anyone else, even though its 11:15pm here, have the urge to go out flying right now? Wonder what the wind is doing out there. I do have the 40 with the lights on it now. Hmmmm.

go for it!!!!

I did go out and check. It's blowing 10-15 out there right now. A bit much for the 40 EPP in the dark. Almost a bit much for it during the day. Flew it earlier this afternoon and it wasn't the most enjoyable flight. Just not enough mass to really fling it around in those conditions.

Great flying Aaeolien. I wish I could fly in a small confined place like that, I just can't stay off the throttle in the long run.

 

[Aaeolien]

Thanks. Its fun to try and keep it just in my our own yard. Most of the time I will also really use the street so its not so small. Great practice for sure.

Nice video, except for the roof landing. Ha Ha I don't think I could fly in that small of a space with that many obstacles . Great job

 

[Aaeolien]

Lol thanks. The roof landing was an aborted attempt at "landing" on the side of the house in a hover. Clipped the roof edge on the way by. Figured it had to go in the video for a good laugh.

Grrr can't catch a break with the wind. Blowing 10 to 15 again today. Did go out to the field and out 3 flights on the 48 2 on the 42 and 4 on the 40 EPP. Managed to goof up down low with the 40 when a big wind gust grabbed me and broke off the firewall. Whoops. Of course wasn't that on the first flight of the day. Little ca and kicker and she,s as good as new. A little uglier since the foam didnt quite go back together evenly. Finished out that battery and did fly 3 more after it happened. Tried to rip it back off with KE spins and other craziness. Looks like it got fixed ok it didn't go flying off at any point. Lol.

Gave the peanut gallery a scare when I purposely dragged the rudder on the 48 for about 5 feet in harrier followed by a climbing flat spin. They all thought I was going in. I don't think much 3d gets flown there.
