Discussion The I’m Going/Went Flying Thread

[pawnshopmike]

Camping with the family this weekend. There’s about a 2 acre clearing were we are at so I brought some foamie along.
39” Crack Yak, 32” Crack Laser and the Crack Mini Pitts have all been getting a good workout the last couple days.

Flew quite a few planes this morning and my Blade 250 4 times. Then this evening went back out Test flew a friends 70 mm F-16, 4 more flights on my Balde 250 2 flights on my E-flite F-4 Phantom and the second flight on my Flight Line B-24 Liberator. The B-24 flying on 2 4 cell 4000's has more power than it needs

Went out this morning and flew my Blade 250, 5, Flight's 6 minutes each and my E-Flite F-4 Phantom. I have been getting a lot of jet time with the ones I have

I have been flying a lot of the new EDF's They are a blast to fly. The greatest down fall is the short flight time. They average between 3 to, maybe 5 1/2 minutes. Considering the average surveyed flight time on almost every thing else is 8 minutes. The time for the EDF's compared to my gasser,s I fly is considerable, But they are fun to fly. The new E- Flite A-10 Twin 64 mm EDF I can get 5 minutes out of now that I am getting equated with is a great little Jet

When it comes to anything high speed, 3 minutes is about all I'm good for anyway.

What size packs? Also what C rating? I hear they get puffy quick with a too low C-Rating.

 

[Wild man]

The packs I have been flying the E-Flite A-10 with are Admiral's 6cell 3300's 30c, and their 6cell 4000 60c Pro. The 3300 30c pack is 6 oz. lighter then the 4000 60c packs. As we all know the lighter the plane is, the better it fly's normally. I have found it flies better in the wind with the heavier pack. With the heavier pack the glide ratio is not as good and the landing speed it a little higher, and has a little more power. The 30c rated packs are doing fine just like new with over 50 cycle's now. With any of these EDF's I try to use the recommended
C-Rating or higher and have not had any problem with the packs getting puffy

First time out in a long time, especially for the Python 100, but happy to be able to add my entry to this thread!

Two long flights with the Python, and one short with the Commander. Was a bit warm, but beautiful blue sky and a light breeze.
