It’s been a while… but Project Summit is back! 🎨✈️ In this long-overdue fifth instalment, we finally bring some colour to the Summit 3 — a classic retro F3A pattern plane I’ve been restoring piece by piece. In this episode: 🎯 Covering the wings with a fresh new look 💨 The fuselage gets a stunning paint job by Steve Underwood 😅 Plenty of challenges along the way (and a few lessons learned!)

Adding the Colour | Project Summit | Part 5
In this episode of Beyond the Sticks, we’re recording from the brand-new studio for the very first time — and joined by special guest AeroSmithyRC. We chat about how we started our own flying group (not a club!), what makes it work, and how it keeps the fun in flying. Then, we can’t resist diving into the new Futaba T26SZ Pro transmitter — and, well… let’s just say there’s a bit of a rant! All in good fun, loads of laughs, and some real talk about what keeps the RC hobby enjoyable. 🔗 Links 🔸 Follow AeroSmithyRC on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AeroSmithyRC 🔸 Watch previous episodes: Beyond the Sticks Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbCw2HkRPHsFZQ19WpmmdVLLhgkZnZ3ss 🔸 Interview with FTL at JetPower 2024: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I53Kk8dyDhA 🔸 JetPower 2024 walk around with Smithy: https://youtu.be/5RCQBUD-7jg 🔸 Apex Aerotech: https://apexaerotech.com 🔸 Project Summit: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbCw2HkRPHsEEfztUU0W47rGxROgFx-E0 🔸Please subscribe to my channel!🔸 https://www.youtube.com/@MattTakharRC?sub_confirmation=1 🍵If you want to say thanks, please Buy Me a Coffee🍵 https://www.buymeacoffee.com/matttakharRC *Donations will be spent on planes, not coffee! ✅ MY EQUIPMENT ✅ 🔸Camcorder - Panasonic HC-X1500E 4K https://amzn.to/3LthbIH 🔸RØDE Microphones VMNTG VideoMic (Shotgun) https://amzn.to/3mWYD9y 🔸RØDE Wireless Go II Dual Channel Wireless Microphones https://amzn.to/3JIJRfl 🔸Video Editing - Final Cut Pro (Free Trial Link) https://www.apple.com/uk/final-cut-pro/trial/ *Some links are affilated, which means I get a few pence but it doesnt impact you ✅ MY OTHER SOCIAL SITES ✅ 🔸Instagram Matt Takhar RC -https://www.instagram.com/matt.takhar/ 🔸Facebook Matt Takhar RC - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100088582133850 ✅ NEW TO MY CHANNEL? ✅ Hi, I'm Matt when I’m not busy working my 'day job' in tech I like to spend time doing my main hobby which is all things related to radio controlled aircraft.
