10 at the field today and I got to meet James at the gate. 2 videos from me, first is from my Drifter flown FPV above the hill again:
And here are Kermits 2 flights with the first being very succesful:
No damage to my Esky Eyas from the gentle clip from behind and I cant even see a scratch. Here is brief FPV footage from the Eyas but no the clip.
And here is my trusty Drifter. its been 12 months since Ive flown FPV so was a bit rusty and didnt help being swamped on my 5.8ghz video from the rescue drone. But as its a known issuue I just flew close by. Today was a perfect weather day with weak but consistent thermals for the gliders.
My little jet will be an easy fix. The ESC connector disconnected after 8 min full throttle flight. I viewed the Kermit Mk 1 video. Who can explain the differences to the Mk 2 version so I dont have to sit and watch again! Seems Karl and Fab had bingles too, again minor i hope.
Karl, Mike, myself and Ralph flew today and despite being almost total overcast there were good thermals even at 9 30am. Kermit wanted to sharpen his video skills so didn’t fly. His footage is great and notice there were no oops moments today.
Was a nice day wind wise but a lot of mud and weed to contend with at the canal today. Here is footage from both ends of the waterway.
Looks too windy Saturday with 12kts forecast at Sandford. So my vote is for Tuesday with forecast as of today. But I can be available Saturday Monday or Tuesday.
This Friday looks nice for a fly but I still cant post a calendar event or find the perpetual flying forum.
It was a great day weather wise to fly. There was a good turn out and most stayed for the BBQ. Andrew had a minor bingle and also we had great thermal flights in out gliders. Here is brief footage of Kermits parachute drops and Karl’s super fast pylon racer.
