What Did You Fly Today

[JennyC6]

I miss flying with nitro, except when I cant tune it right or it don't start and when its time to clean them to go home, but I do miss the sound and smell : )

I love the engines on their own so I'll always fly wet fuel. This is about as big as I dare go before switching from methanol to gasoline fuel. 60 for 2c, 90 for 4c, and this is a 90. Gonna prop it with a 14-6 and mount it to a SIG 4*64. Should haul the mail with an amazing exhaust note and minimal vibration.

Expecting it to be a good FPV ship too, since the engine's got real good natural balance being an even-fire boxer. Minimal jello.

Get some brass tubes and basically just make the same thing out of them instead. Or make some short headers that basically just direct the exhaust underneath the cylinders. That's how I've always seen it done.

Yeah that was my plan. Just need to figure out the threadform and the flare specs for the exhaust port. Be best to do once it's mounted on the plane so I can decide on the routing.

What I typically do, is edit the video (not necessary to upload it, but I enjoy the process), then upload it to my YouTube page. From there, I can share it on social media, or add the link to a forum such as this. The three dots in the toolbar above the response window, does a pulldown for "Insert," and one option is "Media." The URL for the YouTube video can be added with that function.

I'll have one on here in a few minutes, once it's uploaded to YouTube.

Today's flight of the Bushwacker. This week, I made sure the camera memory card was empty, so that the entire flight would be recorded, including the landing. The soundtrack this week is liable to be an age test for some of us.

Had a motor pinion break on me today. Not cool, I wasn't prepared to auto and I have barely practiced them anyway. Here's the video.

Neighbors house burnt down in winter, space heater. Try not to use them people.

You have to upload it to google drive, Vimeo, or YouTube. I personally prefer YouTube.

That thing cruises around nicely! Too bad about the pinion breaking though.

It's super fun to fly, but gosh I'm getting tired of repairs! Part of the hobby tho...

Got that shirt or hat from the AMA yet that says, "The Fly Cycle: Build, Fly, Crash, Repeat"?

Oh that music... It was great!

It's from a 1965 movie that's pretty much vanished into obscurity.

Hardly vanished into obscurity! It's well-known here in the UK. Some of the planes that the made for it still fly!

Last night, I flew this little dude as the sun was going down. I love this thing...!

Probably didn't get as good a reception over here, because the U.S.A. wasn't the main focus. Seems, especially back then, if a story wasn't America-centric, too many people in the American audience didn't think it was worth watching, as though only America and Americans could have great stories.

Hollywood still has a bad habit of "Americanizing" stories (even TRUE stories), because they think having an American as the main character, or an American setting, will make it more appealing to the audience.
