Flight Log 06.25.08

Used up both my batteries this morning, for the E-flite Enticement, at The Duck Pond. Got there about 7:40am and there was no wind...maybe a slight breeze.

I started with my big'ol FlightPower 1500mAh LIPO, then finished my morning flights with the lighter 910mAh ThunderPower.

The plane flies great with either battery, but you can really notice how nimble the Enticement is with the appropraitely sized ThunderPower LIPO.

The batteries were all spent about 40 minutes later and that's also when the breeze started to pick up, so great timing I guess :)

Build\Maintenance Tip: So far, the damage to the Enticement, besides my stupid goof of busting a wing :), has mostly been around where the landing gear cross through the fueselage -- this area should be strengthed with tape etc. before flying. Maybe it's because I fly my indoor Enticement outside and land on turf...but the landing force gradually wears at the foam in this area and it starts to crack. So, you might as well tape it before it cracks.
