I found something to do when too windy to fly RC. Find someone who has spent 15 years building and a lot of money on a 767 simulator and fly that. I was in the jump seat for a take off circuit and landing at New York La Gardia today. Then I flew a different twin GA sim myself from queenstown to mt cook in NZ. Good landing at My Cook airstrip but I just took a few stills as busy.
Well done, is it painted black now? No wind forecast on Saturday but some showers in afternoon so could do a test fly in the morning.
Kermit back to his old games started charging us again in the real President’s absence. $100 entry fee including a compulsory donation is getting pricy. Mugs present were Kermit, Gerald, Mitch, BA, Scottie and myself. Wind was light for the time of year and fee included a BBQ. Here is my flight cam footage.
The TL2000 now has the matt black felt from Mike which is from Spotlight and seems to keep down the canopy glare well. But the planes wheels are too small for the long grass so I just flew LOS and took off from the driving track.
The Esky eagles handled the grass fine but I only flew FPV briefly as getting interference. Here is the footage:
Well I thought I was a Top Gun qualified seaplane pilot but one solo flight later and I had a bingle. Here is the unlisted footage as close to a national park. No plane damage but the floats needed glueing and I was 2 hours drive from my glue. Need to pack that on next expedition. I want a refund from Top Gun flight school, seaplane division!
Here is footage of the Drifter chasing Bixlers and Eskys around:
Here is brief footage from the hawkeye split 4k cam on the ZOHD Drift. Was first flight of the day so cloudy. Need to test it on a sunny day:
Scott welcome to our house of madness. Hopefully Gerald and Kermit will have nice footage. No eagles were harmed in my Drifter video.
and here is the TL2000 footage with mini mobius. The floats leak at the cheap chinese glue seams so need to fix that.
My Drifter has the cheap keychain cam at moment as mobius is on the TL2000. But it still managed to spot Kermits Wedgie but I then did a spin to get away from it. Seems Eagles are not interested in the Drifter as it does not look bird like. My Cloud AXN has been attacked though.
