Well its been a case of mixed fortunes this weekend
To start with a motor shorted on my Twister Bell47, took out the electronics, at £36 + £10 each for the motors, I think Ill give that repair a miss, shame but there we are,
Flew the Baron 30 today, just touched down after a few minutes flying, and to my surprise the enginne stopped, on closer inspection the fuel pick up line in the tank had broken off the fitting, and basically it ran out of fuel, that was a real lucky one, as that could have happened whilst in the air, which would have been interesting to say the least.
Flew the raptor after that and had a real blast, started to do some gentle figure of eights, and with a HH Gyro the difference between this and the Baron was huge, so much easier to control. had a great flight and packed it up feeling pleased with myself.
Before I went, I thought, lets have a quick flight with the Twister3D, Big Mistake, was a bit of a handful in the partially sheltered area I was in, but a gust of wind took it about 30yards across the field, and needless to say it was now feeling the full effects of the wind, I tried to recover it, but I am not that good yet and in it went, surprisingly I didnt feel too bad, (probably still on a high from flyinng the raptor), after rescuing it the damage was not as bad as I thought it might be, and I only have to get a couple of parts to get it up and running again.
Finally, this evening, I had another flight with the raptor,even felt safe enough to remove the training undercarriage and I cant wait to book another lesson this week to continue towards my A test.
Well thats it for now, hope you all ahd a good day,
Happy Flying
