Flyzone Albatross - my first plane!
Well I had eyeballed this and the Fokker DR1 for a few weeks now and now I own the Albatross!!!
As my first plane I had to learn the hard way on how to fly but I figured since it is a bi-Wing airplane the lift should be good and fairly slow moving, which is correct but man can this thing turn on the dime!!!
I got this little plane to do a Loop twice in a row without it flying apart or crashing!!!
I have learned a few things with making repairs to these micro flyers as well, tape on the wing joints to stiffen up the wing and around the horns for the flap since I notice a crease forming.. so now I am ready for the Fokker DR1..
Mean while I decided to grab two larger jets for when I get more time under my belt
GWS ME-262 and the Phase 3 U-2 :-)
more later!!
