Rob,
its a blast, especially after going to fly at the RC field and ME being the one who is the rookie.
The E-trainer flies really well for its purpose. Actually I think I could fly combat with it. the first flight was a bit touchy so we talked about some things to mellow it down a bit. Actually flies really well around neutral, just when you input corner it JUMPS. All in all, for a trainer/stunt experimental plane, she does really well. plenty of power.
Have to say, thats one of the really nice things about teaching an accomplished modeler CL, They understand bench trim, balance and alignment.
It should be said too, when I launched Rob, I inadvertently programed in the timer for 3 minutes instead of 2, Had I only held the button for TWO bleeps, instead of THREE Rob probably would have survived the first flight in tact,,
It was also fun that his son Zach was there to watch the festivities, lol I promise Rob, he wasnt laughing at you,, no really,,
Zach flies RC VERY well, well enough to make us old duffers want to put our planes back in the car.
Its also been really good for me to have Rob to pester about electric setups and components. His knowledge has really helped me to get my new stunter planned.
Keep your eyes open for the debut of the ~Electrajet~ coming to a contest near you soon,,
and Rob, the real reason I made you take the Ukey home last year was because I didnt want to clean up the spent castor,, lol,, so now you know the REST of the story,,
Ya done good man,, now, about getting my RC Sukhoi back in the air again?
Congrats my friend, now, go practice, I expect you to be ready to fly the begginer pattern later this fall , contests coming
