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.
