How the heck do you do that? Every time I want to fly, I've got repairs to be done, sometimes whole rebuilds. I'm swapping motors and esc's and changing transmitter settings, and moving receivers, and deciding what prop to try next and remaking power pods and it doesn't end.I got one flight each on all four of these before the wind started kicking up this morning. About 80 degrees with just a little breeze when I got to the field just after 8, and surprisingly, despite nice conditions, I was the only one there. By 9:30, the wind was building in strength, so even though I had three more batteries charged, I decided four good flights would do it. I even managed to land the Stinger EDF without bouncing it today.
Earlier this week, I disconnected the WISE stabilization system in Fawkes, which I suspected was causing some of my stability issues. The new foamboard wing's ailerons are reversed from the original wing, and even with the stabilization set to the advanced mode, the WISE system would try to keep the plane level with no stick input. The problem was, if it started banking a bit to one side, it would end up throwing aileron in to make it bank more to that side. It was much more stable without the WISE system today.

Not quite. It's more like a maniacal road race to get everything ready so I can fly some planes. There's no "faffing around." I've got other planes that I'm building and I have to put them aside, so I can bum-rush repairs and modifications and rebuilds, usually in just a few hours of actual, usable time, and then I get to to take them out and crash them again. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.@buzzbomb - you summed it up well - I have the same issue faffing around when the opportunity presents itself, then with all the scrambling to go, something gets missed - I dream of a whole day where I can go slow and enjoy the ride!![]()
There used to be some nice little GPS data-logging modules you could pick up, that would record such things as max altitude, max speed, average speed, distance traveled, etc., but the last time I looked for one, they'd all been discontinued in favor of the telemetry modules that work back through the Rx to the Tx. Those are great if you have the radio system to support them, but not exactly useful to those of us that don't.

Hmmm possinbly the ultimate use for an iphone. Should be a gps automotive app that records data. In Android I can use TORQUE to record data like acceleration.
