This time it's Ron's turn to fly an old-school RC plane, a glider he put together from the bag of mis-matched wings and fuselages he bought recently. It flies okay too! But what was the bit that fell off?

I love old school! I think every effort should be taken when possible to remaiden those old birds. Mabe redress them if need be but Its such a shame seeing old planes just hanging in garages and out buildings until they fall apart from disuse. Sometimes its hard to get these old duffers to let loose a classic plane,too many good memories I guess. If more people were like Ron,we would be enjoying more video's of these classic crustys. I say leave them as is if possible too. Those paint spots give it character. I under stand you are just having a bit of fun with ole Ron,some people need to lighten up. If it bothered him,he would say something. Give it a break people,kidding is part of the flying fun.

It's a Sig Riser 2m Fuselage with a Carl Goldberg Gentle Lady 2m wing on it. Looks like a 400 or 450 sized motor, 8-9" prop. Weight should be in the 35-40oz range, as the Riser is 30ish ounces in regular glider form.

Not Sure Yeah i understand that people joke around, but it just seems that Bruce finds a way to make fun of everything that Ron does, or he questions Ron about what hes doing as if Ron is dumb. For example, in this video he acts as though Ron doesn't know what gravity is at 7:30.
@silentseawolf8 жыл бұрын
he is just taking the piss. And ron gives it right back. You have to have ear for sarcasm. Ron is a pilot I believe, or was in a previous xjet video, so he knows how to fly just fine. I assume that at their point in life, a spectacular failure is more entertaining that a mild success, why else hobble together crazy plane ideas.
