In the damp a soggy footsteps of Captain Nemo
@jumpugly Morning. The motors are Graupner Speed 400’s running through 3:1 gear reducers. The transmitter is a Taranis QX 7 with a Taranis receiver. Two esc’s for independent throttle control. The throttles have a mix that slows the inboard prop in turns to increase the maneuverability. Three blade props in fixed Kort nozzles with rudder.

That Bluebird is a 3D print and it weighs a ton. Wanted desperately to add a turbine, but the cost was prohibitive so I put a Traxxas Spartan prop chassis in it. It remains to be seen if I will ever get it to plane. It is my sincere desire that someone, someday, will market a built up all wood kit that an EDF can power. One can only hope.

Yessir!!!!
The story of my life in a picture.
However,
-- I don't fly anymore. Ever see a grown man cry?
-- I Don't build, restore, and race r/c F1 cars anymore...Tamiya parts are expensive!
-- I Build train dioramas when I can. Fascinated with Trestles.
-- I am scaling out a large scale "toy" X-wing fighter (on the bench) from Star Wars on a whim. Why? I don't know. But, using for weathering techniques I plan to use on my tug...I think.
-- The 1/10th scale Bluebird is just about done, but have run into a binding problem with the Traxxas electronics. No surprises there!
Yep that's me!
😂

RNinMunich so much over the years I have had a go at so many things.
One could a say a very large bucket list.
Okay mustn't sound big headed
Scratch built models like the London Horse Drawn Omnibus
Scratch built (of curse) boats
Off the grid hydroponic system
Many of item of household furniture
40 + cameras
String musical instruments
I did have a go at pottery and glass fusing
I reckon that's enough Col

Slightly Off Topic a 'Sunday Post'
Three years ago I held an exhibition of my pinhole a primitive lens cameras collection, one of the stars of the exhibition was a very smart marine blue under water pinhole camera.
Named after Captain Nemo submarine the 'Nautilus' I made it from plumbing pipe and a few other odds 'n ends a real fun camera.
Oh not another new project !? maybe not.
