Same again - been in a light aircraft twice, fine.

The high ropes course in front of my school kids ... Somewhat more embarrassing for me 🙂

I'm terrified up a tall building but absolutely fine in a light aircraft. How does that work? 

Same for me, never felt afraid in small planes or a helicopter.

I recall watching a programme about Paruchute Regiment training, and one of the cadets missed the first jump (which was from a balloon 800 feet up) due to illness. He went on to complete all the other jumps from much higher up, but needed to do the balloon jump to complete the course but when it came to it, he couldn’t jump so failed. I think it’s something to do with the proximity to the ground perhaps?

 

Oddly enough though, watching videos of people jumping out of planes doesn’t make me feel bad, but looking at nutters standing on the top of very high buildings or towers absolutely does! Some strange psychological effect no doubt.

Not for me cos I'm perfectly OK flying low. Won't risk a balloon ride though.....

Just finished working on my roll bar covers. Fairly small pieces of CF but they reminded me of my build days and how nervous I get cutting up bits of bodywork! Not perfect but happy with the outcome.

Driver IC's were available. I may have a spare ECU if you're sticking with old school.

Thanks I have sent it to Ian oddie who seems to be the mbe guru for replacing the drivers

Only heard good reports about Ian, love to know how you get on.

With the high level brake light, did you run the wire along the roll bar or have you drilled it and threaded it through inside somehow?

I drilled and tapped the roll bar for the brake light fixings and wiring, the wire then runs within the roll bar.

 

I had to drill a hole in the bottom of the roll bar mounting plate which I managed to do (carefully) with the rear wheel off and roll bar in place.
