... and now aircraft #2. 2 weeks, 2 planes, this ain't gonna go so well for Mrs. Manfred. Actually if this keeps up, this may not go so well for me
This is an E-flite Yak 54, in micro size with a 180 motor, 18" wing span, 2.5 *ounces*, and (most importantly) AS3X stabilization. We took it out to an industrial complex with some elbow room, to test out my flying and landing skills for possible use in the back yard. Umm, well, the wind was blowing a bit, and we won't be flying this little bugger in wind for a while. And definitely not at home, until I learn to harrier-land, and when there is NO wind.
Maybe should have sprung for the Carbon Cub first, but I think I'm committed now. I did hover, but it wasn't nose-high, it was just plain ol' hovering in a head wind. I don't think I ever made it to full throttle, the plane has so much power.
