What did you fly today?

[boomer108]

My Flightline this morning. Was very happy that I managed to somehow cram everything into a Ford Taurus..

Nice hanger Delta, I'm not a helicopter guy but I love that Army Loach.

It's a 1500mm GeeBee. Runs on 6 cells.

Dan.....that link don't take you to the correct post unless the person happens to have the same amount of posts per page set up in their user settings as you do.
You have to right click on the post # located in the upper right corner of the post then click on copy shortcut and past it like I did below
Here's the correct link:

For me your post is located on page 15 and not page 8 as you linked it

That's so weird, both of them take me to the same page, go figure, anyway, thanks for the redirct CB, appreciate it.
Now get that Tigercat in the air !!

Hey Jack Flight School was great, Dave is a great guy and it's money definitely well spent. It's fly fly fly all day, he makes it look so easy, especially when the wind is blowing stronger than anything I'd dare fly in!
You always walk away with a wealth of information, then it takes a bit of time to settle in when you get home.

Thanks boomer, it's one of my favorites for sure! Just flew it twice more this evening and it was a blast!

Nice collection boys.

Think its the hk geebee mate. Edit never mind. Guess I should read the subsequent posts on the next page before I post lol.

That's awesome! My wife would look at me like I was from another galaxy if I tried to suggest learning to fly R/C models with me. I will point her to these posts and tell her she needs to step up her game. LOL

My wife and I are from different galaxies, perhaps different universes.

After weeks of cold and rain and strong winds, was relatively mild today. Went through nearly half gallon of glow fuel in my Somehtin" Extra and a couple of flights on my Twisted Hobbys Crack Yak 32 to boot. Woo-hoo!

[Grossman56]

Great to hear Jack, nothing like getting rid of the winter rust and back into the air!1

Nice one jack.


Well, here I am, quietly minding my own business having a bit of a 3D session and maiden of the new mustang, when one of my clubmates turn up with this MONSTER!!! Omg... :eyeswide


cost:$200,000 Aussie money. (Yep, you read that right - two...hundred...grand...).
Servos: $16,000 euros. (Whatever that works out to be).
Engine: some massive rotary thing that needs a huge radiator and a 3rd dude on a laptop to fly it.
Weight: depending on the load: up to 50-60kg.

these guys have a business doing aerial survey work, and this has been custom built for the big mining companies up in the remote northwest of oz. it's got a massive range, (20 litre fuel tank), 4K cameras and sensors all over it - and carries all this specialist mining survey equipment underneath, depending what they are looking for. (Hence the long legs). Completely blew my mind....

they were just doing some hover testing today, yes I got a little vid I'll post when I have time. Just amazing.... :saywha

Day 286: Maidened the Hawker Tempest, great flying plane and a lot of plane for the money.

[Shirty]

Beautiful. Who makes that one mate and what's the wingspan?

I first saw one of these out of Japan a few years ago. They were using it for commercial crop dusting. And yup, that price is about right. You have to be a very serious hobbyist to buy one of those.

I've always had my eye on that Tempest TI...Good to know you like it a lot.... Shirty...WOW!

I put in some working nav lights and raked the gear forward to prevent noseovers and she was good to go. I was very surprise how straight it tracks on takeoff, it's power is pretty scale and it handles great.

[Aros]

Good to know, thanks! I always liked the looks of the Tempest...

[dahawk]

Wow,

That mega heli is awesome. The radiator thing on the front almost looks like some kind of scoop collector and screen to sample aggregate. Like panning for gold with a drone. Even at that price tag, it's probably a lot less than using full scale helis. Must be a pretty good ROI.

Day 287:

Got out the FMS P-47 today since the wind was under 30 mph :Whew:
