The mild but breezy and damp weather we've had here in my area means I've been grounded and I'm dying to get out and get some flight time in. Not getting any flight time in is annoying, especially as I'm not the most patient of people. Since I sold my quadcopter a while ago, I've built a Tiny Trainer, bought a Durafly Retro Junior and a HK Skymaster V2. I had some cash spare so I've also bought a HK Walrus. The idea was that I'm going to start out on the Tiny Trainer, progress to the Retro Junior and then move on to the Skymaster. I saw some videos of the Walrus though and like the gliding ability of this plane so I got it.
I'll probably try the Walrus after the Retro Junior. I built the Walrus up today and it's hanging in my garage. I'm looking forward to trying it at some point. One thing I've found is getting a 2200mah 3s battery in the bay is a squeeze. I had to push one end under the servo arms. The stickers that were applied were done so shockingly. There were bubbles and bad cuts where the stickers went over the control surfaces that needed sorting. I'll probably take them off at some point and might use coloured packing tape instead. I'm looking out for a printer who can do some custom decals for me too, with my website logo.
Have any of you guys flown the Walrus? How did you find it?
