Flight Log 08.12.08

OK, this morning I remembered the transmitter for my Enticement...Yeah! Got to the Duck Pond around 7:30 am and the breeze was already starting to pick up...but, I went for it anyway.

Despite the breeze, the light indoor plane had a great flight. The breeze helped me perform some really slow flight and hovering practically still as I flew into the wind and then as I turned the plane to fly with the wind, a great rush of speed as the thin film cut through the morning air.

Flight Log 08.11.08

Flew the Super Cub this morning at the Duck Pond...Wow, how long has it been! Un-shockingly, the cub flew perfectly -- it's such a fun plane!!

I think my battery pack is starting to show its age...but, I still got a great flight out of the plane.

I completely prepared my LIPO batteries for the e-Flite Enticement, and also put the DX6i on the charger...then, I totally left the DX6i at home, so I had no controller to fly THE ENTICEMENT :(

Oh well, there's always tomorrow.

Flight Log 07.22.08

Flew the Enticement this evening. The winds were calm, finally!, and we live near a strip of land that has power lines running through it. It has a walkway, trees, and park toys for kids. I've never flown the Enticement there and I thought -- why not. I could at least find out of the power lines effect the Spektrum DX6i radio.

I was pleasantly surprised that the power lines seemed to have no effect. It was also fun to fly around more obstacles -- I think that really hones your skills in depth perception. At one point I flew between, behind, and back around a clump of trees and never lost control -- that was cool...wish I had video of that.

Flight Log 07.15.08

Finally I got up early enough this morning to fly the Enticement. Made it to The Duck Pond (See side bar) by about &:15am and there was plenty of sunshine, few clouds, and most importantly...no wind.

Flew for about 10 min...and loved every one of them -- I felt a little rusty, but I did fine. My buddy David was there, flying already, so good times all around.

Product Announcements from Hobby Zone

The E-flite T-34 Mentor PTS was just released and it is the most advanced RTF electric we have yet seen. With a flying weight of about 5 lbs, it has a real balsa covered airframe, built and complete with everything you need to get into the new generation of RC airplanes. If you are flying park flyers and wish to move to a larger plane, or a nitro pilot and want to try electric, this is a new option you should check out.

We have been flying the recently released ParkZone Vapor around our warehouse and it is a riot. It is tiny, but has enough power to climb straight up after bouncing off a wall or hitting a breeze, and the control surfaces are huge for the size of the plane. Definitely a recommended buy and can be flown in spaces much smaller than our warehouse. Comes in RTF and Bind N Fly versions.

For our heli pilots, E-flite has released the Plug and Play version of the Blade 400. Also, check out the aluminum hop ups for the Blade 400 which we expect to have in stock within the next month.
