What I've been up to - Armstrong MT500
Posted: 25 Nov 2019, 08:11
I have been missing from the world of aeromodelling for a number of months, only occasionally popping out to fly my Lidl glider, this has been partly down to time and partly due to the recent and impending legislation, anyway, here are a couple of pix of my MT500, converted to electric start (with a replacement engine) by Steve White in the Forest of Dean, who has now emigrated to South America (was it that traumatic?), which is how I came by the bike.
After a few tinkerings and fettlings, plus a new set of Mitas E07 tyres it recently sailed through the MOT. The plans for now are just local buzzing about plus a little green lane riding, something I have never done before, but as the TET (Trans European Trail) passes only 30 miles from my house I fancy a go at bit of it. Next year I am planning a trip to the Somme area, to visit the graves of two great uncles who were killed in 1916, after that... dunno, more buzzing about I expect.
