While waiting for the power units putting final touches to the frame. |
https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...7d7ce687e3.jpg
Ready for the power system. |

Mounting the power set up. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...9351c28d90.jpg Thrust tube roll out. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...1fbf1c14dc.jpg Rubber mounting of modified shrouds. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...48000b015f.jpg Test runs. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...852ebc8c68.jpg ESC programming. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...6db09bb5cf.jpg Modified power system is fully installed and static run tested after bit of messing around with various ESCs. Currently working on bell mouth intakes to be 3D printed to improve performance. |

Ready for maiden. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...40cf3e467d.jpg After 7 hand launches but only 4 flights all good. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...ab3a354aef.jpg Into the void. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...d5c94d659c.jpg In the full blast pass by. Flies much better than expected, lot faster and extremely quiet, but hand launching is another matter! Pretty tricky, it will take lot more practice to master it to perfection while doing it over the soft growth surface to start with for safety. |
https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...f8acb5e79c.jpg
Bell air intakes fit. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...de9acac543.jpg All fitted in place, ready for action. Now fitted with the 3D printed bell air intakes, to make perfect scale of the giant. |

Best self hand launch so far, slowly getting there. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...e83521d9d3.jpg Full bore fly-by. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...4c2a86b127.jpg Shallow approach land. Now fitted with the new air intakes it is hardly audible, still sorting out few things to calm it down being very sensitive to control inputs due to the micro servos, which would be a nightmare to replace for something more substantial, so in the mean time have to put up with. |
Few more flights this morn, silk smooth. Latest vid. enjoy.

Widow's working overtime, despite few scary hand launches, only thanks to my 3D flying skills gets me always out of it! The good old golf saying, the more you prax the luckier you'll get!
https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...6865fb3565.jpg Not as bad, https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...97c99e6882.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...2992aabdbf.jpg or this one! https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...02e4a94970.jpg At the beach. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...0d41b6375d.jpg Just another flying site. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...fda55a4ab0.jpg New re-designed air intakes to be fitted to get the best out of it! |

Despite few pretty scary hand launches last few days the mini "TW" is doing great, few more flights at the beach early morn before and after the sunrise.
https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...618776a4bb.jpg Back at the sand. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...6642e72c15.jpg After scary hand launch, managed to pull out of it! https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...6370a960d2.jpg Caught in action. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...11085a4798.jpg Early morning over the Pacific. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...dcc086ea17.jpg Pretty flying spot. |
Bit of recent flying action footage. 46 flights to date, the mini is working overtime.
Mini "TW" getting lot of flying attention. |
Mini "TW" got this morn the real test flying in windy conditions, easy to launch but bit of a battle in the air.

Few more flights with the "TW" today, and probably the most horrific hand launch so far, inverted launch roll tx to some X wind! Quick thump action sort it it out just in time clearing the gully by inches. Just love it!
https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...2692400829.jpg Inverted after launch! https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...154738d552.jpg |
