Such a beautiful country
Looks awesome! Is that a sloping FT spitfire?here is the fairly average hat cam video with me swapping out with Jono - I cut out heaps of footage but is still the longest flights I have ever done - I labeled the sections with the alternating pilots!
You would go much farther (less headaches also) if you skipped my brain.@Wildthing - if we brainstorm we can achieve anything!
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been waiting for the Vista's maiden for a long timehere is a video of Jono flying my Vista after trimming it with a bit of down elevator - it was happily flying hands-off, and Jono showed me it can be aerobatic - I am still sifting through the hat cam for any footage of me maiden flying the Vista!
I am super happy with my own design and build performing so well!
. It looks like it flies beautifully!
The wait finally paid off! By the way, what weight fiberglass cloth did you use on your Vista?@Jackson T - you and me both (probably one year)! It flew really well, even a bit easier than the Spitfire (probably a better wing loading). Although I did not land it, Jono made it look easy compared to the Spit - The Vista has a fibreglass sheeted FB core wing which held up really well in the super-strong wind!
I might keep the folding prop on this one!
Wow. That's some serious flying going on! That looked like a close call at about 4:40! And can Jono pull off a landing, or what??!!here is the fairly average hat cam video with me swapping out with Jono - I cut out heaps of footage but is still the longest flights I have ever done - I labeled the sections with the alternating pilots!
What a great flying plane! No wonder you're so stoked! You designed and built a superb slope soarer! Congratulations!here is a video of Jono flying my Vista after trimming it with a bit of down elevator - it was happily flying hands-off, and Jono showed me it can be aerobatic - I am still sifting through the hat cam for any footage of me maiden flying the Vista!

Sounds like it flew really, really well - again! It sounded as though someone was looking for some advice on his 3d printed design, as well. I'm glad you found a group that you can fly with. It seems to be doing wonders for your confidence!here is some hat cam video of the Vista alternating between Jono and myself - see if you can spot the plane (it's a bit like where's Waldo)! Apart from the camera angle being too low, there must be a white balance issue!
for me, it is more about remembering the flights (given the sketchy video)!
