Brave flight bud,  but I suppose in a way, it's safer out there with nothing to block your signal. Well done. 😀

Great flight, nice to see a take-off and landing as well. Twinstars are such a chilled out airframe that keeps on giving!  :funfunfun:
You should see a lot more Twinstar vids coming this spring/summer. :thumbsup:

Fantastic video.  I think I would have gone 'oh sh*t' if I had seen the trip I had to make back when returning home.  It looks a very long way.  Plane looks like it performed perfectly. Well done

I still fancy a Twinstar, I've even got the motors and escs for it just never bought the airframe.

Thx lads for all the praise, Yeah it was a bit scary coming back, more so when I could see how far the coast was, but I've got lots of faith in her and shes never let me down yet!! lol  (?)

I also increased the gain and throw in the cyclops tornado for elev and ail, as last time she was porpoising and floating left to right a lot.

I didn't get notified of any replies to this thread for some-reason?

brave brave man... I've done a similar flight over swansea bay... from the hospital to the lighthouse and back. the return journey over the water was nerve wracking to say the least

skywalker 1900 or a skyhunter... both are epic and will do you proud :)

Going for my maiden flight this weekend in my new Skywalker 1900.  Looks like it's an awesome FpV plane. Just hoping I don't total it on takeoff!!

Love my Skywalker, it's the most docile thing I've flown yet.

Same with the twinstar, a great learners plane tbh.

Hope we get a warm still summer, would love to see how far I can get, just a shame there's a lot of noise around here. But for the summer I've been thinking about flying around high force, maybe follow the river and down over the falls.

Damn that was a long way out, when you turned around the land looked a lot further away :)

Good job - wouldn't have been too keen on navigating back from that flight without an RTH indicator!!
