It certainly was windy this afternoon, I managed to get down to the field around midday, The upgrade motor/ESC for my fun-jet arrived in the post Friday arvo so Saturday morning was spent mounting those in the air frame.
I took it down there to give it it's first flight with a couple of 1800 4s packs
many thanks to Stephen b for hand launching it for me!! and thanks also for lending me a decent prop. I'll be ordering some more shortly and I'll replace that one for you.
Well what can I say it's just a HOOT to fly it certainly is able to take up some sky
Sadly a touch and go with the motor running busted the prop and lost me the prop adapter. By the time I got back from home with a new one the everyone had left but I managed to walk down and get in another two flights. The funjet returned home with no further damage.
