It's Thursday again....

So is anyone out flying this afternoon/evening.

The Weather is currently not too bad, although the rain radar is showing some showery clouds moving upwards....

Andy

Raven is in the car ready, will be there about 6ish

M

I'll be there!
Andy, did you get the pm I sent you?

Bugger, I forgot about that Marty, will write you a nice reply now

Andy

Just had a bit of a rain shower here in St Asaph, stopped for now though

Andy

Had some rain in Mochdre about 1hr ago, cloudy but nice since!

M

Its brightened up here now too. The rain radar on the Met Office website looks ominous though....

Oh, I've got some presents for you Barnes (Junior and Senior!)

Andy

Raining very hard here now as indicated by my soaking wet shirt.

Do you not have a roof where you work? Still okay here at the moment, I wonder if Rhyl will miss the edge of the band of rain coming up from the south.....

Nah - you just got in the shower fully dressed this morning to save time!

Sadley I had to go outside to take a delivery, happily said delivery was lipo's.

Anyway clearing up here again!

M

Hi all I will be there bout 630 ish am buying dx6 from Marty mode 1 anyone about who can help me set it up with plane and stuff please
Cheers Gary

I think the rain has made it to St Asaph now, fingers crossed it clears up soon!

I'm sure somebody will be about to help Gary, I'll certainly be able to set it up for you, but you would be wise to get a mode 1 jockey to double check for you

Andy

Intresting night, heavy rain then bright hot sunshine then broken plane then rain again

M

Broken Plane ? I hope you mean broken ESC only

well yes but thats part of the plane so...... lol

I had a mixed day yesterday with a servo packing up on the Disco' (prospective buyers of "cheapy" ARTF models beware that components are probably low grade to keep costs down...). However, Tim & Andy put their heads together and come up with some creative mixes on my Binary which kept them out of trouble for a while lol. Thanks for that Chaps.
The Binary flew well in the zero wind and even flirted with some very weak ground level thermals. I love this DLG lark!

No worries Marty!

Just remember to keep your arm straight, and use the rotation to impart speed/energy tot he model, not a flick of the wrist. Aim about 5-10 degrees above the horizon, not up at 45 degrees or more, and trim the model on teh launch setting so it converts all that speed into a nice steep climb. Level off before you stall (but not too early before the stall), and don't be afraid to keep the model cruising quickly. It is more efficient when moving quite quickly, compared to slowing it right down

Andy

Gottcha!
