Finally had some good flying weather this weekend except for the mosquitoes. We are trying to figure out a way to mount a receiver on one of them to see how well they fly. We will need 6 channels receiver to have functioning blood sucker and retractable landing gear.
Everyone was flying Sunday night. Jonnie launched his new improved SR-71. This monster is approximately 60" in length with a 38" wingspan. He completed several successful flights with no problems other than a puffed 4S nano-tech lipo battery. It needs a higher capacity battery to handle extended high speed runs. Should have video soon.
I crumpled a couple of older foamies this week using the cheap radio that came with an EDF jet. Can't wait for my DX6I to arrive back this week from the repair shop. You can fly with those cheap radios but you can't get too attached to the planes your flying on them. The receivers seem to have a problem with emf off the motors. Had to be careful when coming off throttle because elevons would jump then reset. Not a problem when at 50 feet but deadly
