Flight Log 10.01.08

Flew two of my planes at lunch today...first, my e-Flite Enticement and then my little red low wing toy.

This afternoons flight with the Enticement was with my big O'l brick of a battery (at least for this light plane)...my FlightPower 1500mAh 7.4v 2s LIPO. So, the flight is a little more rocky with this battery, especially if you want to fly low and slow. But, it's still fun.

While flying the Enticement I charged up my little red low wing and then got a good 8 or so minute flight out of it. This type of plane is a fun challenge for the experienced pilot...but, probably too frustrating for the novice (its target market).

Flight Log 09.29.08

Flew my new favorite plane this evening on my way home from work. It was quite breezy, the windsock was fully extended, and this plane just loved it.

I had it doing death spins, rolls, and even a couple loops.

I'd say I got a good 8-10 flight out of it too...lot's of fun!

Flight Log 09.26.08

Got a chance to fly my Eflite Enticement at lunch today. Used a field near work -- one I haven't flown in yet! It was a great flight...I feel like I'm really understanding the "Foamy" airplane and it's flight characteristics.

Here's where I flew, click here.

Flight Log 09.22.08

On my way home from work I stopped by the Duck Pond and flew my little red low wing plane. It was a little breezy...sometimes the tiny little plane was thrown way off course...but, it always found its way back to me (well, most of the time).

While I was flying I noticed a guy and his pug flying his Align Heli -- he was very good. His heli had no idea there was a breeze...My Blade CP Pro would have crashed another horrible crash, if it were flight worthy (I stopped putting it back together after the last crash). I watched the guy burn through a couple batteries doing loops, flips, inverts etc. it was very cool!

Flight Log 09.13.08

Went flying this morning at the Duck Pond, see favorite places to fly in the right margin. This morning our church cub scouts came out for some buddy-boxing. My flying buddy Dave has the buddy-box setup with a DX6i and a JR transmitter and his Formosa top-wing trainer. The scouts flew well...at least the ones that were interested in flying, over the one's distracted by one of the kids PSP.

I can't believe that not one of brought a camera...but, it was a beautiful morning. I flew my Supercub for a good 10 minutes or so. I flew my red & yellow Chinese toy planes (The Red low-wing is totally outperforming the Yellow top-wing, I'm really enjoying every flight with it). I flew my Enticement. And, had fun flying my 2 channel toy heli from China (Click on the label "China" below to see more posts about the Chinese toys, and "Enticement" to read more about my Enticement etc.).
