Tried to fly the durafly (shown above) today, and made a bit of an error, i set the control horns to max throw, and with such large control surfaces it was VERY twitchy, 2-mm on the stick and it was barrel rolling!
Broke a prop on "landing" (if you can call it that!), so feeling a bit stupid, it lifted off so serenely I just didn't think the controls would be so twitchy!
Still, new props on order, and will have another go as the cricketers have nicely mown my runway for me take offs should be much easier. I think flying at 3 cell should be fine, it seems to have adequate performance.
Just ordered a load of foam board to try some of the quick build flite test stuff.
Going to start with a Spitfire.
Not got my me163 flying yet, weather is just not playing ball yet. Not sure flying such a dynamic model in high winds is a good idea for a maiden flight!
Where have you bought the foam from? I want to try similar. Will be interesting to know your thoughts on it for building the FT plans (assuming you are).
I've got a nitro powered trainer that I flew briefly as a teenager years back, been meaning to learn to fly it again but I'm thinking of starting off with a cheaper/disposable plane as the trainer isn't really suited for heavy landings.
What's out there that you can put some servos etc in and have a bit of fun with without worrying about cost?
Our garden backs onto a farm so a quick word with the farmer should be enough for me to have a bit of airspace.
