Got some cold 'n (too) windy (for this newb) weather around these parts today. Did get some more stick time in the Trainer yesterday. Working on my approach and landing... with some cross winds. Did really good, feeling my confidence building day by day. Today is gonna be a shop day with the Corsair. Gonna swap out the landing gear. Also broke down and purchased the DX6 and an Admiral 6-channel DSMX compatible receiver. Those should be here by the end of the week though. Then I can bind it to the Trainer as well as the Corsair and get stick time with the sticks I plan to use for a while. :Cool:Dynam; E-Flite; Freewing

I'm now spending the higher expenses of heli's on "LARGE" scale warbirds. :Cool:( I blame that on TJ ;))Warbird Charlie

I had actually flown one of these last month, just not on floats, so I knew pretty much how it handled in the air. And I was surprised at how nimble it still was even with those big ol' floats on it.Pat

LOL Yeah Charlie, definitely nice to be in the southern states. I grew up in North Florida, did 6 years in the Air Force (San Antonio, Monterey CA, San Angelo TX, 3 years in Germany), then came back home to Florida after, and now in Phoenix. You can't pay me enough to live anywhere up north! :)Pat

Hey the sun is out in Wyoming!
Got four flights in before the 20 mph cross wind showed up. Had the Bearcat up and she pretty well hover landed in. Was actually fun as I have an excess of power with the 650kv so it was a matter of Manually turned her around and taxied off the runway, kept wanting to weather vain something badly, but it was a great learning experience. Let the Season begin !!

Maiden on my Lippisch, Crusader, and Mig 15. The Lippisch was great, the Mig took a dive immediately after launch and mushed the nose, and the Crusader faired much differently..without any notice it lost all it's impeller blades (a total mystery why) but landed on it's belly after a good toss and came out of it fine. My issue is with the MIG 15, however. Although all three planes have the same fan and power requirements, all three consume the same power from Admiral 1600 3S 30C batteries, the Mig appears to be severely under powered. Have I missed something? As far as the fan losing all it's blades, this is another woooeeeeeoooo mystery. FWIW the Diana is wonderful with more than enough power and speed. Takes forever to land due to it's extreme glide ratio and could probably use a rudder to perform a slipped/crabbed landing or some sort of spoilers. All in all everyone was impressed with it and I think a few more will be purchased soon from my flying buddies. :-D
