The I'm going out flying thread 2016

Is the pump getting to hot?

Not at all, even running it for the longest periods of time (completely filling or draining the tank).

I'm going to tinker with it for a little bit to see if I can't come up with an improvement to its current design.

Worth the 40 seconds to watch me destroy a mojo40.

Better than destroying a 170cc Krill.

Tried to fly it again with the wing missing. Lasted about 15 seconds. Needless to say I'm no Colton Clark who I have seen videos of flying a slab with only one wing.
Then I got my sbach out and was having fun but got a little carried away on my third flight and cartwheeled it. Bent the aluminum fuse tube. Was able to straighten it out over my knee though as she is good as new.

Went out today. First time in 2 months (I broke my right wrist). Felt good but will need help getting the big plane started.

Beautiful weekend this weekend. Perfect weather for flying, though I only managed 6 flights on the 107 Yak. The Slick Pro got some working out too out at the dez:

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Well I didn't go flying but, I did go take pictures last night of a friend flying his Pawnee that is setup for night flying. Also, got to try out the remote triggering of 2 flashes, one on each side of the runway, that I have been wanting to try for over a year. Needless to say, it was a blast! I know it isn't giant scale but, it is still pretty cool

I might also add that it was freakin cold! By the time he finished his 4th battery, my fingers were numb.

I went Sunday. Just a slight crosswind from the west. No big deal. Got in 6 flights until light rain set in 1 hour before dark.

Took my old Funtana X 100 23cc. Had a blast.
