COX TeeDee09 RC in flight with the Cosmic Wind

I decided to shake up my early autumn, sunny afternoon with some outlaw flight and even more outlaw on-board video, so I took my good ole - avatar - Cosmic Wind to the field.




A keychain camera fixed to its right wing - with a coin fixed on the left wing tip for balance -  shot the event. A bit overpropped with a APC 7x5 prop, and its SPI cylinder power-killed by a muffler - whose function is more to control goo than muffle the noise -, the TeeDee09 pulled the plane with authority, thanks to the Kamtechnik turbo head too.. I noted mid-air the carb was set a bit to the lean side therefore decided to carry on with a halfway throttled RC carb so as to feed the engine with sufficient booze (60/20/20 full castor) to prevent excessive wear.

The 6 minute flight ended with a smooth landing in tall grass...I removed the landing gear before the flight.

I am not sure why but the sound is out of synch in the youtube video...
