LMAO...

I tend to price things up in dollars and then allude it to HK dollars... so it cost loads less that it actually did, if that helps :P

Oh well, bit of glue and CF later it'll be as good as low mileage second hand.

A huge thanks to Coyote and PK-Surfing for their help today.  OK, you got the last 6 seconds of the fourth (technically third ;) flight... but after trimming it was flying a dream.

Wind picked up a bit more than I'd have liked with a new bird, but hey, back in at the deep end and it was great to get my thumbs on the sticks.

Funky Diver

Yeah it wasnt too bad. Bit of glue it`l be right. I must admit the grey is hard to see, but the birdie sticker stuck out so well you could pick it out
Education and schoolin is good, but FPV is gooder :)

True enough... but I won't be looking AT the plane I hope, at least I figured that would be the idea, haha  :laugh:

That is true, but the spotter needs to no which way you are going, so if you do loos video, you can still bring it back.
unlucky with the damage, its not that bad, good Luke with the next flight. G :)

Funky Diver

For the record, it wasn't orientation that caused the issue...

Plane was on low throttle banking round to land into a head on wind and got caught right where there was an updraft.

Longer vid of the flights will be up once I've finished editing

Funky Diver

The full final flight (we'd been setting trim and servo travel in three previous flights!)

SW Flight 4 - The Whole Flight

Excuse the shakiness of my Camera man... I can't really sack him, he's only 9, lol

Coyote

He did pretty good to keep it in shot :)

It was pretty good once it was trimmed out, look forward to next time with hopefully better weather :)

Fd  :D You obviously like a challenge the weather could have been better for you though.

Glad she is basically sound, it looked a nasty impact at that distance.

Your boy deserves credit for his camera work not easy to hold a camera still in that wind.

The sky is for byrds and fpvers
