I'm that guy, it's really weird though

DrIkB:


I used to regurgite right from childhood until Sept 2017

Weird indeed

DrIkB:


I used to regurgite right from childhood until Sept 2017

Alright.
There's this guy I knew who could actually regurgitate food. Some humans may have ruminant traits.

It's never too late as long as you're healthy and can pass your medical exam

Alright, thanks. I won’t give up just yet.

superamoled:
Securing a pilot job in Nigeria is near impossible and I'm saying this as a commercial licensed pilot in Nigeria without a job even after obtaining my certificate of flight instructing and spending millions of Naira (sponsored) on building flight hours.

It feels like it was not worth pursuing and spending all that money on a dream that will be crushed by this country.

Anyone with a pilot job connections should please link me up. Willing to fly any type of plane (type rating required or not)

At what point would it be too late to pursue a dream in aviation?

I'm equally confused. Let the medics have a say. Add prayers to whatever you do.

Explorers:
Immediately you and the policemen took off, the bomb exploded.


My question to you is, how did you guys out run the shock waves that destroyed those building and everything in path like over 50meters away in radius

You know how it happens in the movies right? They run and just before the explosion they jump into the air then fall to the ground and they are saved.

Point is what the man said doesn’t add up. He wouldn’t have had enough time to run to safety. There’s something fishy about the story after all.

Today, 14th January, is my birthday.
I had planned to go flying my delta wing model but haven't been able to fix it after it crashed on Sunday. So I decided to rebuild it and maybe share some of the steps in turning flat polystyrene sheets into a flyable model. Unfortunately I didn't take much dimensions since I wasn't building to a particular scale.

Here are some pictures of the build

Guess the build is complete. Hope to see some videos soon. What’s your wing loading?

Wishing you a very happy birthday. I pray for more of God’s grace upon your life. May you remain always happy.

The thing can be quite bulky. It's cheap to buy but sending it your way would cost a fortune

Do you have the dimensions and possibly a picture of a standard sheet and how much does it cost?

RCDIY:


Keeping weight down is a challenge but polystyrene takes care of that nicely. Apart from unavailability, Balsa planes take lots of time to build and do not survive crashes well.

Foamies are foamies. You can bash it all you want and glue it back quickly after a crash.

There's a company close to my location that deals in polystyrene. I get them nicely pre-cut.

But if you're around Lagos, a friend gets his from one market.

What's your exact location?

My location is Uyo, Akwa Ibom.
How possible is it to get some polystyrene foam from your location?

RCDIY:
I've found fixed wings much cheaper to play with, especially delta wing models.
With the right materials, it costs less than 2k to make a frame.
Electronics would be 2pcs of servos, one motor and battery (except if you're like myself that love to use flight controllers).
Of course you'd have a Radio Transmitter (and receiver) to begin with.

The model below took about 2 sheets of 10cm X 100cm X 120cm polystyrene sheets to build. Cost (of polystyrene) is about 2k.
I'll share a video showing the build process later

This is beautiful! The major challenge I have building fixed wing is keeping the weight down as much as possible given that balsa wood isn’t readily available and could be quite expensive to purchase. I’ve always thought about where I could get those polystyrene sheets to build with. Where did you get those from?

stevmatt:


This is more than a mistake
Imagine producing much of that cloth, you buy I buy,, and we will keep speaking the same English,,, it is bad... It can corrupt our kids.

I can understand how you feel about this. However, an illiterate is defined by his/her inability to read or write. The man in this case can do both - or so I think. He isn’t an illiterate after all.

MrBrownJay1:
illiterate....you say MUCH better, not "more better"

And just a mistake makes him an illiterate right?

I wish to own and fly a plane someday.
Even if it’s a piper cub

Good move. Yesterday, I paid 500 Naira (“payment is legal”)to pick up a parcel from their office but wasn’t issued an official receipt. We need people who are determined to be honest in their dealings. This fight against corruption is far from over.

What do I know? Just prepare your mind for the worst while hoping for the best.

Not again

Too much work after getting drunk. Not worth the trouble. Stay sober guys.

RCDIY:


Someone crashed a jet worth $14,000 2 yrs back. Before the wreck was reached, there was nothing to salvage as the plane burst into flames on impact.

Not sure I'll ever spend more than a few hundred bucks on this hobby at a time.

No way!! That was a colossal loss. I can't spend much myself. That's why I prefer to scratch build using locally available material. Anyways, I can be certain the person in question has not left the hobby as a result of the loss.

RCDIY:


Nah! That's not me flying ooo! That's a Jet-powered plane worth over 700k. Na one of my ogas get am. I have some foam fixed wings and still training.

Scratch build is interesting, I know. When I get comfortable flying, I'll definitely build one large glider.

Thank you.

Flying something that expensive does need very experienced hands. Kudos to your Oga. I've always loved fixed wings. Hope to fly a real one someday.

I'm beginning to pick interest in fixed wing RC.

This is wow. But aren't flying as if you've just started picking interest in fixed wings. Nice one. Guess you've got some onboard flight stabilizers. Wish I had similar open space around. Have you thought about scratch building? It's fun you know. Have fun!

eagleeye2:

it will be recognized. If you ever need to present your FSLC and they are in doubt about the date, then you explain yourself it's very simple.

Thanks

eagleeye2:

Your Testimonial is just to show you finished from that school. it's not equivalent to your FSLC. It's better you go and sit for another exam. Unless you have no intention of ever applying or working for a government job.

Well, I sat for the exams recently. It was the only option I had. I'm not good at lying or forgery. Not quite sure if the certificate will be recognised or not. Hope someone can clear my doubt about this.

Nice!

It's been so long since I posted here. Too busy but still make time for the hobby now and then.

Hopefully, I will post some videos in the coming days.

Hello, I applied for n-agro, my program shows N-Agro but npower id starts with n-teach. Is there a problem with that? Discovered those I helped out their id starts with N-Agro Thanks for your reply.

Honestly, I really don't understand anymore how this love stuff works. I'd rather channel my energy into something more productive.
