It's been a while since I posted anything here, so in the dead calm weather today I managed to burn a few batteries chasing birds around.
Not the type of birds I was hoping for. :D

This aint' no Spocktra50 video. :)
Haha, I kind of expected to find one skewered to my pitot tube when I landed Andy, I feel a new challenge coming on for when we meet up next...
Nice :)
I`ve still not maidened mine yet :-[
Looks like you were having fun! Bet the farmer would have been happy as well, keeping the flock off his freshly ploughed field! :D
I bet you enjoyed that long walk to the plane after that landing lol
It wasn't that bad and on my way home anyway. Probably far less exercise than I could do with.
Very sad but lovely to see farming, using GPS guidance, with the "every other run" routine !!
Can't wait to get the Vent going 😬 Speed differential between that and the Falcon looks big !!!! 9x6 fitted ready 😀😀😀😀😀😀
That's a great vid and good fun and nice flying and an impressive speed envelope - I must check out that airframe -
My wallett is twitching already...
;)
In the flight before this one I was giving it the beans and she topped just over 120mph!

Jeeezzz a little bit different to the 80-90kph I do with the Falcon !!!
Can't wait for maiden day, as long as my building skills allow it to survive 😂😂😂
Don't worry Vacey, the build looked great when I saw it.

Wow that's fast for such a big wing. What motor are you running? The OS?
Nah'. I use a Scorpion SII 1190kv / 110a SJ EnergPro and a 9x7.5 APC prop. The package touches 90a at full throttle.
My servos are fully inboarded which I think helps with airflow over the wing a lot.
And they are a lot thinner! But not seen a video... so it didn't happen! Thems the rulez!

Rules are rules, so just for you Brucey: :P
That's better. Love the intro audio, sounds familiar!
Is that a Venturi Evo 1 or Evo 2?
It's an EVO 2. But with skinny wings from a slope soarer
