    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I got four flights in on the QQ 300 in between health insurance errands. :) I think I got Basic 2016 memorized. No moisture here for the next ten days at least. Feels like winter is over. That's not good it's too dry out here.

    The I'm NOT going out flying thread.

    Spent the day dealing with medical bills. My son is improving and back to work part-time. Time for me to get over to that other forum because I'm going out flying tomorrow!

    Ordered my Su-26

    I should have added that Tom's baffling and an engine sticker idea might be all I need. First I want to find out how much more weight I need.

    Ordered my Su-26

    Turns out my cg is just aft of center of the wing tube. Flies OK but has a tendency to hunt up and down on the elevator on approach. I've got to get it back in the vanessa rig and figure out how I'm going to move it forward a little. With the DA50 the batteries are already at the front of the...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I have about 6 flights on my Yak. I don't mind flying it. My landings are another issue. Our field is primitive and our paved runways are somewhat narrow. If I don't get it right down the center line it's damage repair time. Between tearing out the gear in the rough stuff at the edge and getting...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    It's waiting for my skills to improve. I borrowed the flight batteries for the Sukhoi. The jump from the Aeroworks GT to that big Yak was a little to big for me. The plan is to practice with the Sukhoi and try again. Its funny the Sukhoi doesn't look that much smaller but the wing loading is...

    Ordered my Su-26

    OK the maiden is done! This plane flies really well. Very floaty and plenty of power. :fist_pump:Now I just have to get used to it. Made it half way through a round of Basic before my ADD kicked in. :do_not_know:

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    We were able to get the maiden done on the PAU Sukhoi! Thanks to a fellow club member Tony B. who flies in Unlimited she is trimmed out and ready for me to tear up Basic 2016. I even flew it once including takeoff and landing. It'll take some time to get used to it. It's a real floater though...

    Trailer thread - how did you finish yours off?

    Ok, lets go back to whats going on inside your trailer. Here's mine for 2016. Someday I'll fill all the holes in the floor and finish it. It works for me.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    4 flights on the QQ300 today. 10 mph and gusty. The plane just felt solid and connected. I would have been nervous to fly a built-up plane in those conditions with my skills.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Fixing the door trim on the dryer. Building RC planes has taught me a lot about repair versus replace. A little JB Weld and I hope I've saved $100.00! That's a lot of RC gasoline.

    We are lucky to have it. Kind of primitive but it gets the job done.
