Lol it certainly is.

Here is a video of the first spin up test of hornet 2, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SEa-ilWTOM

It was done at the bottom of my garden using 2 hawkers directly connected to the magmotor (removing any potential problems with speedos or radio gear) with me huddled behind a piece of steel plate 10m away touching the contacts together.

The test was mainly just to check the mechanism and it all seems good. I think I can can free it up a bit more as it is a bit stiff but it will run itself in over time
