What did you fly today?

[Wild Man]

Had a great time today. Here are a few of the planes I flew this afternoon right up to and just after sunset. I got in four more flights on the T-33 and I test flew the E-Flite 70 mm F-16 for a student of mine and got three more flights with him on the Wireless trainer set up. Then We Flew a Few Choppers and a few other planes. Also while I took a break from flying I got this short video of my flying buddy Don, flying his Blade 160 S https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Trs2Ph4x1Gk

Here's a compilation video of what I flew yesterday. Mostly, it's just take offs and landings, with a flightline pass or two.
FMS 1.6m P-51D
Hobby King 1.8m B-17
Flightline Spit IX
Freewing T-33
EFlite 1.2m F4U
Seagull 63" Junkers CL-1G Tin Donkey monowing

Had a fun flying day, with no garbage bag recoveries. LOL

Dang wind has been blowing steady for a couple of weeks now!!!
I've never seen it like this, batteries charged and raring to go. I keep waiting to fly the Hardway P-40B but the conditions haven't been what I want for a maiden yet. Patience I guess

Got some play time with the 30% Black Horse Gilmore Red Lion. Now that the CG is dialed in, it's a lot of fun to fly. Nothing like a little Golden Age air racer action to get the juices flowing.

Tony, nice! The Gilmore Red Lion looks great!

Very nice collection and nice flying Chuck, great way to give tribute and spend the 4th!!!! Love your B-17, isn't it about time FL comes out with a 2000mm (or larger) iconic B-17? I think the modifying crowd here would have a field day, not to mention keeping Callie busier than a one arm paper hanger!

Not from today, but yesterday in the evening. I’ve been flying this beat up 1/4 scale Cub that my father built circa 1991. Just converted it from .90 four stroke power to electric. Running a Castle 120 amp ESC, unidentifiable outrunner motor, and using a 6S 5000. Fun to fly!

Agreed, Hugh!
No matter what planes I bring to fly and no matter that the B-17 doesn’t do much more than circuits and figure eights (if will do a loop and a roll, if I have tons of altitude to trade), I always have more telling me how much they enjoy watching the B-17 fly, compared to the others. I have differential thrust on my B-17, and that makes flying and ground handling a lot more fun.

Got one flight in early this morning on the Magnum PI, I sold the black AH-6 to get the white AH-6 Navy Cayouse version.

[Wild Man]

I got in a lot of flying today this morning I took out my My E-flite Spit-fire, AT-Texan, PT-17 and the Air Tractor. In a hurry and forgot my phone and GO-PRO. Went back out just after 6:00 pm This time I took my E-Fite F-4 Phantom, Flight Line B-24, and my Blade 250. I did get a nice Hat cam Video with my GO-PRO of the second Flight I have made with my B-24 Liberator https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNqANnXgRDM&t=10s

Hey G-man I hear what your saying about the wind. Same thing down here in Cheyenne. Wind in Wyoming is nothing new but haven't seen it this bad in a while. Wind is usually out of the west or north but most of the time it has been the opposite. Out of the east and south. So far not a good year for flying let alone the virus.

[Wild Man]

My Brother and I were out again this morning early Put another 1/2 hour on my Blade 250, and two flights on my F-4 Phantom, going out again tonight with a few planes jets and Choppers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azmEPvmIH5E

Great save Prowler!

Took the Extreme Flight Legacy Aviation Muscle Coupe out for the Golden Hour this evening.

Just finished an absolutely gorgeous sunset flight with my FMS Cessna. And three earlier flights with the UMX Timber.

Got 20 flights in today on 4 planes, it was an absolutely beautiful 95 degree summer day with winds of only 8-10 mph. I brought out sort of an odd collection because our lawn mowing equipment broke down and we haven't been able to cut the grass for a week, which is never a good thing during the summer in Florida. I was hoping to take out mostly jets, especially my F-16 and SU-30 to try out my new Hobbystar 8000 mah batteries, but since the grass was longer than normal, I wasn't sure if either one would get off the deck with that extra weight so they stayed in the Hangar for now. I'll have to wait until at least next week to try those batteries out if we can get the machines fixed. I did some bench testing on that battery and it was actually pretty good, an actual C just barely below the Roaring Top 5500 70 C and the HRB 6000 50C (both of those tested out at virtually the same C on the IR meter). We'll see if the $179 per battery is worth it, but in simulated flights on the bench, it gives both of those jets an extra 1 and 1/2 minutes or more (which for me is a life time on EDF's) and the Amp and Watts drawn on the GT power meter are almost equal to those other batteries I've been using!

[Wild Man]

I went out early this morning 5:am to fly a few of my Jets and a couple Choppers. I made the first 4 flights on the SU-30 WOW what a Pig compared to all the other;s I have, The SU-30 should have Twin 80 mm fans in it. Other than that the SU-30 is fun to fly made 3 flights each on the others and 5 flights on both my Choppers Blade 250 and my Blade 550. I must admit Choppers are another learning curve LOL!!!!

Just a quick video of the Black Horse 2350mm Gilmore Red Lion doing what air racers do. Thanks to clubmate Josh for shooting the footage. The landing was too hot, but the bird took it in stride. Subsequent landings were better.

The Gilmore is electric powered with a DualSky G6000.9 160kv motor on 12S, turning a 26x10 prop. It's not lacking for power at all. The two 6S 8000mah lipos were at 3.93v per cell and cool after the flight.

[Wild Man]

I went out early, right before sunup 5:30 and flew many flights with Four of my EDF's and Chopper I did get a few video's here is one of my E-Flite Twin 64 mm A-10 Hog https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1A7mPQIH1Y

Flightline Corsair, Eflite Mystique RES, Flightline OV-10, SebArt Mig 29. Another beautiful morning. All flew great. Everything came back in one piece.
