        Thanks! Starting to get her dialed in...I really lucked out with decent weather this past weekend. Doesn't come around often this time of year trust me. :Rainning:

          • The only thing different so far is I removed the on-board stock gyro and replaced it with the Cortex. Still dialing her in but so far I am very impressed with the Cortex.

              • Yeah you really don't need to. With where you fly (compared to my industrial area) I would be a lot more comfortable without a gyro...

                  So you're still running the same rates and expo you sent me before?

                  • If I sent you the rates and expo from my first one then I am definitely using different throws and rates. My expo is down to 15% instead of 40%. Too much slop and definitely contributed to my stress flying the first one. Do you fly Spektrum? If so I can send you my file...

                      • Had a good warbird outing today. Freewing Me-262, Durafly Bf-109E, Durafly Spitfire Vb, and EFlite Hurricane 25e, multiple flight each. 24 minutes long. Sorry. The description lists when the different planes fly.

                        • These guys have not talked for a while.... you better off giving him a call and go over the details of the airplane settings.

ID:	118831 Weathered in again this weekend. On a positive note, all my birds are getting their required maintenance done finally! Sadly, no flying.

                            • Second that, rain and more rain to the central states. Its not that cold anymore so was able to do some required maintenance and tuning, electric and glow, cycling the lipo batteries to their storage state.
                              Flew the Sbach w its new Leopard motor, but had some thrust issues, at least was able to land it safely.

                              • An unexpected cold but sunny Sunday meant I could get 3 flights on my A10, 3 on my wots wot biplane and discovered my new prop for the mustang was heavily out of balance...doh! Should have checked that before I left! Never mind.

                                • Day: 577 Gorgeous day, light wind and 70. I flew a Dynam PBY Catalina, an E-flite Corsair (The A-10 Annihilator) and my big L4 Carbon Z Cub.

                                      I wondered how long that would take you to notice...I crashed it yesterday...(broke prop) flying inverted under the wire and touching the tail on the runway...I touched it a little too much and caught the prop on the ground :Silly:

                                        • Day 578: Crazy beautiful day...73, sunny and wind coming straight down the runway.

                                          Got the Corsair back together and flew it, then I maidened my Durafly BF-109E. While it was so nice I decided to do some runway maintenance.
