Nice ski run Steve.
Was that using the key ring camera?
Not bad if it was.
Weather today in Sydney was great for flying.
Unfortunately Kieran (flying Darren's T28 ) and Kev (flying his T28) got a little too close
and had quite a spectacular mid-air collision.
Both planes were extensively damaged. I have Kev's trojan here at home and I've managed to
reassemble the fuselage and wing but it looks like the motor and motor mount are cactus... :roll:
The motor runs but there is a strong burning smell and the shaft/prop are both bent.
On a lighter note, both Kev and myself got our bronze wings today so we were both very happy until
the disaster occured.
My Electrafun is now flying great, increased control surfaces and ailerons both made a big difference but
I also added 100grm weight to the nose of the EF and I think that made the biggest difference.
As I did not want to put multiple lead sinkers into the nose I found an old large socket from a long unused
socket set that just happened to weight 100gms.
Enjoy the snow, see you next week.
