Part 2 of the Hobbyking Mimosa Review - Build, Tips, etc

Took the Skyfun out yesterday

The iNAV flight controller software stack is hitting its "v2.0" milestone and I'm doing my bit to test and improve and catch issues. Would recommend this to multirotor/fixed wing entusiasts looking for advanced capabilities like position hold / return to home.

Here's a quick position hold test on my 6" mini quad.

Took out the Hobbyking Red Eagle 3D Hummer today 

Today I made this instructional video

Flying at the beach

Looked at old videos from a few years ago

When you're too lazy to go out but have the itch to fly...

Flew my V977 Indoors, too windy outside (Just hovering). Flew a lot of planes and helis on my Simulator later.

RC Kite eagle flown again

I made a video for flight tips of the E-Flite X-Vert, a VTOL plane.

I am getting old but I still love to fly fast

This week I like flying low and slow so I made this video

Nice flying and lovely video. As usual...

@theleabres  :  Thats awesome in some many levels, you enjoy it and nobody is disturbed, everybody minds his own business and yet you fly wonderfully in a populated park without causing any alarms. Absolutely love your take on the hobby.

@pnkyjs  thank you for the compliments.  I am just sharing so others can learn that it can be an easy hobby.  Sometimes, a light small plane is all you need that is cheap to build and even cheaper to fix, unlike the big fancy ones.

Here is the flight from this week in a little more challenging weather:

Flight today early morning 06:30

Installed electronics in the AXN Clouds Fly and maiden flight

Sold the AXN Clouds and built the Banggood Sky Surfer.  Here's the maiden flight

Got the EPP Shark on sale at $19 a few months ago. Finally glued it together. It's gentle, a good beginner plane since it's easy to repair.

Flew (and sold) the micro skyhunter yesterday but also made a video of the flight

Good mini plane with bright paint.

Built another GWS Slow Stick and flew it yesterday.  The kit takes about 30 minutes to build.

Opened a new box Hobbyking F16 Falcon EDF and tested the motor.
