I Can Fly
Flying Wallet
Well today was a good day for me. I managed to get down the park with the family and fly my new rc aeroplane. The weather was a little windy, but that didn’t stop me. Admittedly I was a tad nervous seeings that my jet has crashed here a couple of times, and that I haven’t even been able to get my helicopter off the ground, unless of course it is trying to attack me. The chopper has now been officially put to the side and more attention on the trainer.
The trainer originally had wheels on it, but they were just a little small to taxi down the runway and kept on stalling the motor. So it was back to hand launch time. The first time it left my hand today I felt my heart stop for a second and then I saw how gracefully it was floating across the sky. Still had a little nerves running through me, but I felt it all come back to me. It was an amazing feeling.
Another Crash Landing
Rebuild No 1
Crashed (again)
On this fine labour day public holiday, myself and Goose went down the park to fly our aircraft’s. The weather a little windy, but I wont blame that on my poor piloting skills. I got Goose to hand launch my stinger 64 for me, and that was great. I could fly it straight (lol), but when it came to turning it I seemed to be putting it into the ground, and because it was airborne, the crashes were a little more damaging. We didn’t get any video unfortunately because by the time Goose hand launched it and got to the camera it was already in pieces. On the other hand Goose managed to fly both his quadcopters without any damage. I think he will be posting some footage of that tonight on his website fangin.com. We met another fellow RC fan out there who also took a chopper and a plane. He flew both of those without any problems either. For me it’s back to the garage and rebuild, yet again.
Soldering
Finally I managed to get the knack of soldering. I have done it before but not to often. I’ve got a little slag on a couple of the connectors but on a whole it’s not to bad. I’ll be a little better next I hope. Now on with the rest of the build. Hoping I can have this chopper together by the end of the weekend.
