Yes, interesting is one way to describe it.
I found the build instructions on line but they don’t look that easy to follow. Suspect that their listed 5 hour build time will quickly expand into 15 or 20 hours.
Anyway it will be something to keep me amused during the next lockdown !!
Yes a pretty nice day for our final fly before Christmas 2021.
The late morning wind was a bit of an issue but we all needed to clear the skies when the Water Bombing chopper turned up to quash a small bushfire, on the property next door, that was getting out of hand with that southerly wind.
Other than Moose having a programming issue with his Razor (now fixed) and Hoppy pranging his Auto Gyro the day went of pretty smoothly.
A nice bit of video work there Mr Kermit.
The Moose will probably say “too much wildlife” but I liked it none the less
That’s the second time I’ve knocked the tail off the fox (luckily no major damage) but at least this time I can see why.
May look at a minor mod to the “Dolly Trolley” so that next time I forget & give it up elevator too soon it won’t have anything to catch on.
Other than that on the second (afternoon) launch, the morning flight was a perfect FPV cruise.
Moose, for your first onboard camera you can’t go past a RunCam2, get the orange one as its easier to see than the black one.
Stay away from the RunCam Split & the Mobius Mini. They are both great cameras but not for your first one.
The RunCam 2 comes in 4K and 1080P these days (I think) but the 1080P is fine for what we do.
Very nice Uncle G.
Good move not using OB motors. They would look great & perform well but oh the forever maintenance. That was why I removed them from “Double Trouble” and went to twin inboard motors.
Don’t forget to install lights as I’m sure we will eventually manage to organise another twilight mass sailing @ the canal.
