Show us your maidens!

[mrjdstewart]

no video but all 3 of my maidens went well today. maybe tomorrow i will get someone to take some video. i know we got some pics, but i don't have them yet. flew the Arrow with FPV and all i can say is i am in love. i already loved this wing, built prob 10+ at this point, but flying FPV is just too much fun! the Goblin was just stupid fast and needs some color. i was waiting to see if it would die again...my last caught fire!

love the videos. i know i should take more but what can i say, i just want to fly.

laters,

me

got some video of the goblin today. hard to see it is so fast but the noise is worth the price of admission.

gave it to a friend as soon as i was done with the 2nd flight of the day. told him i wanted the electronics back when he crashed it.

laters,

That's cool! Love the whole family involvement! Reminds me of my first flights of my goldberg electra back in the 80's!

When is a maiden not a maiden? For me if I manage to stay in the air it’s a maiden! If I made tweaks since the last crash I think that is definitely a maiden! 🤓🤨😝😫

My definition is all new builds, or anytime after crash damage has been repaired, if it goes farther than I could throw it that counts as a maiden flight. All maiden flights get all the precautions of extra triple checking the throw directions, CG, prop direction, no-slop servo connections, secure hatches. And calling out to the other people around to be ready to duck and cover - it's only fair to let them start running early

I flew again this morning and it wet great, well except for the last flight. I'll post pictures later.

Awesome! For your next build you should do the scout.

Isn't the Scout a Trainer plane? I want something a little harder to fly. Maybe the spitfire or something.

I have a 40a ESC I want to use so I have to build something big.

The Scout is a great all around performer - I was using mine as a 3D / Knife Edge / Inverted trainer as well as a streamer combat flyer. I say was because I was looping around towards my buddies streamer and did a figure 9 from being too low

It's on my rebuild list though - just needs a new fuselage

It isn't a trainer, it is just a sportish plane.

It isn't a trainer, it is just a sportish plane.

If you are talking about the mini scout then yes it's more of a trainer, but the swappable sized one is more of a sport plane you said.
