12 days till i should be able to post in my own post again boys.

I took my extra 260 and parkjet out for a flight this morning. Had a couple of great flights on each. I really need to work on my landings still. This is the part I hate the most and start getting really nervous as she comes in.

I still love my 260 but its fairly boring. This bird really needs a bigger rudder. With the hxt900 servo on the rudder I dont get much control at all. Im thinking I might replace the rudder servo with something stronger and with more travel. When im taking off on the ground the hxt900 doesnt have enough grunt to move the steerable tail wheel around.

Do you guys know of any stronger servos that are about the same size as a hxt900? and have more travel?

I think if i had more rudder control on the extra 260 then it would be a much better plane to fly. I also need to make my landing gear on it a little stiffer and stronger.

I think I have found the perfect sweet spot to place the lipo in the parkjet now. I have the take off's sussed now and there a breeze. This bird flies fairly fast even with a 2s. I wonder if i propped down a bit if I would gain a little more speed. Or should i prop up?

Oh yesterday morning I finally got to race my dad with our rc boats. Unfortunately in trying to get the right prop pitch I cooked yet another motor. The boat was cavatating and reving its **** off. So the motor heated up extremely hot. I think it cooks the grease inside of it and messes up the windings or something.

I did manage to get about a 5min run out of the boat with dad. I clipped him a few times and even jumped the bow of his boat. His boat is definitely quicker then mine and we cant work out why as there exactly the same.

Anyways this time we have gone all out and dad sprung for two leopard 28-60 2730kv motors. We ordered special water cooling jackets that cover the whole motor this time. We will be putting in another water inlet pipe to cool just the motor this time. We also got some auto bailers to remove the water that sneaks it.

After we rebuild the boats this time they should be indestructible. Dad loves rebuilding them and he said he doesnt care about the money as long as where having fun and spending time together then its all good.

Dad only knows two speeds, flat out and stop. HAHAHAHAHAHA

I cant wait of a flight video of the new durafly micro slick 3d. We have already seen some pics of her and some flight reports and it seems like a decent little plane. We just have to work out whats the best way to juice this little bird up.

Anyways hope your having a great weekend. Its a cracker of a day here so I might go down the beach and find some waves.
