I’m going out flying thread 2019

i did some studying and believe I can show you a short video of the C-123 Twin Cargo plane on floats in this one the snow was almost melted away on a nice 50 degree day but we still had a great time

I hope this works This is for you AKNick this was my first time using the Go Pro with out doing to much studying up on the thing It works

Here is a little longer video of my Electric PT-17 with the go pro Hero 7 mounted on top of the wing with Velcro Worked great. This video was just a few days after the 4"s of snow melted and we were back to nice warm upper 50 degree days after a day of high winds 20 mph with gust of 40 mph then the next week we had another 4"s of snow so I loaded up the 2.1m Cessna 150 and took it out for a few flights with floats off the snow, Flying these planes off snow on floats is much easier and enjoyable then flying with ski's. In soft or powdery snow there is no worrying about the floats digging in and flipping your plane as on ski's

Here is a question for you AKNick. How do I insert my you tube channel into my preferences here ?

I'm not quite sure what you are asking. Looks like you've added it in your posts, but it wont let me watch the video here - I have to go to YouTube. If you embed the video url by clicking on the image that looks like a video reel you can embed the video in the post.

I managed to get in about four hours of flying today with the Laser. Unfortunately during the last flight before packing it in there was a mid air, it is repairable I believe but won't know for sure until I get deeper into it and that is not happening today.

Ugh. Hate to see that. How's the other plane?

The front half of fuse and wings disintegrated, the back half of fuse was hooked to my fuse.

Really sorry to hear about your flying day. Sounded like it was awesome right up to that point...

In 40 some years of flying RC I have only been involved in one midair. I was instructing one of my students at a club field when another member experienced one engine out on his Twin Star 40. We started climbing to get out of his way while he was doing just the opposite of what he should have been doing and was turning into the dead engine trying to get to the runway. he came up under my student's plane. The twin star came up under us, and the gear on the High Wing cut both wings off the twin and the prop on the high wing cut all kinds of slits in the top of his fuse (What ever will be,will be, What isn't suppose to be some times Happens) My deepest sympathies Sir. This happens some times. Even though we try to fly as safe as we can, using spotters watching out for us and others

@acerc that looks very painful. There is not much you can say to make that any better. Sorry to see that. That will take a lot of work to fix.
