Today Hoppy (Chris) was the weatherman making the call to fly and whilst it wasn’t prefect it definitely was an improvement on my last couple of calls.
It was a bit chilly starting out at about 6deg @ the field and slowly creeping its way up to a max of 12 but at least the wind was generally only light (but lazy & cold) and got even lighter after lunch.
We had 7 pilots today with Chris, Gerald, Moose, Kermit, Stephen, Ross & me.
Kermit got off to a bad start & bent his “Black Boy” so it will be off to the repair shop for him. Moose managed a couple of decent flights with his Tundra until a bit too hard landing loosened his landing gear and put him out of action as well.
Stephen went close to another mishap with a parked car after finding his rebuild plane had far too little aileron control to be successful. After a tweak on the radio limits he was back in the air and had successful flights for the rest of the day.
Ross had a couple of flights with his U.5 (Black Bix 3 Spy Plane) but did not have the FPV gear reinstalled so only had limited time in the air.
Chris was flying several different planes today inc the Skipper in and around the trees (video to follow later) and also his Warthog that finished is last flight on one engine only after throwing one of the EDF fans out into the middle of the field. As luck would have it we managed to find the part (bright orange colour helped) & no doubt it will soon be repaired. He also managed several nice long flight with his X450 VTOL plane with a camera attached for at least one of them.
My Bix 2 Sport is still in the repair shop (almost finished) so I opted to fly the 2M Prowler FPV & give the new Visor X – Little Pilot VR headset a good workout.
Two successful flights of around 10 minutes each & I was duly impressed with the FPV headset & the Prowler in the sometimes rather bumpy conditions.
Here are a few videos from today
