About

I'm James! I make engineering videos ๐Ÿš€ Answers to some common questions: 1. I learned almost everything by building models as a kid. 2. I donโ€™t have an engineering degree, as in school I found maths quite difficult. Everything is self-taught! 3. My first RC plane was a Super Cub, which I still have to this day. 4. I drive a Mini. 5. The other people who help make these videos are Emma (who assists with building all sorts of things), Hannah (who films the big tests), and other friends who enjoy helping out from time-to-time. 6. My #1 top tip for getting into this stuff is to build model kits! Subscribe!

Disclaimer: This project was done carefully and safely in a private field after consulting the British Model Flyers Association (BMFA) and CAA article 16 guidelines. Always check your model / drone flying rules. Do not recreate this.
