Finnaly the wind let up enough to go out and maiden the Nasty, OK one more time on set up, 480 geared motor, jeti jes110 ESC SD RX & TX and my new 11.1 1300 lipo all I can say is lipo's ROCK, I only had mine charged to 11.80 when I hooked it up, got impaitient. made all the normal preflight checks and it was time to let her go, throttle up and off it went, strong and fast
as it turns out I don't really need any up or right trim, as quick as it took off I was having to counter it untill I got it high enough to readjust, I flew it around fairly easy getting a feel for it and gaining a little alt and then after a few circuits and having it trimmed out I tryed a couple easy moves, rolls are not as quick or clean as I expected, it won't hover but it will go vert long enough to spin it a couple times before it starts falling off to one side or the other, whats that a pieroette (spelling), OK been 5 mins bring it down and check batt, 11.38 OK back up flew around, nothing crazy just get used to it and have fun, man this thing handles good, go up running about 80" made a pieroette and as it rolled out motor cut out and I had to emergency land it, was across feild so the best I could do is try to control the fall, I didn't think to bring throttle down and reset motor anyway it lands behind a group of small trees, near the road, panic sets in because I can't tell if it landed in the road or the ditch beside the road that is 3 feet deep of water, I swear that side of the feild is a freaking plane magnet, every time I let a plane get over there it goes down. So here we go, the wife and me walking to find it, got lucky, it was hanging in a little sappling about 5" up at the edge of the trees, not a scratch on it , OK take it back check the battery, 10.79 and barely warm, OK one more quick flight, up she goes but after a couple min the motor cuts off, I glide it down and land and ck batt 9.32, now if I've got all this right that is where the ESC should have cut it out, right? 3 V per cell. If so here's the really cool part, I didn't have the LVC hooked up. in closing The Nasty is auwsome and Lipo's RULE , was a fantastic trip to the feild with one minor exception, we thought we had vid of it till we got home and went to DL and there was nothing there . maybe next time
Started getting parts for the F-15 cut out, I think I'm really gonna like this one too
