What Did You Fly Today

I get it... I get enough data at work though ๐Ÿ˜‚

I suppose if I had all of my stuff set up properly I'd care more, but I'm so ADHD I'm like "well my lease is up 7 months might as well not unpack this one crate because I'll probably move" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Oohhhhh๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜† (Just kidding! I wouldn't do that๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘) I wonder what it would be like with something like a .300 win mag on it..Might have to program a custom thing into the drone, so that would pitch forward HARD to counter act the recoil!๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ For those who don't know, a 300win mag produces about 30-35ft lbs of recoil...Doesn't sound like a lot but I can tell that that much can throw you around!๐Ÿ˜‚
That little? I thought it was above 40? I haven't looked at a chart in years. ๐Ÿ˜

Consider this... a 30-30, mounted atop an airplane by the lever. Need a twin and a short nose, probably use a "Mares leg" 30-30 like that old Western, don't recall the name.

Fire a shot, then do a trick roll to "spin load" the gun. ๐Ÿคฃ

(Don't get yer panties in a wad NSA, FBI, ATF, TSA, KGB, ICE,CBP, etc... We would never do such a thing. )

I flew my Flex RV8 60 yesterday for the first time in months. Pretty sure it's my favorite plane that I currently own... fast, slow, 3D, it'll do it all.

My Arrows twin 64mm MiG-29 sounds like it has asthma and sucks power like no other plane I've had ๐Ÿ˜‚ it flies okay for the 30 seconds you get...

Buddy called me up this morning a said grab your Sea Duck, we're gonna battle till one or both no longer fly. We got tangled up in the air like two eagles in spinning combat (the times you wish you had filmed it). Crazy enough 6 batteries each along with some hot glue, packing tape, and a couple popsicle sticks later. They both still fly. I really love this plane.

Nano Goblin #2 and both of my working Owl 3" quads. All LOS

Aura 5 on the nano goblin did not seem to want to trim out correctly. +-25% did not do much of anything, even in manual mode... Hmmm. Needed elevator down trim to account for elevon warpage. Aileron was dead on. Flew good other than having to keep down elevator pressure on the stick with throttle applied.

Will have to review the setup with the configurator. Maybe I still have someone else's config loaded up.
