Maidened mine today. Very pleasant and easy to fly.

I heavily weathered mine and used Callie graphics to represent Big Hairy Bird.

Has anyone flown theirs in any kind of wind? Tony flew Brent's yesterday in about a 6 to 7 knot cross breeze and it kind of didn't like it. I will definitely be putting a gyro in mine.

[xplaneguy]

Agree! A gyro would be a good idea in windy conditions. Otherwise, a nice flying plane which really looks cool in the air.

Brent - Thanks for the opportunity!

Best,
Tony

That's why I put my old one in, my gains are next to 0

Any time, commander. And thank you for the tweeking. Your attention to everything is greatly appreciated. Now I feel confident in flying her. Jim Christofferson, Joe and I flying at Apollo tomorrow. Jim will have the option of flying any bird I have. He can't be that rusty!

My pleasure, Brent! Have fun tomorrow.

I hope to put mine in the air this coming Sunday even without the decals. I plan to order some decals from Callie graphics this week,

FML... My B26 got off the ground and rolled to the right and crashed even with full left roll input never changed my controls so I don't know what happened. I guess I'll test the motors when I get home cause it was almost as if one motor either slowed or stopped in mid rollout

[terrygrau]

Didn,t you just install a gyro prior to this crash???

[Hardway]

Not good news....... :( Give us a report when you can please.........

[rifleman_btx]

Yes I did, but it was turned off for take off so it had no factor in this crash

[Hardway]

How many beers before you left the runway???? :Drinks: Sometimes you have to laugh or you will cry.... I am really sorry that it rolled in. How bad is the damage??? How is your AO now after the flooding?

[rifleman_btx]

All other planes flew without issue today, including my hand carved P39. Just the 26 went crappy on me

[rifleman_btx]

So far, motors are fine they ran smooth and even for over a minute.

[rifleman_btx]

Looks like like what happened was the panel that holds the spar in broke loose on the outer left wing, lifting that wing up and out of shape pushing the plane over itself. So no matter how much aileron input I gave the actual aileron acted like a booster and the wing tip the aileron. So no amount of input would overcome the wing tip

[Mad Baron]

Well I couldn't fly my B-26 today the reason being that the retracts would not operate correctly they would retract completely but they wouldn't extend all at once or I would only get one or two wheels to extend at a time. I emailed MRC and they had me test the gear separately straight from the receiver and had found out the 3 way splitter for the retracts was bad. I am really beginning to wonder when this plane will ever see the flying field:Angry:

Today was the day for my B-26 maiden. Karltrek did the honors today and did a great job. He also re-maidened his B-26 after adding the ~3mm shim under the horizontal stabilizer. The 3mm shim makes all the difference!

Heck yeah! Looks great Bob! Look like a great day flying!
