Title: Abused 'Vintage' Ripmax Spit cuts shapes again!
Post by: Granpaw Jonah on April 02, 2014, 10:14:48 AM
... Hey..... you might've seen in the Summer I chucked my old Ripmax Spit into the ground at Swinderby?....  Well she's been repaired for a bit, nice skies yesterday so it felt like an auspicious time to see if my repairs were any good.
  I get a bit distracted at the end of the vid as a DC3 appears on the horizon in the mist there. You might catch a ghostly glimpse..... listen carefully you'll hear her.

....FPV??... Nah...if I had a pan and tilt, but that would require different goggles, which would require a new transmitter... If you saw her in life and underneath her cowl you'd be horrified at the bodges that are holding her together and understand also why I wouldn't risk a load of expensive FPV gear on her.... soz... :-*
