Cold clear morning here in Wy, as I try to type with cold fingers!
Beautiful day a bit breezy, so headed to the field with my old time fav' the one that first got me drooling over this hobby, Big Beautiful Doll. Man she's been a faithful old gal too.
We were cross winding today and the air was pretty blustery over the field, nevertheless, she handled it great with a bit of assistance from the A3L, although I have it rolled way down. One of the few planes that has an 8 channel receiver so I can roll in how much gain the A3L has with the knob on the radio.
I wanted to burn through 4 or 5 batteries just practicing t/o's and landings, but my hands were just about frozen!
Going to see what the afternoon brings and maybe head back there.
I've noticed that, even though I'm correcting for prop torque, I still end up leaving the ground heading towards the left of center of the runway with a dip of the left wing sometimes, so I want to clean up my control inputs to solve this.
See what happens, hopefully it will improve over the course of the day
