Dude, I'm serious. If Michael Angelo himself watched this video, he'd be jealous of your talent. Just love it.

Woohoo! Another NumaVig video drops! I wish you could partner with FliteTest in the US so they could make and distribute your designs here in the US. Your engineering improve woth each new design.

Terrific to watch mate, and it look's like it fly's like a gem. Noted the full left turn before the first take off - nice tip to the original manufactures...😎

I have a silly little trick for you: Cut one end of your stir stick off at 90 degrees and then sharpen it at an acute angle like a chisel. Now you have a precision spreader that can get into tight corners. Save the rounded end for fillets.

Отдельный лайк за подготовку аэродрома к полёту! Ледовая ВПП, как в Антарктиде. 🐧🛩👍🥇

Nice work as always!
(you might consider sponge wheels for more realistic and effective ground handling)

Amazing👍Compared to the early videos, the time spent cutting and sanding has been reduced and the assembly is progressing smoothly. Making full use of high-tech tools, this is an amazing slow-flight scale model✈️😍👏

The build quality of your latest models is truly impressive. Thank you for sharing, I hope you continue. I'd be very interested by a video showing your CAD process.

Hola Sr.Numa,estoy encantado cada vez que le veo construir,me prece hasta ahora,la persona que más limpiamente prepara sus modelos y con la exactitud con la que une todas las piezas,sus modelos estan realmente muy bien construidos,con CNC para depron e impresión 3D. Felicidades por sus aeromodelos y le seguuiré. Lástima que aqui en España no hay depron de 3 y 6 Mm.,los retiraron del mercado y nos han dejado tirados,en fin...spain... enhora buena y muchas gracias por todos lo planos que nos ofrece. Un abrazo cordial.
