Welcome aboard Dan

Having flown nitro helis and quads for many years I recon steam is far more addictive – you can smell it!

Hi Dan,

Welcome to the forum. We don't care how many props you've got, all welcome

In fact a thread on drone building would be interesting!

Here is a picture of one of my six inch vertical boilers installed in a tricycle – being entered into a race in France later this year.
