Is instagarm the only option for keeping tabs on your autopilot install? Some of us don’t swing that way…

Re: 170 autopilot install

pretty much. when stuff is done i'll get some info and pics into the 170 sub group under aircraft types but for any day-to-day when i'm working on it the plane's instagram will have videos. I expect servos to be installed next month. working on electrics and wire runs and prep before the holiday.

This is too funny... those wankers.

Bruce and George actually permanently banned me from that forum. George kept going into my posts and changing the content I was writing... He wouldn't stop, and I got pissed... pulled all my content there and started posting it here. They then banned me for life. HAHAHAHA

Zane has been a bit more accommodating to say the least.

Meh...I say just post it all on Instagram where you won't be able to find it 2 days from now, which doesn't matter because you gotta watch a guy wreck his mountain bike or a cat knock some shit off the counter. But some Sri Lankan guy at a click farm will like it. Maybe even follow you.
