looks like fun!

 

Trust me it is!

 

smart video really liked that alot

 

Very nice

 

Some nice powerful motors there, like those carbon wings

 

Thanks guys!

 

Not a bad approach, but didn't flare enough on landing..
Dog on runway! Tut..

 

Saw myself! Lol

 

Hi,

it ran out of elevator,

Off camera the dog ( Wilf ) decided to bite the tail off, so now no elevator at all.

They do glue back together though (luckily).

You Pilots, you are all the same, David who is a retired partner in scoobyclinic, had a few real planes in his time, I remember him dive bombing our workshops in a single seat stunt plane playing at Spitfires !!

We also look after a scoob that belongs to a world class sky diver, he has in the past parachuted in to collect his car, madness...........

I just love planes.

cheers
Kev

 

We love Wilf !!!

Good to see that handsome Steve777 on it at 2mins 20 and my car at 3mins 17

 

Best vid so far, mostly due to the oldschool kickass tune

 

Funnily you weren't filming my stunning good looks last Friday though, were you

 

I don't want to go there no more lol it sets me off , I think yeah I'm not gonna do much more to mine , then when I go there I realise how much more I have to do
It will never end
I always spot somthing I like

Dannys race car is this weeks favourite

Btw thanks for sorting me out chaps

 

Me too!

My favourites were the Slingsbys, like this one I was "racing" for a publicity picture at Dunkeswell airfield. I think I was the first driver sponsored by a flying school!

 

Used to help my mate build Europa,s
From what I can remember looks very much like the slingsby in the pic

 

How much an hour is the rolling road for me and a mapper to use cheers I have 2.0 fully forged classic running simtec and one of your billet 46

 

Neat aircraft! unusual undercarriage on some versions. Rotax motor if I recall correctly. Statistic. 70% of homebuilt aircraft are never finished. Where are they all?
(Sorry for thread deviation, I blame KEV!)

 

Yeah they are rotax powered and mono , but they do conventional undercarriage now as well
By all accounts they are a nice handling aircraft , I don't fly but I've had to endure countless experiences from owners ( worse than scooby drivers lol)
Here's a snippet of what happend to my mate ( In a Europa iirc)


http://www.caa.co.uk/application.asp...etail&nid=1271

Yeah sorry for the hijack ( just blame Kev )

 

I know the Europa customers usually go on the factory visit and are aware what's involved in a kit build , but when the only bit that looks aircraft like turns up as a fuselage (that still needs masses of work ) and the rest is bags of bits and bobs , rolls of fibreglass and tubs of resin ,,, I would think the realisation kicks in and how much work is actually involved in the build



My mate used to undertake full builds and help finish many part builds

No doubt there's many sat untouched in countless workshops , never to see the light of day

Btw Kev , nice paint shop , nice big unit to work in , maybe it's time you got cracking on a big build ?

 

another good vid adam, love the remote planes

 

Hi,

we charge £50.00 for the dyno and an operator, if the job starts to take a long time then we take a view on what would be fair, something like £50.00 for the first hour, £45.00 for the next one dropping as we go on.

All prices + vat.

Alan, that’s a great shot of you in the plane above the car, WOW.

Toneh, you are right we could build a full size plane in our workshops, we do have the space, now there’s a thought......................

cheers
Kev

 

pmsl..STOP IT KEV..STOP IT...Dont give him any ideas guys cos he loves a challenge,there will be a plane on the dyno before long am telling ya.

 

Hi Glen,

you know it..............



Cheers
Kev

 

I Certainly do kev..lol.

 

Assuming the cameraman didn't move, the landing was downwind? no wonder you ran out of elevator!
Got a couple of F3A aerobatic models here if you're interested! You'd need a better surface as they've got retracts and PROPER engines - none of this awful electric stuff!

JohnD

 

That filter !!!! PMSL



I reckon I'm going to hang this on the wall

 

Well, he could, but he'd be a bit late on the aviation front.
I tuned a couple of these going back some fifteen years ago.
Subaru powered autogyro!
We just tied the back of it to a post and ran it up.
Er, mind the prop sir...







On the other hand, looking at the cars in the background, it must have been twenty years ago at least!

 

Hi,

no it was the same way I launched it, into wind, mind you with this 2.4 gig stuff the aerial is only short so no flag to let you know which way the wind is blowing, and as the field is in a bowl behind our workshops the wind direction does change, a fair old bit of turbulence.

I have a few with proper engines too but I must admit that my first thoughts on electric powered aircraft were soon changed the moment I threw one, clean, quiet and above all don’t let you down by cutting out just when you need the power, but I do have to agree, there’s nothing better than a correctly set up nitro one, the noise, the smell, vapour trails, all adds to the fun.

Contact me on info@scoobyclinic.com with some piccies of your planes, always interested,

Alan, you certainly have some great history to tell, Subaru powered autogyro, bet that’s fun, so long as the engine was built by a reputable company.

Cheers
Kev

 

Good taste in aircraft. here is one of my rides:




T67C, fully aero, 160hp, my PPL trainer, lovely to fly.

Don't know if these will come out;
