Great topic, thanks 👍

Being a landowner I am within my rights to stop any and everyone using my land, a tenant farmer has them same rights. Guys Just because a place is fantastic for flying you have no god given right to fly and must obtain permission to be on that land. By reading some of your comments here I am not surprised that farmers are refusing right to fly from their land. Having said that I allow people to fly as long as they respect my property and text me beforehand. Just turning up will result being asked to leave

Who makes this ?

Nick, faithfully followed your great Pug 2 build video while putting together mine. Please provide info (brand, where to get) on the Lithium 1S 500 mAh battery you use. I haven't found one that fits the maximum space available (40x22x14mm) without altering the bulkhead supports.

hey mate wered ya get all that hair😋 seriously that ladys a sweet flyer! have seen kits for that model but am getting lazy in my years and wishing an ARF came along.............

your crazier than I thought mate...........that goose couldnt move fast enuff😋 seriously, wish thier was someone with your spirit over here😎

And I thought it was gonna fly!!!!😂

needs a lil weight up front.

you need a better gimbal mate, your naration on the other videos are really god.

very informative mate, i hope your channel grows.

bonkers

cool

have that same bungee kit and wanting to make my pug for bungee launch, what kind of hook are u using??

dont have the pug u have but the earlier DL version thats flys just fine however thinking of making it bungee but with the space so limited in the fuse how are you reinforcing the hook area??

Awesome pond cruiser! Does position of centre of gravity mater? My concern is the front rising up catching air and flipping over. This Lidl air boat seems so stable. Excellent idea/build BTW. I can see flock of these racing, or doing some shallow water combat manoeuvres.

Very cool project Nick! Your videos are always fun to watch. I'm thinking that I need one of these to take to the beach, plus I could use it here in the winter to skim over the snow. Version 2 perhaps with dual motors and differential thrust?

You must have the most creative mind in the RC World ! Keep up the good work.

Im thinking of making one soon, nice build!

Good feature of air boats is there is no propellor in the water to get fouled by weed. Bad feature is they are banned at my local model boat club, the health and safety NIMBYs don't like the open air propeller. I was thinking of making a ducted fan version to get around the problem. Nice summer project, thanks.

Nice!

Nick nice video thanks! Where did you put the battery and receiver Nick and how did you get access, it’s all a bit tight in there!! Thanks..

Aaaaahhhhhhhhh. Not Aaaaarrrgghhhh😂

flying in light winds at the beach is a great way to chill

Nice untethered dune surfing. The colours from sand and grass help create to a reflective dreamlike scene.

💯 THERAPY...I FLY MY RADIAN SAILPLANE FOR THE SHEAR RELAXATION OF WATCHING FLOAT THROUGH THE SKY....VERY THERAPEUTIC...👍😎

👍👍👍👍

It's just what I need and I'm told that's therapy.

ever built a Mugi Nick?

Very nice, thank you.

Definitely relaxing mate!

lovely relaxed flying and a beautiful site, great advert for slope soaring. Wish we had a few more days like that in these parts, weather has been dire this year, no flying for weeks😢

Beautiful!

That seems kind of speedy for a Bee design.

Lovely. :)

Thanks so much Nick, Daz loved it and yours is nearly the same colour as the one my Bro Kev built us. Cheers and stay safe from #thetworogues

I made a 600mm Baby Bee out of depron during lockdown from outerzone plans - it was a lot of fun in the wind, it could do a barrel roll if I hit full rudder and elevator coming out of a dive 😁

Ideal for evening zephyrs

What was the wind speed. Whatever the reply I bet it was less.than 10mph. Which equals flat calm for the West of Scotland. A few weeks ago the forecast here suggested 5mph onshore winds so me and my flying mate took almost all our Angelwing planes (Pugs, Twistys, Micro Aquilas etc) to our local (not that high) sea dune site. We actually experienced 1 or 2mph on-shore winds on site meaning everything ended up landing on the beach below, shortly after launch.. As a result of a stroke 15 years ago my mobility is compromised so my mate Alan had to do most of the retrieving. At least he got a good athletic workout, even if the day resulted in very little flying. Which is another way of saying we both envy your North of Devon conditions.

My kind of aeroplane, small, quirky, simple. Lovely!

Nick. Great work by the way, please continue to post. I have a quick question about your Pug build. I recall you mentioning, I'm not sure if it was on this particular video but you said that you planned to color the wings ribs black? Could you tell me what type of finish? Was it paint, market, felt tip... Did it effect the covering adhesion at all? any tips on this would be appreciated, thanks.

Great sharing! Bravo ! Have a perfect time. Be well. Greetings! ~ Milan

Hi nick, since making the video is it still a good tent? The same tent is online 'refurbished' online for £339 instead of her £550 current price. The big question, would you pay the full price for it?

Your aviation-knowledge and decision-making look top-notch. Do your piloting skills benefit from flying rc-models?

Thi is one of my favorite models ever... I just did the standard build and if you move the cg back a bit it will roll and loop really fast with full throws. I use a 1s 150mah for light winds but it will take a 2s 300mah moved back a bit for ballast. Terrific design by anglewings.

I had a go at this years ago. My best advice is to make a small profile model (mine was about 8" wing span) and try to get that to glide indoors. You can iterate much faster, and don't need to care about making it look nice. As you've probably worked out, if the CG is in the correct place for the wing, the huge nose makes it unstable in yaw. Canards could work. I don't think clear fins will be enough, as they're too close to the CG. My profile version worked because the flat nose had almost no side area, and I still had to cheat a bit to add fin area at the back. I think you'll have to abandon the idea of an accurate model, and aim for a 'tribute', (maybe it's a later version x-wing). Move the wings forward, and possibly sweep them forward, and make the nose shorter.

I love small slopers. Is it a one-piece wing Nick? I fly with Andy (Angelwings) on Baildon Moor and know his Dad quite well.

Seem to getting close to achieving longer flight times. (0:52) If added a Tie fighter in chase, (using a clear plastic rod), the X-wing would be sure to escape gravity.

I suspect adding a canard the moving the CG forward will be the only way to get it to go. Ideally the canard would have elevators but maybe the existing elevons will work. Good luck!

Louis Blériot had the right idea with the layout of aircraft. Unusual layouts are to play with and even more fun to watch on RUclips. Good luck, the force will be with you eventually.

Thanks for the video. Please indicate in metric units what is the diameter, length and mass of the battery. Thanks
