| Well, the weather held out over here in the UK today, so I actually got my first flight on my Webra powered 3DNT. Wow 
It started very quickly and ran well straight away (CoolPower15, OS8 plug). I had it very rich so the first flight only lasted 6 or 7 mins, and the headspeed was way low. Second flight it tuned it up a little to get it running nicely on the pipe and the thing was explosive ! I thought my Voyager and old Futura Nova were powerful, but this thing takes the piss. All I was doing was some gentle hovering and a few blats on the collective to see what the climbout was like. I can see this is going to take a little getting used to. Anyhow, after setting up according to Jans instructions absolutely no trimming was necessary at the field. It hovered whereever you put it, the tail held straight - it was as good as it gets.
Tomorrow, some circuits... (and with the canopy on !) |
He also did one of the evil sideways take-offs amongst other things, which as a spectator I feel a lot more comfortable with whenit is someone elses model
