@@JonathanProtheroe haha I did that when one of my planes flew away!!

@@TJMDRONES just got back from the airshow

Fantastic show, not a breath of wind, very overcast but warm, excellent flying of large models from 1st WW biplanes to modern day jets, a good day very enjoyable.

@JonathanProtheroe glad to hear. Was there a good attendance? Did you take some photos? I'd be happy to see some. Are you on instagram at all Jonathan?

@TJMDRONES No instergram but do WhatsApp or email, have some good photos and a jet flying that would be right up your street, your flying skills would have fitted in there perfectly

@@JonathanProtheroe yes I live not far from there. It's the main highway on the Gold Coast. Have fun my friend and soak it up

@TJMDRONES Been spending 😄 got some show discount, dx6e , just got to enrol in night school class for computer programming haha

@JonathanProtheroe spending is good when it's to do with hobbys!! Haha, you won't need programming classes. You've got this!!

@TJMDRONES TJM I also treated myself to the FMS P18 supper cub 1300mm, to fly whilst I'm building the Junior 60 , I like to take my time building and enjoy the process. So I've just managed to programme the transmitter for the P18 and the Apprentice. Reading re reading the manual and it's sunk in haha, it is user friendly, I'm enjoying learning about it, set the D/R at 70% for beginner.

@JonathanProtheroe great plane the super cub, the bigger wheels make landings a bit more forgiving. I like the process of building too. Great work with the programming!! Once you get it then adding more planes will be super easy. 70% is good to start and the beauty is that you can change it if you feel like it

@JonathanProtheroe oh trust me, the nerves are on edge!! A 1k plane I don't want to be crashing it. Got a 2100kv brushless motor

@TJMDRONES I'm quite excited going to the LMA show tomorrow morning, I will take some pics, forecast Sunny so hopefully some good flying.

@JonathanProtheroe very envious of you mate!! Hopefully it will be a cracker day and bring home some goodies as well

@JonathanProtheroe I love the sound though my landings need a lot of practice!!

With consumables ready for my junior 60 build, do you do WhatsApp, if so I could send you pics of the show

@JonathanProtheroe that sounds like fun, they will be doing some actual flying? There's not many of those type of things over here unfortunately

​@TJMDRONES yep there will be the larger models 20ft and a few smaller ones flying.

@@JonathanProtheroe I see these types of things on the internet and especially in the UK, shame theres nothing like that here considering

@TJMDRONES Hopefully the weather will be good, usually no bad conditions, past few years been really good, looking forward to browsing the trade stands, can I enquire what rc transmitter you use, because I've just come back to the hobby I got a spektrum dxs, nice and simple for me haha, however thinking of upgrading, need 6 channels maximum

@taylorv4 if that was filmed in normal video mode then the "well lit subject" would look a lot different then in night mode on the drone. The drone was also focused on the subject and not the background.

@@RedMeteor it's definitely on the cards in the next few weeks.

@JonathanProtheroe Thankyou mate. Borne out of necessity and it does the trick. Great for transporting in my car as well. I love, and I mean love the Falcon!!

@TJMDRONES omg I've just had the maiden flight, quite nervous, on my dinner break, I live on a farm so the field next to my house is big enough for a small plane like the Apprentice, oh I blummin loved, did a couple of circles, only used rudder and elevator, believe it or not 40 years of building and flying model aircraft never flown with alirons. Really enjoyed, back to work in a bit so second flight hopefully later on this evening. I need to ask your advice please on aliron movement direction.

@TJMDRONES Fantastic just come in from having 2nd flight, really nice got 6 minute flight using a 420mah Overlander battery, used ailerons for the first time, had it on safe mode switch, figure of 8s and round abouts, finished off with a nice gentle landing 10ft away. A few questions I would like to ask regarding throttle cut off.

@JonathanProtheroe morning mate. Awesome, you got through the maiden and managed a 2nd!! Living on a farm I'd make my own runway haha. I always use ailerons and only the last few months been using rudder a lot more. Though I always use rudder when on my final approach. What is it you'd like to know about the ailerons and motor cut off?

It's arrived, going to put my mobile number on it like you, I've just lost my latest model, Ben Buckel Diamond Demon bugger, just waiting on delivery of 2nd battery along with charging adapter for my Smart charger. Your vids are brilliant

@JonathanProtheroe you're from the motherland, I couldn't hold that against you haha. One of my older friends is from Birmingham

@JonathanProtheroe woohoo, new plane feels!! Did the demon fly away? Having your mobile number on it at least gives a chance of it being returned if it flies away etc, as long as someone honest finds it. Thanks for the compliment Jonathan, I just like posting my adventures. I just bought an F16 Falcon edf jet, that will be a video soon enough

@TJMDRONES I live in Wales and middle of nowhere, surrounded by hills and woods, my own fault, took it for a fly on too windy day, up it went and got blown away couldn't get it under control, so waved good by. First plane built after a 25 year break from the hobby, took 4 months to build over winter, had some lovely flying evenings this summer. I'm going to start building the BB Junior 60 and convert to electric, the Apprentice STOL should keep me happy flying whilst I build. Looking forward to seeing your next video, have a gooden.

