Did some good flying today, .. Human Head R/W ..
3D aeros by addiction, .. sandy's fighter  Pics .. to follow

Fabulous photography. 

That was one  perfect 3D routine with addiction.

Good Flying day for addiction, did some real low alt hover, torque rolls, Rolling Harriers, Elevator Stall turn and Blender. Blender was bad, lost direction all the time in stall turn, rolling harrier wasn't smooth rest was ok, here are some snaps (Pardon the mobile pics). Interesting Moments were, Wing Tip Touch on KE, Rudder Kiss the ground in Hover, inverted fin touch (Aeroplane survived )

was very windy today, still braved addiction (Completed 175 Sorties Today) here are some pics from my Sh**y hat cam

After winds picked up, shelved addiction, started FPV, Setup is easy star , range video cam, CE OSD 1.5 (Gives Height, Speed, Volt, mah, to Home, what more do you need ?)

Did some FPV Flying and FPV Landing (FPV Landing i found much much easier) ,Flying While talking on mobile (FFS) also Left hand on Elev Aileron Stick on Mode 2 flying (Used to do that in real life too, often) while talking on mobile (This time it was serious, it was her !!), great fun , Easy star doesn't need to be flown, she flies herself, soars with engine cut because of up draft winds, here are some pics

PS
She flew for 23 min on a 2600 mah (Consumed 2000 mah), all passers by had a feel of FPV video, this gentleman on pic was ecstatic, wouldn't let anyone else have fun

Good place to hide from the winds is between the trees, best place to practice steady one place hover and torque rolls

PS
I am yet to set the date on my cam ! disregard date

Hi Gusty,

You seem to like the Easy Star, I have the same plane in disguise. It's called an AXN and is probably the most popular plane in Australia and New Zealand at the moment. I have one but on one of my rare trips to the field thanks to my friends. The darned plane simply wouldn't start. It worked perfectly at home but at the last minute, Nothing. By the time we found out the receiver had died it was too late to fly. So now it sits in the workshop at the field waiting for me.

I have just completed it's deluxe version, the Bixler. Identical at first glance but look closer and the fuse is a little larger. When you remove the canopy you can see why. The ESC, Receiver and battery can be fitted in side by side across the fuse with room to spare. I had to pour boiling water into it because they hot glued 4 massive and very heavy washers to keep the CG happy. I removed them so I can fit a much larger battery which takes care of the loss of washers. Why didn't they simply supply a larger battery than go to the trouble of fitting 4 steel washers in the nose ?

As with all my planes, I run Filament tape along leading edges, the nose if it's a pusher and along the underside if it's a belly lander. Plus I run a 2inch wide piece of double filament tape, both sides in the center of the main wing for added strength. It's amazing what just two lengths of tape can do to a wing. It removes any unwanted flexing and is as good as an extra spar.
Yes it does increase the weight a little but the tail gets the same treatment. Have you used filament tape? it's a packing tape with many rows of fiberglass imbedded in the tape. It's available with the glass running the length of the tape or running the length and breadth of the tape. Hobbyking have just started selling it. I order one in every order I place because it's about a tenth the price of the same from our hardware store.

I have just finished my bi monthly order from HobbyKing. I have 2 orders with Hong Kong and one with the Aussie warehouse.
I purchased a flying wing plus a suitable motor for it. An RPM sensor which allows you to operate the motor's speed without having to use a transmitter. Plus assorted motors to restock my dwindling collection, spare shafts and mounting kits and a collection of receivers and ESCs. I hate runnong out of anything. 2 days ago I received an email to tell me the altitude sensor for the Eagle Tree system had finally arrived so I ordered that on the spot in case they vanished before today.

Then I started on the Aussie warehouse to buy assorted batteries, a few more motors, ESCs etc.

Sorry have to go. My wife wants to check here banking  All the best mate  Stu

PS: The earlier post under my name is by Gusty. He did not realise my phone logged in my name.

thanks ! growing old ! did some heli flying under street light, long trainer legs are yet to come off, loop with trainer leg was scary it was shaking all through! violently

WOW ... Gusty & Sandy .. when will you make all these happen in Aizawl ?

Not growing old Gusty, Sandy and the rest of us - growing older.................

Gusty, if it (Heli with Trainers) was scary for an ace like you, what would it be for landlubbers like me? I know, I am $#i+ scared every time I try that.....................I wonder if should I take them off  my HK 450 and be a little more Gutsy?  

My heli's trainer legs are coming off in two-three days, somebody told me this, i think it was rajeev, in the field only serous dudes are the heli fliers, fixed wing guys are chatting and talking of post flying beer sessions and laughing about, how true (and boring to some extent),
