Cool!
Nice job filming!

Thanks! I think that first take off was nearer 6ft than 5....But it waaas an XL so is there a longer takeoff distance than a regular one?

 

[Houndpup Rc]

gonna try and do mine tomorrow.

I thought it ended last night........

I was getting great flights on 10 May. The wind was initially ideal, and I was using my FT Tutor.


... then the wind got crazy, I tried to peel away to go around with low airspeed... and the wind put me in the dirt. Getting a new prop to try and get something.

I still have my Micro cargo plane on the board. Stay tuned. I'm missing key parts (on order).

Well... my son and I went to the park this morning with the Tutor with High Hopes and Dreams of Flight!
Here is the result of my attempt at the 2025 STOL challenge, LOL.

I think your bush plane like the bushes more than the air
Too bad it didn't take off!

You're not wrong! But hey, maybe I'll get a special "best Gooney Bird" award! I figured the video was funny at least.

You were fine! I mean, you actually hosted it, right? I'm thinking Fishbones Air may host an Air Ambulance for the Fall. The idea is kinda bouncing around my dusty brain cells.

Hey, anyone going to Flitefest 2025?
