Have they flown?
Hello Jim, thanks for your comment. I have flown the Mini Sportster and the Mini Scout already – although my results turned out to be heavier than indicated in the guidelines ( I’m sure that I spent - and spend still – way too much hot glue…) it was and is still a pleasure to fly them in calm conditions, they don’t like too much wind. I haven’t flown the Pietenpol yet, but it’s only a question of days and weather conditions - Maiden coming soon
! I started the FT expierience last XMas, when I got a Tiny Trainer Speed Built Kit. During the build I made any imaginable fault (wrong glue, insufficient tools, working without video etc.). However, surprise: The „Thing“ flew. I searched through the net, had a lot of fun with the videos and became familiar concept and, last not least, the refreshing spirit of the whole thing. So I ordered the respective tools, which are actually few and affordable, discovered suitable foambord and now I’m learning step by step, have fun and get inspired. I’m far away from being a RC-expert or something near, although I have been enthusiastic about airplanes, model building- and (within my technical and financial limits) -flying since I don’t know when. I was born in 1964 in the South Black Forest (The very Southwest of Germany, Triangle Switzerland – France – Germany, where I still live. Want to have a look?:
