    Another flight with the Spark this morning, while the breeze was still gentle, to get some footage of the north face of the building. Took her up to about 300', and flew a slow 180 degree arc around the west side to the south, before bringing her back to land.

      Well I got some flights in with the tigercat p38 and tigercat, I got the A10 up for a lap on one motor after takeoff when the left esc went up in a cloud of magic smoke. However thankfully landed uneventfully. So tomorrow it will be call time to tower, or horizon. Who ever supports this of the two as I did order it through tower but the box came from horizon.:Silly:

        Glad you got it back down successfully! Hopefully the warranty process is fairly painless. If they drag it out, let me know. I have a spare FMS 70A ESC from my 1500mm P-47, and I believe it’s the same as the ones in the A-10. Just say the word and it’s yours.

        I was was was out of town this weekend, visiting my brother in Huntsville, AL and brought my Hobbyking Cub along for some fun. It’s set up with the Connex Prosight HD FPV camera and headtracking, and this weekend was my first real chance to try out a full flight with it. Got it 6 flights over the weekend, switching between my brother and I. He doesn’t fly RC, but he picked up quickly, especially in FPV. He is both a full scale pilot and avid gamer, and was flying excellent by the end of the weekend.

          Well, the A-10 was designed to suffer a lot of damage and still be flyable... :D

          All kidding aside, glad you got it down safely.

                              Bluesdragon, no offense intended, I know I've done something worse a 1000 times before and frankly, that's why it is hysterical. Best always my friend, LB

                                          I just got done converting one of those to catapult launch with some slight modifications. Flies really well.
