What did you fly today?

[CaptAmerica]

Was also the test flight for the newly restored 51' M18 Mooney Mite.

Flew my E-flite Ascent at gorgeous Netarts Bay, OR over the weekend. Filmed using my RunCam 2. Perfect little model to soar over the beach.

I had to switch over to the big 4K HD TV to watch that one, Aros. That's too nice of scenery for the computer monitor.

Awesome! Now THAT'S how to watch it! Thanks!

Amazing with these little cameras as well, how nice the image remains even when viewed on a 50" screen.

I’m sure I spent at least one weekend out there, back around early 90’s - those RunCam 2’s are really excellent.
I think this is probably my favorite thread on here...

Rotten gusty crosswinds!!
Got a flight out of BBD and then called it quits.. Was going to take the Spitfire up as well but crosswind landings with narrow gear equals scraped up wingtips for me.
Oh Well!

A BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK

Started the day with four new airplanes to maiden, a Tower Corsair, Tower P-51 Red Racer, SkyAngel BAE Hawk, and Powerzone Concept 50 delta wing. Almost lost the Corsair, because it was EXTREMELY tail heavy with a 1800 3s pushed all the way forward. As soon as it got off the runway, it went vertical, and I couldn't get control, and it went into the trees, but was able to recover it. Had some minor problems with the Mustang, and some of it was pilot error from not having flown tail draggers in a while . The Hawk couldn't get off the ground. it was veering to the right and has no rudder or nose wheel control. Got the Concept up,
but it tip stalled into the deep brush off the drop off/cliff.

This can only happen once you should be glad your "lose every plane day" has gone and passed with minimal collateral damage. Mine happened about 5 years ago, 10 planes of 86 deployed all edf's 100% totaled within the first 3 hours of a certain weekend morning.

Got 16 flights in this morning, 4 each with the Corsair, 1700mm FMS P-51, my redesigned Stinger 90 and the F4 Phantom. I've been working hard on landing and taking off technique the last couple months (cause I finally realized after 6 years that those skills were sorely lacking) and was able to take-off and land each bird perfectly. Used to like flying, now all of a sudden I absolutely love it and a lot of the planes in my hanger that I didn't exactly enjoy flying (because of crappy landings) I now really enjoy flying them. I used to blame the plane, but realized it wasn't the plane, it was my poor skills. I got spoiled flying my Beast 60 and my 5 Extreme Flight 60" planes that pretty much land themselves, so my poor technique didn't cause any problem with those. The warbirds and jets really exposed my problems. I going to post in the Corsair thread the techniques I learned for landing and taking off on grass in case there is any of you out there like me.
