I setup a new thread in the forum section for my MS Flight Simulator 2020 flight from Cambridge to our RC paddock to Richardsons beach.
I took some pics from my mobile phone of my monitor whilst flying. Cant seem to upload pics here so they are on this brief vid:
Tomorrow Tuesday is the best day wind wise for a fly for the week. And we can discuss a retrieval plan for Airforce one.
I had exactly the same dream. And now last night I dreamt that the Presidents plane aka Airforce One has also been delivered from its tree. But it’s now wanting to fly to New Zealand.
No video today from me, my keychain Cam has water damage and all blurry footage so being dried in rice.
Kermit the phone number for rian is wrong. It ends in 513 not 514.
I’m sure BA would have won if he added music to his 18minute epic video.
As many of you have float planes and swamp dogs let’s make use of the puddle and have a float session whilst the water is there!
Here is the Mavic Mini footage of the retrieval attempt. If you watch it soon then no music as takes youtube a while to add.
I would like to remind everyone I picked the good day. Makes a change after my last time that was drizzly. Today we had the bonus of waterlogged fields so perfect for the all terain Skipper (700mm mini) and Skipper XL (864mm span). The small skipper went nice but did not have an onboard camera but here is a keychain on the Skipper XL. It flew on a 3S 2200 pack off the water but with a new 3 blade prop for more thrust. It was hard to steer on the water as i took off the bottom plastic flotation plate. I now know it needs it so will reinstall.
The Skipper XL got water in the fusalage which is where the servos are including aileron so it got a glitching servo at the end. And my XK X450 was glitching too so I put the camera to look at the offending motor tilt servo. It flew OK so here is the video:
I will post the drone footage of the retrieval attempt later as need to add music thats acceptable to Kermit and youtube.
Or you can use a proper saw like in this video but will need a bigger drone. Tomorrow is the one ok day for a week. How about a fly and retrieval day?
