ecoliburger -> Q40 successful first flight (2/12/2008 2:12:44 AM)
|
Just wanted to thank all the guys that answered my inane questions over the last few months.
Finally got to fly my q40 today, successfully! Actually second time I have flown it but the first time I bounced it on take off and it busted the prop and almost piled it.
Had a guy help me launch it today, everything went great. Man these things are memorizing when they are going that fast. Landing went ok, not perfect but no damage, guess thats what counts. I was surprised at how far it would glide. Also the carb is pretty much useless, I was able to trim it out at full speed anyway. Just kept it real high until I got it trimmed. Hopefully I will get a fair amount of flights before it crashes. The field I fly at has a fence right about where you need to be to make the runway. So you have to clear it by about a foot.
