My adventures in aviation. I fly remote control aircraft and ultralight power parachutes (PPC), and have many friends in general aviation with some amazing aircraft.
Hey Tom. That is a sweet little Destiny. I had one identical to this one a few years back and I fixed it up and sold it to a guy over in Alabama. Mike didn’t buy it from that guy I don’t imagine? I went through that ppc and replaced every piece of rubber on it. I had to repair the radiator too but it was a sweet ppc
Hi Tom, long time no talk. I am thinking about adding Audio to my GoPro footage and wondered if you had ever messed with that. I think it will add a lot more to my videos if I can narrate them. When you land you are talking I think into your galaxy phone? Hope all is well with you and yours. I’ve recently gotten back into the RC truck Hobby, they are a lot more expensive than they were in the 80s!
The audio in my videos is coming from the camera I have clipped on my hat. You can use whatever you want to record narration after the fact, then just add that audio to the video in editing. I've slowed down on the RC flying, but I'll still get a good day of flying in once a month still. Too many hobbies these days!
@@tomrc4328 Thanks for the reply Tom! I don’t have any editing software, I just take what I get for my Gopro and put it on RU-vid. The reason I use RU-vid as I was running out of space on my computer and phone storing video files! I do have a microphone coming that should be able to allow me to narrate while I fly, time will tell. Enjoy your hobbies!
Oh yeah I watched it all lol.. I have 582 and 550T. Singleton seater Buckeye, I’m 300lbs and off the ground in 40’-50 ‘lol… I’m Going have to find some where to open her up on the ground
Not so much issues of pull not pushing. Deck needs sealed so wash over doesnt Fill Hull. Bevel the sides from back to front so can Slide and Not HooK like when came ashore. The motor weight is too fwd. Lean your bottom needle a bit, should help it start. The hull has large flat surface area , this creates lots of SuctioN to the waters surface to overcome. Very Nice Cage n rudder setup, id like to see test where you shift that assembly back like the full scale airboat setup
Nine 109 cubic inch cylinders. Air cooled 4-cycle optimized for torque. Piston = 5-something inch diameter. Stroke = about the same. From 985 total cubic inches it made over a thousand foot pounds of torque at a low low 2300 rpm and when multiplied together those numbers mean 450 Clydsdale-Power : )
