Re: CzarDrill - my first model for Cox

Czaro,

I'm impressed! Laughing

That was a very good flight, and the hand launch was perfect!

Agree that the control throw may be a little too much, so fix that while rebuilding that lovely airplane.

Bit too fast for me, but my reflexes are 65 years older than yours.

Actually, I no longer fly and my once rock steady hands shake enough that I don't have to stir my coffee in the morning! Very Happy

Best of luck,

Bill

Thank you Bob!

The model is fast but it will be a good training before the A6M5 Zero which I am planning to build (but not for Cox, but for OS-FS48) Very Happy

During that flight, my hands were shaking too, but from the stress Smile

hey czarobest, I see that you fly in fields where you find an alternative place, my friend András, also does the same, looking for a place where they can enjoy some healthy flights, my question is: do you have a club to attend ?, or Are you always looking for an alternative place? ... My question is because I highly value all those who make this effort to launch their model somewhere possible to fly.
Some people have a specific place to fly (club) and do not value it (they do not take care of it) they always have an excuse, which makes me wonder if they really feel the activity of model airplanes, or simply do not know what to do with their time.

There is no modeling club in my town, there is a modeling airport, but it is quite far from my house, so I have to borrow a car from my dad Razz

. Additionally, fuel in my country is expensive Razz

.
I like to fly close to my house because I can do it quickly Very Happy

. But with bigger models (which have to take off from the ground and need a good landing site) I have to go to the airport Smile

. But there it's also nice because I can find other modelers Smile

It's only a 2h drive from where you live to our airfield:

Pay us a visit one weekend. Hurry before the airfield is closed!

czarobest Fri May 15, 2020 10:22 am

I hope to go and see your models someday Very Happy

Your airfield is to be closed? Why?

Okay, I understand perfectly. I greatly appreciate the effort and energy you put there to be able to fly.
I hope you repair your model soon and have it back in flight !!. by the way what battery pack do you have on board the model? .... 7.4 volt? and mha?
Thanks for your answers and for your video.

because the sight of gliders circling in the sky was bothering the dwellers of the nearby town. I hope they like skyscrapers better, cause that's what they're getting.

This is why we can't have nice things.

What an unfortunate friend .... I can't believe that people are bothered by the gliders in the sky ... but well if that's the case, I'll never know ... that's more a matter of doing business ... skyscraper and density wails after ...
open field and open air, priceless! ...

)
BEC - HobbyKing Micro BEC 3A/5v (Switch Mode)
Receiver - FrSky RX6R + FrSky GPS module to logging speed

That's sad thing Sad
