Took Black Bart out today, had a little mishap...video uploading now. will post link when complete.

Here is video link, poor Bart

After reviewing two things jump out at me, I did not notice the elevator had some up to it and that I had put the battery from the Racer into Black Bart when it should have been a 4s 2250 not a 3s 2200 , so I was tail heavy in the end. Can't believe I didn't do a CG check. Another foot higher and i would have landed in waist high bush and grass

yep, but huge jump on the learning curve, at least I know why it went that way. wing is still good so I have to give it another go, just because

More scrappy for good measure!

Well, I'm on to editing some videos now. I still have to do the exhibition, but that should be a one take video with no editing so that will be easier.

By the way it was an absolute pleasure to have participated in this challenge, it made me push myself to another level in the hobby and I got to participate with a lot of other people from all over the place and learn from their experiences as well. Bart2 will be back next year !

 

[Ratcheeroo]

Thats the spirit!

On the workbench myself! Lol

Janky chinesium servos are forcing a full wing rebuild... 😒

Got the videos done. I just have to edit and post them.

On my last cargo lift the plane got going the wrong way off the field. As I was trying to bring it back I managed to hit a light pole dead on. So, I got one cargo flight. I managed 79% of the plane’s weight.

Video later today.

...and I managed to modify my design to fit a whole 1806 motor in there!

(ignore my gullwing access hatches lol)

 

[Taildragger]

Since I can't enter this round, I think I'll build my entries before bush plane build challenge III to avoid not finishing in time lol

 

[Ketchup]

Just finished video editing and I'm uploading now! I messed up the landing part of the exhibition and the plane was basically cracked in half, but I think I got pretty close lol.

Sure looked tail heavy, that really sucks. I'm out of the count too, the weedwacker was not flying well and was unable to perform yesterday.
