Beautiful sky! Too cold here to fly.

Happy New Year!

Our club had its frosty fingers flyin on New Years Day. Let’s just say for someone in the south it was definitely cold and the fingers were frosty!

I had forgotten all about it when a friend reminded me. I was lazy and didn’t take anything to fly, just drove out to watch the others.

I was fortunate to fly a friend’s Muscle Bipe. This thing was awesome!!!

Took the TA Horizons Stol X out for its maiden flight along with my pocket radio on ELRS. Everything went great. The plane flies quite slow with flaperons, 2S won’t let it 3D much, so might try 3S. I’ve been chasing my kids around the parked car in the driveway with ease to give you an idea.
Radio feels great. Still getting used to the programming. The menu isn’t very intuitive to me so it’ll take some getting used to how it operates.

Spectacular day for flying. Not hot, not cold, not cool, not warm, no wind and partly cloudy. I had to start worrying about battery usage I flew so much. Here’s my regular flier waiting for another flight.

Good problem to have running out of battery power means you are having to much fun.

That plane uses about 250-300 mAh per flight on each of the 2 - 5200mAh main batteries so I guess I could fly 10+ flights before I start to worry.
The ignition battery is 2600(?) mAh.

Once it takes hold, I think you will find the EdgeTX very capable and can do anything you can image.
