Went out today with 2 planks in one piece, came back with 1 in one piece lol,
Put the battery in the Jamara Roo, launched it, and all was good, a couple of nice turns, thought to myself, this is alright, lol, so pull up vertical, and back round, but at the top of the loop, the canopy clips fail, and the canopy hits the prop, and rips the motor mount clean off the plane, DOH, will see if it will epoxy back together lol, and yes Patrick (muscleflex) I will get a pic later lol.
So after that I thought I would take the mx2 up, a little gusty, with the xc weather reporting gusts of 18 to 20mph, but what the heck... Getting it off the ground was interesting at the field, as it is a little bumpy really lol, but once up, a few circuits, then into the loops and rolls, no problem, felt a little docile, so flicked it in to high rates instead of the low rates I had set, which felt better, I was still expecting a little more though, a little faster turns or faster rolls, and for some reason it felt a little lacking in power, I don't know why, I have read on the Internet that this plane will go vertical for quite some time, yet, 2 or 3 secs it was stalling.
Landing was interesting, maybe should of had a few oases at landing before the loops and rolls haha, not once did I get a landing spot on in front of me, instead, a nice off power glide into the long grass haha. Got a little cocky at the end, with throwing the thing around the sky, lost orientation, but saved it... Just... It hit the ground but not very hard as managed to pull the nose round from going in vertically lol.
I wonder if the lack of power would be due to the 20c packs, does it require more than this? Or would have been down to the windy conditions? Anyway, this one came back in one piece, to fly another day :D
