I flew My 2.1 m Cessna 150 at a construction site that My partner and I have the Seeding and erosion control portion of the contract for. The Main contracter's project manager and Son both got a turn flying the big Cessna 150 We all had a great time and I may have two new RC Pilots LOL!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmK9zFEwSQA&t=16s I also grabbed a few photo's from the video

Finally got a chance to maiden the A-10 Arctic Thunder yesterday, what a sweet flying bird. Got in 5 flights with her, and another 5 flights each on one of my Extreme Flight planes, the Avanti and the SU-30.
Did a couple short videos, one on the EF Edge Demonstrator and the other on the A-10 maiden.

Nice A-10 and video Hugh. Awesome video. Hugh I like the A-10 so mush I have three of them The E-flite Twin 64 mm, the FMS Twin 70 mm and the Free Wing Twin 80 mm. My Free Wing is in the paint shop getting the Artic Camo done on it but I am using Different colors on it. and I just received the Artic decals from Callie the other day I flew the FMS A-10 Thunderbolt today for the 2nd and 3rd flights, Wind 10 to 15 N head wind. With all the armament Installed. 2nd flight was with an Admiral 6c 5000 50c and the 3rd flight was with an RT 6c 4400 70c same time in the air 3.30 minutes after the two flights I checked to see what I had left in each battery the 5000 checked out at 38%, and 3.86 per cell left, and the RT 4400 checked out at 24% and 3.77 per cell. As far as how they performed in flight I did not notice much difference between the two. This video is with the RT 4400 70c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfkyI0yF5V4

Hugh the Parking lot we use for a runway is 800ft in length with trees on both ends and west side and only 25ft wide with our vehicles parked side ways. To say the least it is a little intimidating, and with a cross wind it is even worse, but it is what it is. The closest paved RC field is 150 miles from Rapid City SD in Gillette Wyo. another place I love to fly my EDF's is 70 miles away in Newcastle Wyo where we can use the Municipal Airport with nothing in the way and 4000ft of runway I love flying there. Your grass runway would be to die for around here. Again great flying and video's Hugh. My Free Wing Twin 80 mm is getting a paint job two shades of Blue, One shade of White and Black. Also need to finish up my AL-37, but working part time, flight Instruction with 5 students, and for them and myself Doesn't leave much time to do so.

Here is an Aerial video I did late this afternoon 6:00 pm with my 2.1 Cessna with one of my go pro's facing down mounted on the right side of the fuselage. Had a great time doing this one I had the zoom at full. With telemetry altitude right at 300ft AGL. At one point in the video you can see a kite some kids were flying from the Fair grounds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6VioPZegbU

Ahh... Cobra Jet, under powered by today’s EDF standards, still provides an enjoyable ride. Forces good energy management techniques to carry momentum through vertical maneuvers. Good for windy day flying.
Enjoy the weekend folks!Fly aerobatics from realistic cockpit of a RC EDF jet using high definition DJI Digital FPV with head tracker. Best viewed on large screen. 0:00 Intro 0:34 T...YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/motionsic

I never go out on Saturday, too many pilots usually, but the weather was outstanding and I'm so hyped up to put flights on with the A-10, that I decided, what the heck. We must have had about 20 pilots out, but most messed around all day with their monster turbines and I was able to get 5 flights in on the A-10, my Avanti and one of my 60" Extreme Flight birds. We also cooked up a load of kielbasa for lunch, so all around a great day. I have to say, this A-10 is one of the best flying EDF's I have, getting 5:30 of robust flying and still coming in with almost 40% battery on the RT 6250. Dare I push it to 6 or 6 1/2? Maybe I'm crazy, but the A-10, IMO, flies just as easily as the Avanti, vertical maneuvers are a breeze and knife edge is almost too easy. The book high rates for me, with 30-35% expo, are right in my sweet spot. But what really impresses me is the slow flight and the rock solid easy landings, certainly the smoothest landing EDF I have. Moved the CG back to around 91-92mm and she lands so well it almost looks like I know what I'm doing (which is never the case). Unfortunately the rest of the weeks weather looks horrible, so for now I'll have to be content with today.

Originally posted by xviper View Post40% is a lot left. I typically end up with 20% or less and the batteries appear to still be happy. They charge up fine the next time with very low IR. I know a guy who runs his batteries down till the LVC hits (soft cut off), then lands. That's too extremely but he seems to get away with it on his prop jobs.Hugh "Wildman" Wiedman
