I also have the FMS PA18 Super Cub - do not think I need three large ones - so depending on how the 150T performs, it might replace the PA18 or the RANGER... do room for all three - so if I can move one on I can crack open another box.... It would have been 5 cameras on board but I think I forgot to turn on on !!!! so only 4 LOL.... Cheers Adam...
Very nice Martyn I'm on the hunt for my next plane..🎉This is definitely on the list..
Hi Capn, its really good - shame you are not here in the east of England - as this one might be going very soon, as I have a Eflite 2m T150 to maiden and they are very much the same - if the T150 is good then I am going to sell this one or maybe the PA18 Super cub I have not sure which one yet. ...
@@FlankerTanker too bad you wouldn't consider shipping? 😂
