What did you fly today?

[F22trainer]

Posted the link for the maiden flight in the ‘Free to Good Home’ thread.
Had the RunCam ready and mounted up for the second flight - might want to turn down the sound. I need a course on editing and adding sound...

What program are you using for video editing? I've been using Cyberlink Powerdirector 15 for a while now, and love it. It's an easy one-click setting to mute the ambient sound in the video, and another easy function to add a music track.

No flying today, but I did put together a shelf system for my truck camper shell, so I can carry more planes to the flying field. Provided I drag my carcass out of bed early enough in the morning, the shelf will get its "maiden." This should allow me to carry at least three more planes in the back of my truck.

Tried using iMovie, but nothing else really.

Sleep........... or fly?

Well, that's why I didn't make it there today. I've never been a morning person, though my job has been trying to force me to become one for many years.

Powerdirector isn't cheap, but as many videos as I do now, between the planes, scuba diving, and the drone, I decided it was worth the cost. One thing I learned many years ago, when our budget was tight so I had to often repair the old cars we could afford, was that cheap tools cost more in the long run than good tools, particularly when the frustration factor is considered. I kept getting so frustrated with the limitations and poor performance of the free video editing application that came with my computer, that I started looking for one that had good reviews while still being reasonably affordable. I'm still learning some of the features of Powerdirector, but even with what I do know already, I like the results, and I like the ease of the interface.

One flight each with Fawkes (wearing her new plumage, courtesy of my terrific better-half), the Stinger, and Air Hooterville's first flight in almost a year. I was going to fly the Simple Scout and the Calypso, but the winds were picking up and shifting direction quite a bit.

Battling the wind out here in Windy Wyoming!! Got some early flights in before it got too bad. A couple with the Spitfire and one with My Little Gal II. Some taxing issues kept me on the ground with the P-51. Finally got her up but the wind at fifty feet seemed to get a whole lot worse!! This is the only P-51 that is running a 4250 kv580 and she needed full throttle to push forward into the wind. She few well but she really needs a 650kv. On the shopping list....

Took my V2 70mm F-16 out for a spin. I call her the Sky Slayer, LOL! What a blast this bird is. Wish the 90mm version was the same weight/wing load.

I got to fly 4 of my planes today although it was pretty hot and humid but I had a good time except for my C-188 "Dusty" tried to take a dirt nap now got some repairing to do. Flew my B-26, CZ Cessna, & the Tigercat all of them flew well except for Dusty.

What took you so long? I must have still been snoring at that time. BTW, nice looking squadron, what did you do the rest of the day, another 70 flights?

3D printed A330???? Do you have a build log or photos in Squawk?

The video description has links to the STL files and the primary RCGroups thread. I did create one on hobbysquawk, but the RCG one had more participation and discussion

The club hosted it's annual warbirds event yesterday. A really nice turnout for a full day of flying. My B-24 took People's Choice honors, and then I won the pilots raffle with my one free ticket... Brought four aircraft, flew them all, came home with 5 aircraft and a Dremel tool. What a freakin' awesome day!

Thank you, I'm an early riser, usually by 4am I am ready to go, have to wait on the sun to come up though, sometimes just as the sun is coming up I like to get a flight in so I can enjoy the flashing lights and see the landing lights come on, my runway is right across the street from my house, so it's charge and fly, to hot this time of year, but when it gets cooler I fly all day long.

Any idea why that Mustang just rolled off to the side on final?

That was a classic tip stall - too slow, left wing stalled first. You can see ailerons try to fix it but not enough airflow.
