Yes I wouldn't risk either plane from a grass runway. Look forward to meeting up. The A330 will probably take a few months to complete at this stage, hopefully before the summers out.

That video is Amazing!

You must be some pilot John to send that up with no power!

The good thing is we are actually right beside each other, I'm from Newry, is it Armagh city you are from?

I covered all of the Ryanair with thick tissue and polyc (Epoxy) Is yours actually fibreglass?

Im not sure where Dublin came from, but I mentioned Droheda earlier, as this is the only flying club with the runway I need that I can find, do you know any other spots around here?

Also, instead of just seeing the A330, how would you fancy being the test pilot on the maiden?

I'm too scared.....and I have a lot to learn and need to put more hours in on my petrol trainer before risking the big bird!

One of the guys at Drogheda is going to maiden the Ryanair....Id love to get a video made similar to this with the two of them in action at once!

That 787 sure is nice, think I am going to have to add one of them to my Hangar! The engine pods look huge, is it for 70mm John?

Hi John,
Thank you for your kind words, it is quite coincidental, as I have a folder saved on my PC over the last 2 years with pictures I have collected that have inspired me and fuel my love of RC airliners, and this happens to be one of them:



Is this you?!

Your plane is absolutely amazing, how did you finish yours?

For my Ryanair I covered it in PolyC, its now pretty solid, in fact as hard as a rock as I went a little overboard in the covering!

Its good to see somebody else with an Airliner in Ireland, I guess I was that busy looking at the plane in your picture that I totally missed the distinctive Irish countryside in the background! Where are you based?

Also I assume your A380 will be powered? Looking forward to seeing it!

Gavin

Hey Fred,
No problem! Yes, I don't think there are any other RC scale airliners in Ireland, although I hope I am wrong there!
