Kermit my man, Great video yet again.
Hopefully I will make it this week.
Wednesday or Thursday looking ok at this stage.
Looks like everyone enjoyed themselves regardless of my absence & didn’t get up to too much mischief.
Nice to see that Stephen has lost none of his flying prowess during his long European sojourn.
You have excelled again with your video of the days happenings Mr Frog.
Yes, David P (your yesterday visitor) has been in touch and is now a paid up member of the motley crew and will no doubt be waiting for the next fly day to come & show off his skills.
Sunday is looking like another very nice flying day & I’ll put the calendar up if anyone is interested. Unfortunately I have been informed that I have another prior engagement (grandkids birthday) so looks like I’ll miss out again.
Oh well, give me a bit longer to get over my recent ailments.
Plenty of work to do to keep me occupied anyway, a few repairs to the biplane (not the foam one) that was involved in an altercation with my grandson & his ride in 4wd truck a little while ago. Also, Fab has dropped his newly acquired flying steeds up to have them programmed to his radio & to get the flight controllers set up.
Like they say, no rest for the wicked.
No need for comments from me as Kermit summed the day up perfectly.
May need to stay home today to continue to thaw out !!
Kermit, you need to check your email, Ive sent a couple over the last few days re your batteries & you have not replied to either.
BTW your site password is reset as requested & NO we haven’t been hacked.
Methinks if this weather is going to keep up over the winter months Fog Lights & foghorns will need to be fitted to all the yachts !!
Sorry I missed it.
After a long and exhaustive investigation into the malfunctioning aileron on the Fox 3M it turned out to be a dead servo. (A Predator MG Digital Servo none the less). A replacement is on the way from the good old US of A. Will be airborne again in a couple of weeks hopefully.
Now I better sort out the missing video.
There was some nice flying by your good self in the earlier part of that video, looking very professional. Just a shame they all ended up beaten and battered.
Overall though a very enjoyable video non the less.
After a fair bit of stuffing around to find a “New Generation” FC that would actually fit inside the V2 Excalibur I ended up with a Speedy Bee F405 WING Mini.
It’s now in and tested & hopefully ready for her maiden flight on Thursday.
Be interesting to see if I can also get this one up to 176 KPH BUT without hitting the ground this time.
Results of the last attempt at exceeding 100MPH (with #1)
Battery was a little bit worse for wear as well.
# 2 Ready to roll out.
Tis a bit squeezy but its all in and working and the 4S 2200 battery still fits (just)
