Thanks mate. I’m pretty stoked with how it all went. It was worth the effort to wriggle it out to the front yard. Boy, we got some funny looks from the traffic going past!
Love it! It may have just been out of the frame, but for a first start I didn't see a fire extinguisher anywhere in sight. I would hate to see your beautiful plane damaged or worse. Great build please keep the videos coming.
Wow. What a great day. Congratulations I am so excited for you and your family. I have enjoyed watching the build and I know what a big day this is for you. Thank you so much for sharing all of your build videos
Well Don I was expecting you to use a lightening bolt to bring it to life but your went all technical 🙂 I am so happy for you mate, you have worked hard to get here. Blood brilliant, can't wait to see the next lot of progress.
Thanks mate. I’m a big fan of mr Bowden’s metal polish. It’s done a great job of keeping Frankenstein clean while I build it. It’s going to look awesome when it’s all together I reckon
That impending collapse you headed off at the pass was a reminder of a small misadventure I had with a home made amphibious airboat. Whilst wheeling it down a short section of paved road, the left tyre bound against a kerb. It did not climb. The leg instead bent inwards and upwards like a slowly melting candle and tore away at a weld.
hell yeah, so awesome. found your channel from your metal shaping vids but have gone through and watched this series. bloody magic. I have the same bunnings safety step, ha ha. awesome work as always. I can only imagine how stoked you are to have that prop spinning. congrats
Dancing in the Storm! Love your zest for LIFE! Now... you have a GIANT backyard van! (Good Onya' Mate - as you say down there!)
Thanks mate. I’m pretty stoked with how it all went. It was worth the effort to wriggle it out to the front yard. Boy, we got some funny looks from the traffic going past!

Fun to see it all happening in your garage and yard, and on a low budget! Gives me hope and incentive! Thanks for the report!
Thanks mate. I’m glad it gives incentive for you. You also become a master at Tetris!

Oh boy, that would’ve been painful! I’m glad we caught that problem when we did
Outstanding work mate. Awesome effort!

@@donwtsn thanks thats pretty cool
I love it

Its Alive, its alive!!!!
Shouldnt there be thunder and lightning for the awakening of Franky?? (P.S> I think the wing is a bit narrow..)
Haha yep! If I had the know how to do that in a video I would for sure! Yeah, that little wing isn’t really STOL huh!
Its performance wouldnt be up to Drako standard.. for sure..
Hehe, I don’t think anything could match Draco’s performance. What a machine!
