Another Super Cub Day!

I got up at 6:30 this morning...really tough for me :)...And, I made it to the Duck Pond (See my favorite places to fly links on the right) by 7:03.

There was a slight breeze and in the mid 50's to low 60's F. I was in the last few minutes of my LIPO when my buddy David drove up. He brought his Blade 400 3D...which was pretty cool, I haven't seen one of them fly yet except for in videos online.

I have no pictures or video...but it was a fun hour.

I finally fly something this year

Saturday July 4th...me and a couple of my boys took the HobbyZone Super Cub to our local elementary school (see the "Elementary School Field 1" link in the right Nav area) and flew it with my Blade CP's LIPO...my standard battery for this plane now, gives it great kick.

I've had this Super Cub since September of 2007...almost two years now! I've busted props, broke the whole tail section off, burned out probably three receivers :) And...this has been the BEST plane ever so far. It's just pure fun.

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.

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.

Flight Log 05.31.08

Flew the Enticement and the Super Cub this morning at the Duck Pond. Here's some on-board video I took with the Enticement and my Cobra DMC300 5-n-1 camera:

Flight Log 05.23.08

Flew the Enticement this morning. This makes flight number 2. I repaired the minor damage I did to it the other morning with a little CA and some spare foam. Everything worked great...next flight will need to have some video shot, so I can prove it's truly flying :)

I also flew the good'ol Super Cub. Had a very pleasant flight, as always, with it too.

All this went down at the duck pond area. There was a slight breeze, but not enough to move the windsock...and it was cool and overcast -- just a great morning!
