What did you fly today?

[Twowingtj]

I enjoyed the Spitties much more than the Mustangs. The 'Stangs are great flyers, but the Spitties are faster.

No German birds, so they weren't properly motivated.LOL

LOL The Schwalbe is down with a bent strut. Shudda brought my staffel of FW-190A's to motivate the Mustangs to fly a bit better.

Based on some unofficial and totally unscientific flying yesterday... I think that the P-40 stock is about neck and neck with the spitty. And, believe it or not, I had no trouble staying with the spitty while flying the P-51 on the 580kv motor.
hmmmm....

But the spitty has a LOT of power. I saw him get out of a few bad spots with just shear thrust. Awesome plane.

Day 544: Got the Bushmule out in the snow.

[Dewey H Lee]

How was it there today. If it would have been NC you would have needed deicers and wipersLOLLike the Mule.

[RCjetdude]

We had 4" that never went away. Stayed below freezing all day.

Oh it was really nice 27 and light wind...at least nice compared to what it has been :)

[Hardway]

UMX TIMBER..squirrely little thing....it keeps my skills sharp for my big planes. Does anybody else disagree that the smaller planes are harder to fly...Post replies I would like to hear from you

[fhhuber]

bigger plane => more mass (and usually higher wing loading) so better resistance to minor wind gusts.

PZ Vapor can be owned by your house's AC vent. Hang a 2 lb plane from the ceiling about 2 ft from the vent and it might wiggle when the AC/heat comes on.

Finally got to fly, so flew this one

Hey Rifleman, what OSD/flight controller are you using there?

Yes, they can hone your flying skills for wind.

Hey Rifleman, what OSD/flight controller are you using there?

It's just a simple Cyclops breeze osd system. No flight controller, however it does have the frsky S8R receiver installed that has flight stabilization I think works really well, and a plus to it is it's programmable though the horus x10. So far I've been super happy with the radio and receivers. My ultamate plan is for a vector in this bird, but that's still a few months away as I'm still in recovery mode from the truck engine blowing up.

[Prowler901]

Thanks for the info. I'm looking for an OSD that provides speed, altitude, and horizon. But I don't want to break the bank. This one seems pretty reasonable. :)

[rifleman_btx]

If you want a full system that has everything (including airspeed) for not much coin I might suggest the Cyclops tornado. Here's a video with that unit I got it from foxtech

[Mad Baron]

I flew my Pandora on Friday and got some great flight video just have to figure out how to load it on to YouTube.
