70cc twin V2
Finally got to the field this year! Zero wind, 50 degrees, and had the field all to myself! Because I didn't know the condition of the runway (other than covered in snow) I only took my .40 size profile planes so I could hand-launch them. Turns out there is a hard crust on the snow and I could have flown the bigger stuff. I got in 11 flights between my Mojo and Primo. Burned over 1/2 gallon of glow fuel 8 oz at a time, or about 2 hours of solid flying time!
Got a little too confident after the RF practice this winter, the profiles are waaaaay twitchier than the sim planes! Both mishaps with the Primo, knife edge a little too low and caught the aileron tip, resulting in a tear in the covering on the aileron as the only damage. A little packing tape and right back at it. Was having fun with a descending and climbing flat spin for about 5 minutes on the next flight, got bored at about 5 feet and went to fly out of it, but overcorrected because the profile does everything so fast and pancaked it in the snow. No damage at all from that one! All in all a great morning of flying!
