Maiden Flight Reports

Thanks Steve. It may make an appearance, or, I might just get one for up here too Wink This one is currently living down in Tas.

Signature overload. That list just got ridiculous. However, Funcubs are .... fun.

Wow that's a nice looking scale model.

There is just something about the B25 Mitchel !!

looks nice George.
I've been closely looking at the Black Horse Mitchell B25, very nearly hit the buy now
button just the other day.
It's only about 1600mm span but it's Balsa/ply construction and covered in Oracover.
Since I started working with Darren and his monster B17 I've gotten the big bomber bug Smile
I already have a 1600mm B24 Liberator to build.
Space to house these are fast becoming a problem for me though.

Gday George

Hope that all works out ok, Banana Hobbies have a very very bad reputation. Some of the forums I have read have comments about them that would possibly make Gazz blush.

No seriously, the issues that you had with the uber cockroach Sukhoi are minor compared to what Banana can allegedly kick out if the forum comments are to be believed.
Diabolical stuff.

Date: 31/1/13 about lunchtime
Location: Works open area
Plane: Parkzone T-28 Trojan Ultra Micro
Wind: Light but developing, occasional gusts

I have been getting a bit sick of how my weekends are disappearing without much of a chance to get my flight skills up, and there is a fair bit of open space where I work. Hence a ultra-micro that should get me a bit more comfortable.

Plane is a typical Parkzone UM - all in the box, ready to go. Came with a 1S charger for the small LiPo. Charged battery, bound, ready to go. Has optional landing gear which I decided not to attach - the grass is not up to scratch for those wheels, and belly landing should be ok.

Plane took off fine and generally flew well. Plane had issues with really wanting the nose to go up under power, but trimming generally fixed that and plane was perfect as a glider. Also suspect that the wind was making the nose lift a fair bit too.

Landings were generally fine too. Got one a bit off that put a very tiny crease in a wing, but that was a result of wingtip hitting the ground first (pilot error).

Am planning to get a few batteries for this and really work it through its paces for getting to bronze wing standard. Based on its flying today, its going to teach me a lot about the switch from 3Ch to 4Ch.
