What Did You Fly Today

[bisco]

thanks!
i like takeoffs and landings, and i need the practice. at some point, i will remove them, maybe that's all i need for more power.

Nice flights!! What camera are you using for your flight videos?

thanks! it's just my iphone dorkcam. something like this:

it takes some practice to get it in the right spot repeatedly, it's either too high or too low, or i touch the screen after starting the video and putting it on.
i have it down pretty well most of the time now, and it's easy to bluetooth it to the computer, edit and youtube.

Was that the 3d printed Eagle?

yeah it was gorgeous until battery connection gave up 😂🤣🥲

I have strongly considered getting that model. Did you print it in LW-PLA and PLA? Was it worth the print? The look is great... wouldn't it be cool to manage that in DTFB (looking as good)

Yes did the recommended print with both, took about 1 week to print everything, set it up on 1200kv with 8x6 and looked awesome for the first 15 seconds till the battery disconnected 😂😂
fellow pilot at the field did mention it would be crazy awesome in foam

maiden flight yesterday, nice little plane.

landing gear collapsed, not sure why, i have to take a look at it

nice flights with the cub !! with ailerons ??

 

[Matthewdupreez]

Just a question for y'all..
Does the ft cub fly better than the ft scout??

 

[FoamyDM]

I found the scout to fly better. Mostly because the cub is a cub, and mine needed a little coordinated. I enjoyed both while they flew.

Im gonna try and do a build video for it soon

beautiful model, but way beyond my flying ability, i can't even fly my duster without gyro, and i don't have a runway either.
i can't wait to see yours though, good luck!

Hmmm it should fly really easily... In theory...
And you can hand launch it too...
I still need to build one...

 

[bisco]

i can't imagine a low wing plane flying easily, they are usually for experts. have you flown one?

Flew the Macchi M.5 for the first time yesterday. Some stability problems, gotta work of control throws and CG, but looks good in the air (when it wasn't in a spinning dive). Survived some pretty good falls due to tall grass and light weight. Plus newby pilot, who wants to run before I can walk.
