    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Your club doesn't have general guidelines on taking off and landing into the prevailing winds?

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I don't think the goal is to hit the runway but rather to land gently on it :spongebob:

    Generators?

    I have an older Honda EM650 generator that was retired from fire service. The thing still works awesome, have to use devices that take up to 160v input because it does put out a lot of juice. Fires every time first pull no longer how long it's been sitting. Not as quiet as the newer Honda...

    Aztech Aeromodels Spot on Version2 Servo Arms

    I wish I had the room for the additional weight but I'm stuck with using the cheapie foamy wheels since it's an electric. Need all the weight savings I can get. I need a 3" wheel as well so I can use my spats, the 4" wheels on it now are too large.

    All of the giants can seem to land in half our runway no problem. The slimers have the most issues, might be because of the higher wing loading.. :banana-dance:

    Hey man that runway can be hairy to land some airplanes on! You should see some of these guys try to land. There's barely enough runway for them to stop.

    365 foot runway ontop of an old landfill. To the sides and behind us are hills sloped about 20* down, then there is a 200 ft hill directly in front of us about 200 feet out. Oh and did I mention all of the methane gas pipelines we fly around? See pics of hill and pipelines in previous post.

    You know it's too windy to fly when a hot Multiplex Funjet looks like it's barely crawling across the runway at WOT!

    All electronic devices have the magic blue smoke inside of them. The trick is to not let it out :epic:

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I fly ontop of an aircraft carrier with all kinds of terrain around. 5mph seems like nothing until you realize that one second it's blowing straight in and the next it's coming from the side, and all of 5 seconds later it's coming from the other side :eek:

    Bit breezy at about 5mph constant, but that didn't stop me. I think I need to order a Graphtech main gear for it... The aeroworks gear handles real funny.. They say they have them in stock.. hmm..

    48" Extra 300 EXP
