Weekend Flying

Just a quick update on weekend flying. Put in some time at Lyneham yesterday, and we (binaryboy and myself - DJ is away) did some flying at a new field in Kambah today (out the back of the Kambah Woolworths). The field has an old set of netball courts, which the goal posts have been removed from, giving a nice bitumen hardtop for landings and takeoffs. Two zero landings with no nose over - certainly makes a different having the bitumen.

Binaryboy put up his custom stryker b (with brushless) which flew pretty well, although he will need to make some mechanical trim adjustements.

I tried to fly the Tucano but she was getting awful glitches and after three wave off landing attempts (keeping her super close to me) I finally managed to get her down in one piece, but not without broken undercarriage.

Thinking the wind was strong but steady I put the RV4 up, just as the wind started to get gusty. Managed to ger her in for an average landing, but she is in one piece.

Anyway, I've put together a video of the Tucano flying (including some British metal). Once I have stopped her glitching I'll try and put together some better video:
