Thought for the day

Handle every stressful situation like a dog.

If you can't eat it or hump it.

Pee on it and walk away.

Thumbs up Re: Second Maiden

A second chance to be a maiden...??? I'll have to think about that one

As to Monday... If the weather doesn't improve, you'll have to postpone the 'Remaiden' flight. Current prediction for Ontario weather shows below 10C temperatures and winds up to 30 Kms/hr. Not a good scenario for a maiden flight.

But there is always another day...

Good Luck!

Hey glad I'm only going to try and fly it in a small part of Ontario,as the weather for Elmira is a hi of 15 and winds of 10k which should be fine. Mind you the weather man has been wrong before,oops I didn't say that did I

Re: Second Maiden

Well the remaiden /second chance or whatever you wish to call it went well. The first flight was on a battery that had been charged a little while ago and was slightly down on amps/ watts/voltage.The plane flew well just a little sluggish. Had put the second pack on to charge while we flew with the first ,mind you takes a little longer to charge a battery than I could fly. The plane had three successfull flights then pilot error kicked in,I was passing the radio off to my buddy and some how he managed to hit the lock button at the bottom of my radio. He had no throttle control.Only thing was we didn't know he had hit it just the beep.. Well no motor plane come down ,and cause of our fields local it didn't make it to the runway. I have had it apart and assess it at about an hour repair and she will fly again. God I love this hobby.
Oh a few remarks,this plane with its current motor and battery is a very nice sport flyer,it will just hang a hover,it also flys so much smoother than with glow. Make it 3d just add two more cells making it an 8 s pack.
