Either your numbers are incorrect or there was a lot of skulduggery going on with the handicaps.
I just redid the score sheet with handicaps based on the supplied results & they are vastly different from above.
Well done Kermit, the first major mid air prang and you actually got it all on video.
All the best for Wednesday my widdle green friend.
Yes sure was another perfect day in Paradise, teeshirts were a change to the windcheaters we have been wearing of late.
Tested the rebuilt Bix 2, she will be good for a few more training sessions yet (turned out there was a broken tooth on the elevator servo that has most likely been giving all the grief.
Flew the iNav equipped BumbleBee and this time used a decent flight battery, no issues at all.
Also extensively tested the (now iNav equipped) Raptor FPV platform. This time (after I adjusted the couple of settings I forgot last week) she performed flawlessly. Will get the new low profile camera gimbal & FPV VTX refitted now ready for our next fly.
I forgot the handicam footage.
I need to fit a fresh water tank for the fire cannon, people get rather annoyed if you squirt salt water over their models, and it clogs the pump up to boot.
I started a new camera mount design to allow the panning GoPro to fit on the rear deck and then the water cannon can stay on the fore deck, may even get it finished one day.
Now lets see you get real smart & synchronise the artificial horizon with the actual flight !!, shouldn’t take but a few hours & obviously you have plenty of time on your hands.
The new “FPV Dashboard” is a massive improvement on the original one you used but perhaps it needs to be made just a tad smaller so as not to obscure the scenery.
Looks great regardless.
Yes Hoppy, it was a tad cool but otherwise a nice day for another fly.
Think I have the iNav system sorted out on the BumbleBee finally but I need to order some new LiPo batteries as some of mine date back to 2016 and have had hundreds of flights.
I think this is what caused a brownout (and FC reset) today on the last flight of the BumbleBee. Luckily only a broken prop blade to replace & it will be good to go again.
Had a flight with the E-flite Pulse XT25e today, first in a while but as always it performed flawlessly.
The Eyas “Li’l Eagle” biplane also got a good workout today.
I’ve just re-edited my 2 videos & added some extra footage “borrowed” from Toad Hall Productions, thanks Kermit.
Another quality video from Toad Hall Productions.
Sure was a busy day in the air above the Field today.
