That Sonic 64 should be good for flying around trees as sometimes my prop would get caught on twigs that were hard to see thru analog goggles. Has anyone gone HD FPV yet? I cant do FPV here seeing as we share a field with ultralights. Weather is back to 34 degrees and sunny so sailing more than flying. Rainy season will start soon though.
Was that the Sinker taking out another plane in the sky? As it happens we flew here in Philippines yesterday in 33 degrees C. I only got brief footage as my camera was not charged. The guy flying the gas helicopter also flies full size planes and helis and has even flown Marcos the President here around. He has offered to give me lessons in the RANS S12 ultralight as I have only flown the Quicksilvers so far. Here is a snippet from Saturday and my Quicksilver flight from 4 years ago. I am still sailing around 1 day a week here too. Wind is less this time of year so sailing is slow but means I can fly my drone from the boat again.
- Mike Both new printed planes look great. Gliders dont need as much pitch as dont fly fast but you keep the diameter for good climb rate. So 8 x 4 or 7 x 4 may be better.
- Cubs usually have 2 external wing struts which will make it look scale and strengthen the wing.
- I have 2 planes now in Philippines but its start of rainy season and also 3 active volcanoes that have just woken up. So no flying for a while.
- Is Scott our new president yet?
Was that really Kermit flying thru the posts in which case all of us need to sign up for his advanced flying lesson.
We have our first super typhoon for the season heading our way for next week with 260kmh winds but in Subic we will just get the rain and waves. There are some great videos on youtube of Joe Nall 2023 fly in in USA. In particular I like this 1 to 1 scale plane and think the pilot looks like Gadget Ron!
Hi Ricky
Yep the standard of flying is high here. They seem to focus on 3D and pattern flying. The big guy flying the red yellow and blue monoplane is ex F16 and F15 pilot. He is a big guy and struggled to fit into F16 or F15 dual seat versions but liked the F15 single seat versions. Now he is chief instructor teaching Filipinos how to fly military predator style drones. Must be a world class rc pilot. I cant even imagine how to fly like he does but he said he used to do a lot of rc simulator time but hasnt touched a simulator for over a year.
Looks like Bumbebee went full up elevator which makes it almost impossible to recover from the stall spin. Need to put flight controller to manual so you can neutralise control surfaces.
I went flying last Sunday so just put footage together of that. Included a marriage proposal so watch till the end…
Also here again my hovercraft footqge from yesterday if anyone missed it as i posted it in an old thread yesterday.
Well yesterday I got hovercraft footage in our local bay. The Marines call it a LCAC or Landing Craft Air Cushion and mother ship is USS Makin Island, a LHD or Landing Helicopter Dock. Has a lot of F35Bs and VTOL Ospreys on it. Keeping video unlisted so dont show to China or Russia, thanks.
I just got home to Subic after a 3 week sail that included lots of snorkeling, drinking and eating but no drone footage as forgot to take it. Glad you had a nice flying day. I’m waiting on a radiomaster boxer so I can fly more here.
We had a Draco here flying on Saturday and you can see a brief glimpse of it getting ready to fly in my footage.
The guy flying the big red acrobatic plane at the beginning is a ex Israeli F16 pilot who now teaches military drones here in Philippines to the airforce . Looks like he needs a TGFC advanced flying course.
We just had a big RC day here yesterday called RC Congress Philippines. The guy flying the big red acrobatic plane at the beginning is a ex Israeli F16 pilot who now teaches military drones here in Philippines to the airforce . Looks like he needs a TGFC advanced flying course.
I also flew in Philippines here on Sunday. No footage of me flying but the other two guys with me flew combat with nitro Spitfires and thdn one flew his small biplane 3D style. There is a big RC fly in next Saturday so hope to get better footage then.
Flying inverted should be flown at least one mistaken input high unless you are Scott. I think TGFS needs to have an inverted class. Here in Philippines Sapphire flight academy or SFA flies upside down whilst also training 20 flight attendants in the back.
The Zero is fantastic and only comment is all zeros are green and not white.
