RE: The Badius Owners Club

Hi GF
Elevator throw is about 1" with a bit more on the up side than the down. The more I think about it, the more I think it was my poor flying skills.[:o] Hopefully I'll have a flight report to...

RE: The Badius Owners Club

Phil
Thanks for the tips. The plane is just very sensitive to any input. The control horns are set in their least sensitive settings and the balance seems Ok. I guess it could be that the plane...

RE: The Badius Owners Club

Hi Ken

Great flight report. Hope you manage to get the tree-bound plane back.

A question for all you aeronautical engineers. I have an Art-Tech Cessna 182 which I bought last year whilst...

Thanks for the links and info on battery packs. The twin pack offer looks like a very good deal at $19.99. Shipping cost to NZ is $22! Overall, that still sounds very cheap. That equates to...

RE: The Badius Owners Club

Ken - thanks for that advice. I already have an NZ$1 coin taped to the underside - I'll add another. I seem to remember someone said that the badius likes to fly heavy.

RE: The Badius Owners Club

Hi All
I flew some training flights with the Badius yesterday and it was just a little bit too windy - it certainly hovers nicely into a head wind. Caught a couple of big gusts and ended in a hard...

Hi Gunfighter

Glad you managed to load the video. The flying site is about 400m (1300ft) above sea level.

Nice one Carl

I've been clicking on the link in Roger's profile and wondered why it didn't take me somewhere.

RE: The Badius Owners Club

Hi Gunfighter - Gilmour's new album is pretty good from the clips I've listened to on iTunes. It has the same feel of some of the stuff they (PF) did back in the sixties. It also has quite a few...

Hey Gunfighter
I'm also a Pink Floyd fan - did you take a look at this video, I think I may have pre-empted your suggestion about the track "Learning to Fly"

The wind that day (last Saturday) was blowing at about 30-40mph and the updraft was excellent. 60 yards or so to each side of the place we were standing, the air was pretty turbulent and...

Thanks for the detailed explanation. The benefit of a smoother running motor and longer flight times is appealing - I'll get on to it later tonight.

Meanwhile, here's the other vid I've put together. A little taste of how the CS Eraser flys.

Thanks for the kind comments. Doug, the park where I fly is especially good for a beginner like me because most of the time it's deserted. Like you I hate to have an audience -...

I know you all like to see videos, so here's my first contribution. The file size is a bit bulky as I can't export in .wmv format, so it'll probably take a few minutes to load -...
