What Did You Fly Today

[mdcerdan]

Maiden my little Pawnee today. To my surprise it flew amazingly well on rudder/elevator/throttle. Downthrust was spot on, no need to adjustment. Flew a few times and I only reduced the wing incidence a bit with a shim between the wing and fuselage.
A little windy and a lot of thermals, as expected for a 35°C (95°F) afternoon.

ok this turned out to be a BLAST.

Very smooth landing!

Yes, a lot of fun and I flew about 15 minutes on one 1000mAh.

If yu don't mind the wall hook hangar damage

Fretform corrosion is where something starts moving and that movement starts an intraganular attack on the metal. NASA discovered it I think on the hawiian airlines 737 skin peelback back in the early '80s

Wind speeds dropped today, so on lunch I took the Su-35 V5 out for flight. On 3S, its draggy airframe tends to drink the 2200 battery up in 5 minutes and doesn't have a lot of aerobatics to show for it. So, I wondered if the 2200 4S battery I got for the Hurricane would fit onboard. It does and wow is this plane a lot more fun to fly on 4S!

Wow, I’m surprised a 1000mah lasted that long! What motor were you using?

Forgot to check this one out earlier, that flies really well! How have you done the control surfaces?

You've got me tempted to make a USS Discovery:

What about a Saber-class?

Looks pretty cool! But Discovery is the only Star Trek series I've really watched properly... Wait did that one appear in the Spock and Pike movie?

The Saber-class is from Deep Space Nine and First Contact. It's the Federation's answer to the Jem'Hadar attack ships. It's not one of the "hero ships" but it's probably the most aerodynamic of all the Starfleet designs.

If you do Discovery you should do the recent version...

Battery question, Im looking to buy a 4 cell. will a 4 cell 3300 Mah run longer than a 3300 3 cell ? i usually use 3300 3 cell in most my large planes so i guess what im asking is to fly the same amount of time as my 3 cell what size 4 cell should i buy ?

I put 4 packs though this guy yesterday. It’s a lot of fun and does low n slow 3D very well. I did some low rolling harriers and hovers with it which was a lot of fun.