@@TJMDRONES small world I escaped Birmingham city centre for the wilds of Mid Wales. My Aunty moved to Australia 50 years ago Queens land still there with her family grandchildren and all.

@JonathanProtheroe I used a 450mah 7.4v battery. It fits in really snug, just have to make sure the wiring is tucked in. I'm getting 9 to 9 and a half minutes flight time with this battery

@TJMDRONES Thank you for the reply, looking forward to flying mine when it arrives.

@@JonathanProtheroe you're very welcome. You most certainly have something to look forward to, happy flying!!

@JonathanProtheroe excellent purchase, it's such a fun plane. Have fun flying

Hi again, thank you for your advice well appreciated, I take delivery of the plane today, also purchased a spare battery, Overlander 450mah 7.4 2s 35c . Just to confirm it will be ok to use, I'm a newbie with electric flight. Once again thank you and I enjoy your excellent flying

@JonathanProtheroe Hi Jonathan. Here is a link to the 450mah battery that I'm using. I'm not sure where you're located but the link is to an Australian website, it will at least show you images and give a description. www.rchobbyland.com/im-r-c-450mah-25c-7.4v-soft-case-lipo-battery-jst?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwlbu2BhA3EiwA3yXyuz6pBOD8QbXjzvRGEgGWPws_Txm-swuOh0A4NenJ0Z1LDplSI6ULzhoCPxYQAvD_BwE

@JonathanProtheroe Also ascertain the connection plug on the battery fits the plane. In this instance a JST plug (connector) is required

I agree, the low light video mode is great

Looks fantastic 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@scenicvideography it's an awesome feature on the drone

@rogergreen9861 geez!! If it had ditched further out I definitely would've swam out to it, but after you seeing the shark there I think I'll choose a different flight zone!!

@FaziSabri From memory I think the closest is 3 or 4 metres from the subject.

Hi, they are participating in an Airshow on the Gold Coast

It's a short bro, if you had any smarts about you then you'd know there's a full video on it 😉

It is soooo much fun and I love how I can virtually fly it anywhere

It has been a long long time. Will be massive relief when it is finally finished

100%.

They are super useful

The commute is bad hence the need for upgrades and I think this will ease congestion a fair bit.

@@TJMDRONES yes but there 15 years behind and it won’t keep up with the amount of people moving there will see road works for the next 10 years +

I'm not disagreeing with you at all, something else will definitely need to be done to accommodate the growing population

Thanks Ken, I'll be doing more like this and I'll be including the screen recording

Thanks @michaelsaul8743

@RedMeteor I think they're working towards tugun, this section doesn't seem far off being finished.

@@TJMDRONESyeah they’ll probably open this first and then continue down. This is the worst section traffic wise anyways so should be a relief

@RedMeteor I drive through it nearly everyday and almost always it comes to a crawl

@RedMeteor it's on the way

Thanks Mathew. I like your videos, very well made.

@katesmiles4208 thankyou. It's easy to shoot such scenery that is naturally beautiful

@ronaldwilson9525 The air 3 has brilliant obstacle avoidance but it's definitely not set n forget. I find that using active tracking from behind is the safest as opposed to the drone tracking from the front. It also depends on the speed the drone is travelling at....the faster it's going the less time it has to detect any obstructions. It's not foolproof but it's an awesome feature

I didn't even think actually when I put the music on there

Did she like the video though?

You're very welcome Tom, I'm from Irish decsent. My grandfather was born there and whilst my nan was Aussie she always wanted to visit Ireland so it was my duty to make sure she did. Best and most beautiful country she went to she said. One day I'll get there myself.

@@TJMDRONES No doubt you will don't forget to bring the drone there is some incredible locations here for flying and also don't forget a rain jacket :D

@tomguinan6916 my drones will be the first things packed haha. Do you have an instagram account with your drone footage? I'd love to see some. Most of my footage is on my instagram tjm drones

Didn't need an adapter as the 450mah battery has a jst connector which is the same as the 300mah battery that came with the plane

@@TJMDRONES Thanks! That's great information. Much appreciated. Happy flying.

Can walk right up to the perimeter fence

John, it's such fun plane to fly. At this point it's my favourite plane.

2034 maybe??!!

@@TJMDRONES Cynical, and I think incorrect.

Haha I'm sure it was meant to be finished end of last year!!

@@TJMDRONES Yes. Covid, record rains ...

@@starpawsy I totally get that

Excellent choice of drone Paul, you'll have heaps of fun with it and exploring the active tracking. The ebike is great for it.

Hope you have been well my friend ✌

@@TJMDRONES 👍👍

Hi there and thanks. Its relatively new here in Australia ive been told and it is sooo much fun. I'm probably getting only around an extra minute and half to 2 minutes but I actually haven't flown to near critical stage yet.

@@TJMDRONES I have very limited space to fly so I picked myself up one of these. They look like so much fun! Thanks!

@WarbirdPylonRacer enjoy it my friend!!

Wow there are so many poles out there mate! You did really well to avoid them. Nice flight.

@jonowillmer unfortunately it's the only area anywhere near me to fly. Apart from the light poles it's rather open. Thanks mate 👍

Thankyou my friend ❤️
