Parramatta Radio Control Aircraft Club

A bit of video of Stephen's bipe flying yesterday

I maidened the Decathlon after it's last major repair and it flew sorta ok. I was playing with the flaps at altitude and had just turned them off to accelerate to normal cruising speed when it resumed it's favourite position - the spin. During (over) correction, the rudder broke off either due to stress or impact and then bits progressivley fell apart from there.

Unfortuantely, the camera stopped on first ground strike and didn't get the whole story of the carnage so I've uploaded a couple of photos to go with it.

Note the 1/2 propellor at the impact site on the left of the image.

Hey Jason
Are you aware that the video footage of Steve flying his Bipe is mirror image.
Wasn't sure if you noticed
Gazz

Hmmm, I like the field that way, can we organise a working bee and flip it?

Good eyes Gary, i was just to busy watchin Stephen Flys his Plane and wishing i could do half the stuff he can do with my Typhoon 3d.
His is really good for a pylon racer.

Sorry to here and see the Pics of the Flight Report Drew, but couldn't you waited so we all could of watched the carnage LIVE. .

No flies on you Gazz,
I didn't realise it was mirror it must have happined when I flipped the video to get it right side up. I foolishly took it upside down with my iphone then used pdowe director to turn it right side up and in doing so mush have flipped it some how ????

This one is the right way around

also from saturday

Random guys flying random planes....randomly.

really windy day kept a lot of folks safely on the ground.

Walk of shame!

Nice Stuff Andrew.
I Like how you edited the video looks really good, Definitely need sound for Helli next Time but the replacement sounds good though.
LOL With The Explosion wasn't expecting that.
The panning around at members and planes is a great touch well done.

Steve

Thanks guys, it was fun. I'm pleased to see Kieran's funjet survived the "fire".

Nice one loved the explosion, I liked the way you edited it all together as well!!

Well done

Thanks Jason. I think I have made a rod for my own back though.

I had to post this.....I just HAD to.

That's a classic !!
Ya gotta love that

Jason

Ah bluddy hell - I've got tears in my eyes now ... "Only at PRCAC!"

Where's the Benney Hill music?

You have seriously gotta send that to Australias Funniest Videos, I will put money on it that it gets shown and if they play your video on air you get $500
Gazz

So funny,
You guys seem to have all the fun on the days
I can't make it down.............
See you all in the morning.

Absolutely Love it

I just love it.
Jason, I hope you have not been scared for life.
Thanks for the tow, we nearly got there towards the end - maybe next time we will succeed.
Thanks also to Ron who generously loaned his plane to us to tug the glider along.

Cheers
Chris

Yeah I know, I have a new toy and want to play with it.

Well, here's Darren's....and it's bigger than mine.

And doing a great job with it too. Please keep 'em coming!

Very Nice darren looks Great and Powerful.
And Great Work Andrew with the Footage.

Steve

I agree the photography and editing was excellent.
And my congrats to Darren for getting the big girl very nicely sorted.

yeah its great video work mate..

love to know how many kg thrust that thing is pulling looks to be well over 8kg of thrust maybe 10-12kg? could it even be more than that? hard to say when i havent seen in real life.i look forward to seeing it next time your down their daz

Thrust is definitely up around there, Easier to hold back a Jetcat P120 at full tilt than the Porter!

No fancy editing, just an "H" rated clip thanks to Dave H.
See the text in the "Flying Report" forum.

fixed wing orphans.............
