    THE WILGA

    Well recently I have acquired a 1/5th scale wilga witch is looking a little sorry for itself and I'm going to me doing a lot of work to this aircraft that I'm going to create a vlog about witch will be on my youtube

    And I will be posting pictures here and no dout may spam yr old facebook

    So what do I have to currently say about this plane first of it's a airworld model
    It's got a 2.2m wingspan
    It has a ridiculous amount of dead weight on the nose at the moment
    the paint is fairly had it
    repairs have been done and I'm doing some

    All in all shes not to bad and I could get it together and fly "tomorrow" but I've had a idea
    and this idea has been sparked by a few diffrent things one you guys and motion rc watching you guys customise your aircraft is amazing i ant say I've been more involved in a facebook page a youtube account or a forum like hobbysquak I live watching it and talking to you guys aspeshally laughing at DR james today

    Then the mighty alpha said he would like to see this and feari g the rath of the red eye here it is

    As you can see living in a small flat and working on a 1/5th scale plane is hard aspeshally when one half of the living room is already plane storage
    if I suddenly stop posting on here my other half has finally killed me for all the planes

        Those pics remind me of putting my big birds on the bike lift table before the infamous garage inferno that destroyed the majority of my fleet and 3 Harleys :face_with_symbols_o
        I can't say that I ever used a bottle jack to hold a plane up though

          haha I know but it was convenient while working on the suspension and extending the landing legs

          And my mate is a bike mechanic so I try steal his bench where I can for these as it's so large and as it's a 50cc petrol hes fairly good at getting it running and set up

              Tank guy It would interest me! I'd just need to know what day and time in the world you'd be going live, and I'll do my best to make it.

                    It's ok, I have around 15 subscribers. It's just not my platform. You'll get to 1,000 eventually, I'm sure. In the meantime, perhaps jump into one of the other livestreams as a guest. The Community has many of these types of outlets to engage and interact with like-minded RC Nuts.
