What Did You Fly Today

[Wildthing]

THE STUPID WIND WON'T STOP!!!!

Nope it won't , sometimes and I mean very seldom in the evening it starts to calm down slightly giving you hope tomorrow might be better. Now the temps are around -12 C at night.

I took a box of Willy Nillies to the field today - easiest time I've had carrying four planes ever!

Maiden on the GLH went very well! She's going to be a favorite flyer for sure. Video coming later tonight.

Or I could get up early before the wind picks up, but I doubt my flying buddies would wake up that early

After all the research I did behind this girl I didn’t keep the power on while landing 😂😂😂
there’s always next time 😜

was a dream to fly and a massive achievement for all the stories and info on this girl about being an unstable flyer

she was superb

Are you using a gyro or Flight controller to keep it stable?

Got a gyro hooked up to drag rudders for today’s test flight
the rest was my magic thumbs
next flight she’s switched off For yaw testing 😬

Trick question. Its 2 planes 🤣 i see what looks like a 172 or 182 tail and then idk about the rest

 

[speedbirdted]

Nope, it's one plane, though it had two engines, and one of them not doing its job was what caused it to look like it does now

Getting warmer!

 

[OliverW]

Nope...


Getting warmer!

All I can say is that it had Tower Hobbies engines haha

 

[Timmy]

Getting warmer!

And you say its a twin?

 

[speedbirdted]

And you say its a twin?

Yes and yes. Had two Tower Hobbies 75s. Could barely achieve a positive climb rate on both engines running balls to the wall so an engine out was certain death.

Sadly I forgot to take any but here's one from when we found the crash site. It pretty much picked the worst possible place to crash...

Flew my Boeing X32 today after reprogramming the Aura 5 and moving the rate settings to my TX. I also switched the motor to a FT C pack. Plenty of power and pulled way fewer amps than the previous motor. Despite the wind it flew great.
