Well Mr Moose worked his magic yet again and picked another perfect flying day for us @ the field, Sandford.
Unfortunately Moose was a bit off colour today and ended up not flying. Hope you are feeling better again soon Mr Moose.
His off colour was probably not helped when the maiden of his brand new Decathlon did not go well (I’m sure someone got it on video) and it bit the dust rather heavily after tip stalling & failing to recover regardless of what was tried. I really do hate maidening others builds, bad enough when you prang your own but it’s always worse when someone else has done all the hard work. Sorry really doesn’t give much comfort. Oh well Mr Moose, another winter project to repair it methinks.
Although there were a couple of regulars missing from the flight line today we had a good turn up of 9 with Moose, Gerald, Andrew, Mike, Scott, Ron, Neil (and son) & Kermit.
The air was quite congested at times but apart from the Decathlon there were no other mishaps (well none that I saw).
My first flight today with the Excalibur V2
My second flight, this time changed to a 3S rather than 4S battery to see if it thermals better.
My third flight chasing thermals, once again with a 3S battery

Commiserations to Mr Moose for the not so successful first flight of the Decathlon. We look forward to the rebuild and getting it back in the air again. We also feel for you too Mike as it’s not a good feeling when that happens to someone else’s plane.
Here is a video of my last automated flight with the C1 Chaser today. I have tried adjusting some of the flight parameters to achieve a better landing but the airspeed seems way too high and landings were overshooting. I did notice from the telemetry that I did have a tailwind on one of the landings.
A couple of wins are I sorted the plane going left and successfully tested the abort landing function which will be in another video.
The next video with the test aborted landings. Three aborts and then I manually landed it.

Mike please don’t worry about the flight we all know it can happen to any one at any time.
To Robo Ron well done on the video and flight

Great video Kermit and I think your video captures the events of the day very well. You can really see the effort you have done with all the special effects and video mixing and splicing etc.
A very good contender for the GMA in my opinion.

Thank you Mr. Kermit for this fine instructional video on the fine art of joining wires.
Now we all know why your planes fly so well ????
I was in the Electrical Trade for nearly 50 years and still managed to learn a lot from this excellent, professionally made and produced video.
What will be in the next episode?

Wow Kermit, what can I say? Another quality Toad Hall Production.
The first module in my Radio Technician training when I joined the Air Force was High Reliability Hand Soldering. Well, that was a waste of time. We could have watched your video!
I love the out takes at the end and suggest you should have had a set of false teeth when you were trying to strip the wire. It would have looked really good if the teeth had come out during the process 🙂
I too have been filmed in a presentation I did back in 2017 at REAST on our topic of flying.
Can I counteract your video with this one?

Very informative video Mr Kermit, but at 15 minutes & 48 seconds it was about 15 minutes 30 seconds too long.
