Just A Tinker
@john-gardi.bsky.social
I've always been a tinker.
I started by taking stuff apart.
Then I learned how to put stuff back together, then how to fix it.
It's a way of life for me really.

I recently got a 3D printed remote control 1903 Wright Brothers Flyer in the air!
I gutted a $30 toy RC plane to get the gear for my plane.
I may not be able to be a pilot so I make planes I 𝘤𝘢𝘯 fly. 🧑‍✈️

Victory!
This was my first successful flight test of my RC 1903 Wright Flyer!
During taxi tests I realized I'd gotten the motors positions reversed and had to swap them.
After a few glide tests onto the couch I decided to go for it.
I did as good as the original Wright Brother first flight at least!

I'm 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 pleased with how this version of my Wright Flyer turned out.
The X shaped crosswires I added on a lark actually made the airframe a 𝘭𝘰𝘵 stiffer and stronger.
When I glued the plane together everything went rigid with the wings as tight as a drum.
I could bounce a dime off them... so I did!😁
