Monday 20th

Well, done some fettling on my models this morning, replaced the rubber band in my Ultimate. I've a quacks appointment just after lunch then I think I'll have to force myself to go flying again, that's three days on the bounce must be summer or something

Im hopping to get out with my Raven after work so maybe see u there

Quite a good session at the field with a fairly big turnout for a Monday. Chairman Andy maidened his petrol converted Align 700, very impressive too. The wind did a 180 round the compass in the afternoon and we ended with rain.

Proper stance

It looks he is ready to dump a load ?

Was a nice day.Took my 700 out after a tank change and it was most lovely.
It's surprising how punchy Andy's 700 gasser is.
I'm not sure if it rained after I left but when I got home the heavens opened and there was a few rumbles of thunder.

I'm modelling my heli flying stance on you Barnes And I was past the dumping a load Zaid, that happened when I first started the engine, and had the throttle linkage the wrong way around... Full beans on the start, nice!

I've still got a load of setting up to do, I'm not 100% happy with the tail, need to play with the gyro and gain settings a bit, and also have a tweak of the throttle/pitch curves too. It does have a real solid feel to it in the hover though, and even with the engine still running in, I was getting about 18min hovering time on 3/4 tank of petrol....

Oh, and the rain did come Danny, I didn't hear any thunder though, I was to busy listening to BoyBarnes moan about stuff....
