Comments sought on new build: A CNC Router for RC Gliders and Planes

[njhussey]

Well last weekend I flew my plane that I made with my router....so this is a look what I've made on my machine post :)

Pity it wasn't a glider - must have been some good thermals under those clouds!

Well done - great sense of satisfaction in building something using a machine you built yourself. Nice landing, too!

Cheers Neale, the wing loading is such that it can thermal, it's a real floater. It was satisfying telling everyone who asked about the plane that I made it from scratch on my CNC router I also made myself!

The landing was a good one, second had one hop skip and a jump

Neil Beautiful job. You obviously can fly as well. Brill.

Brilliant job!
The sky was very cinematic too, you couldn't have picked a better backdrop for filming,

Lovely job well done. Those high wing trainer types are very relaxing to fly.

Jealous now as I haven't been flying for several years. Must get on with that Spitfire project ! . . . . after I've finished the MK4 router, and the house jobs list, and, and

Cheers Barry, that's what I wanted, a nice floaty relaxing plane....next one is another trainer type but for a 0.25 glow motor to scream about the sky and practice my inverted flying etc. etc.

I've still got stuff to do on the router...home switches, limit switches etc...someday!!

Cheers chaps

The sky looked brooding....1/2 hr later and it was a clear blue sky (but was sitting down having a sausage and bacon buttie , an hour later and it was tipping it down again Wasn't the best video as it was taken on my mate's phone...must get a GoPro (or equivalent) so I can strap it inside/outside and film. Would like to go FPV in it for a laugh
