Yikes! That's about how long it takes for most of mine between 2-3hours. But for only 7% that's something with either your connection or isp. But that's really strangeComment

Had a great afternoon flying yesterday. 2 flights on the Little Bird, Apache, Cub, and P-47. It was also the test day for the FPV system in the Cub, which has a Connex HD with headtracking. One of our older club members who is in his 90s was out at the field, but feeling too under the weather to fly. So, I gave him the headset and took him flying in the Cub, and he loved it!
I also had a close call with the Apache on the second flight. It lost tail rotor authority during slow forward flight, and did 2 complete rotations before I could get it back under control. I did the same procedure we do in the full scale for loss of tail rotor control. Dropped collective, and got some forward airspeed and managed to keep it under control to execute a running landing. No damage, but I’ll be taking it apart to inspect it. I suspect some kind of issue with the tail rotor drive system.1 PhotoComment

Still cold and crappy here in Michigan. Had an unseasonably warm day yesterday so a few of us got out for the first time in a couple months. First flights for 2018 were 3 good ones with the Avistar Elite. Looking forward to a great season this year!Comment

Nice pics of the fleet Mike. Glad you were able to take advantage of the awesome weather yesterday.Had a great afternoon flying yesterday. 2 flights on the Little Bird, Apache, Cub, and P-47.

I took my Mosquito, Bearcat and my BUSA Bristol out today but it was cold and gusty winds but I had fun getting to punch a few holes in the sky and the planes seemed to handle the winds well, on the way home it started snowing!Comment

The weather cleared out a few days ago, flew the Tundra, its first maiden flight after the crash. Got silly a few weeks ago trying to fly it mega slow and it dropped a wing at maybe 30 feet, had no chance a d straight to the corn field it went. I have not been able to find the two plastic tabs that holds the landing gear into the fuselage. It holds in place like it is as long as it lands smoothly.
I was amazed, it flew as if nothing happened. I had the field all to myself, nice sunny clear skies...Comment

Finally mainden HK Bixler 2 v.2
Swapped to a 30A ESC, left the stock motor.
Very minor trim and ready for the skies on calm and then all of a sudden later in the day at 12/14mph.
Very different dynamic, not only that its much easier to fly, but to be able to fly w the wind. Shut the motor and let it cruise.2 PhotosComment

Congrats on the maiden Crank! :Cool: I hear good things about those Bixlers.
I flew a Hobbyzone Super Cub that I got for free on the give-away table near our mailboxes. First time flying it for me. It's got a lot of tape on the cowl. So, I don't know what the previous owner did to the poor thing. But, she flies really great.Comment

The Bixler and similar designs seem to always fly so well. Congrats, Crankestein! Crusing in one of those is so relaxing sometimes. Same thing can be said for the Radian.
Today I flew... oh wait. Sorry. Can't say.
