Good day’s flying

We had a good day’s flying on Wednesday. The conditions were great, other than a very wet and soggy strip.

Neil’s new Piper Cub looked great, and Ray had a really long flight on excellent thermals.

I haven’t flown since March, and it was good to be back.

Here’s a couple of videos of Neil’s Cub:

For Sale – The Kracken

I am letting some of my birds go to new homes.  The first is “The Kracken”.  This FliteTest designed depron aircraft is a lot of fun to fly.  It takes off very easily, handles well, no stall issues (no power, full up elevator and it just settles towards the ground).  It can also hoot along at a good pace with the twin motors at full power.

It has been built to accept a wide range of 3S LiPos in a dedicated velcro strap underbelly mount.  I have used 3S batteries from twin 2200s to 8000.

The “wow” factor in this bird is its night flying ability.  Forget looking for dots in the night sky.  The entire body of the aircraft is the light source which can be changed in flight using your 7 channel TX.

The removable bomb hardpoints are included.

Indoor Flying – May 15th

Hi everyone,

As some of you know I organise a monthly indoor flying sessoin for all people in the ACT and surrounds.

As I cant post to our club facebook page, I thought I should use the weekly forum to let you aknow that it is on this Sunday (15 May) starting at 4:30pm for a couple of hours.

We meet at the Tuggeranong Archery Club and fly in their hall which has an area of about 40m x 20m x 8m, and over the years have had all sorts of models come along, from small racing drones,  RC Drift cars, Capacitor powered free flight, EDF jets, Helicopters and 3D aerobatic stuff.

There is really no limit on what people have come along with over the years, but we cant use internal combustion motors, but if you have one of the CO2 beauties we would love to see it, and models should wigh less than 300 grams.

Largest model we have had is a 30″ span biplane called the Gym Dandy though we dont see its owner much any more, the smallest, and 8gram home made 3D model that used to travel down from Yass.

Anyone is welcome, but we ask a $10 fee from pilots to help cover the hall hire.
