Wen't out scouting for a place to fly yesterday. To be honest sometimes I wish I lived in Arizona. Found a little mad money I lost today. Gonna pull the trigger on that Brewster Buffalo. LOL

Hope ya found some good acreage to buzz around, but there’s plenty of room for ya at AMPS Field here in Phoenix. Might want to hurry before the heaters come on...but even then sunrise flying is pretty nice because it is truly DEAD calm every morning.

So now that the dings are nearly fixed, the details are underway in preparation for her debut at One Eighth Air Force Spring Scale Fly In. It is my first time entering any scale event and I gotta admit the competition is stiff, but I’m not going to to win - just to build a nice looking scale model that flies well.
If you are in the area, you’ll want to stop by. I posted it in the event section.
Glad I did all that fiberglass work on the plastic - really improves the overall strength of the material. Made repairs easier too.:Whew:

the 14 x 6 did ok and pulled nice. Since then I checked a few numbers to see what is going to be ideal. The scale size would be around 16in and I suppose I could go that high, but after the 3 minute flight I had 70% battery remaining. It did not seem to be underpropped or overreving. I used a 6s 4000 mAh battery (Admiral):Cool:to Motion RC.
I would like to get 6 minutes - so I think I am there. That said I broke my only 14 x 6 and I would like to try a bit more bite of air and see how the 14 x 8 handles the load. I’ll put the watt meter on her and try if first.
