Weather has not been good for flying the last couple of weeks. Wind and rain has limited my flying time. Then I went and dropped my DX6I radio this week and put it out of commission.
Still doing a limited amount of flying using a 2.4 GHz radio that came with a EDF jet purchased recently. Limited in the fact that this radio seems to have a mind of its own every now and then. It was responsible for the demise of the JeTiger and has tried to eliminate my scratch built foamies a couple of times. They were better handling so I was able to save them before hitting the ground. I'll take a prop pusher over an EDF jet everytime when it comes to using thrust to overcome gravity.
On a more positive note, I have completed all the changes to the MegaJet II. When I get my DX6I repaired I will take it out. I was able to put a 9X6 prop on it and still have over a 1 to 1 thrust ratio. It also dropped the watts down to around 450 which is good. Motor sounds like it is producing higher rpms so I should be able to get a little more speed. Hope the airframe can handle it since I used a limited amount of carbon fiber on the wings.
