What Did You Fly Today

[F106DeltaDart]

Got in some flying yesterday morning at our clubs annual July 4th Funfly and had a blast. Took up the Corsair, UH-1N, and Bell 47 for a few flights each. Calm winds but hot. It is soon going to be “Texas Building Season” as temps start to push over 100F.

Just got back from a few batteries on the Sport Cub S2 (still running at half SAFE mode) and was able to a few touch and goes on the base line of the ball field. Did go way high (for me) and turned off SAFE to do a few loops but chickened out below about 20ft altitude. Also ran a few batteries on the STEM pack aircraft (waiting for the S2's battery to recharge) but eventually the wind gusts were making it unfun as the temp raced to 90.

One flight each on all of these. A bad landing on the Mustang broke the landing gear mounts, so I need to repair her before she flies again. Otherwise, all other flights good. Air was pretty bumpy between an iffy breeze that couldn't decide which direction to come from, and loads of hot air rising in various spots.

did get some flying in, but the camera refused to record 1/2 of the flights? /www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTdUd7h64N8 , www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7EzKiicqO0 , www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OcEE4v3N40

Flew the $1 wing and tested out a new prop 6" from Gemfan... holy cow it hauls! It is also much quieter and gives me longer flights

I just got off the flight sim. HAD to put some stick time in some where. Its been way to hot to be rippin quads around these last few days.

Watched a few Michael Wargo vids earlier and started putting his teaching into practice. Got a good start on harriers and rolling harriers. Rolling Harriers are far easier in the sim then just straight harriers as I seem to tip stall a lot and then over correct. Also seem to fight the advice to recover with rudder instead of ailerons. Been doing straight line knife edges for a while so I started trying to do figure 8s left to right in front as well as near to far straight away from me.

Nice to hear that they rip! I was planning to put those on my future FT270 build!

I flew the valiant in 30 gusting to 40mph winds! At full throttle the plane was stationary

Haha, insane! (The way I like it😁)

I said Kph. Metric!
Also I hate maidening anything in wind no matter how unwindy especially something big like the guinea.

True...

Finally fixed the turbo timber by cleaning the board and adjusting the antenna. Somehow it now works.

Got my turbo timber in the mail today,well yesterday, flies like a dream. Wired up my FPV and will be christening that later. Quite a step up from my sport cub s 2

I wasn't able to fly and film my sportser yesterday, too windy...maybe today.

I had a quad vtx that wasn't working, so I put it in the oven! It worked afterwords lol.

 

[Quinnyperks]
