Another beautiful Autumn day down in Southern Tas today and a perfect day for flying @ The Farm.
There was a bit of wind when we arrived but that didn’t stop Gerald maidening his brand new Bixler3.
He only had one flight but he was a happy chappy none the less as the Bix3 flew beautifully and the autopilot/stabiliser he had pilfered from one of his old Quads performed almost flawlessly.
Kermit managed a flawless parachute drop of his very large Aussie flag (finally got it right) but somehow managed to bust a prop when attempting a flight with his Tundra “Grass hopper”, perhaps a bit too much “grass” eh Kermie.
Around midday we broke for the usual “Flight Line Cafe” BBQ lunch while we waited for the wind to settle.
Ross had several FPV flights with his Bix3 and even managed a couple of take-offs and landings under full FPV control.
I has several successful flights with my rebuilt Bix2 Predator Sport (yes the one that was smashed to bits a few short weeks ago). It’s amazing what you can achieve with a bit of contact adhesive & a hot glue gun (so long as you pick up all the pieces after a prang). She still flies like she always did.
Also managed two nice FPV flights with The Phoenix (modified Nine Eagles SkyClimber), see video below.
