Okay, iPad works. Report is saved on my laptop but it won't post. I'll rewrite them now since there's sod all on tv.

can any admin please help. Again I've just tried to post on my laptop with no luck as it says I don't have permissions. I also can't logout no matter what I try. I've also deleted all Internet history options but it still automatically logs me In when I come to the forum. Very weird.

i wanted to post on the laptop as I have a pic or two to add.

Flight 6 (I think)

prior to the flight there were three small holes in the top of the wing to film over. 5 minute job.This flight was on the beach again with miles of space and the ability to land anywhere. The wind was blowing about 10mph but no gusts and very consistent direction.

Ive shelved the Magnum engine for now (I will go back to it one day) and fitted the Thunder tiger 42 from my friends written off plane.

Well it was another fun day. Take offs very easy into the wind and the beach was nice and flat but a little soft. I'm still not happy about the way my plane tracks when rolling but I can counter with ruder. I'll look at this later as it always wants to go left and there is no wheel control and its all a bit boggy with the rudder.

Well my confidence is growing and once in the air I can fly it pretty much where I want it. I can make nice sharp banked turns and am now keeping the plane in front of me in squares or other patterns. I did dead stick after 5 mins but it was running too lean. Landing is no problem when you have over 30 square miles of beach to hit.

brought her down and retuned the high end needle before going back up again. Again plenty of loops and rolls. Also trying to make the rudder turns but still struggling to maintain consistent altitude and keep wings level. It's tricky balancing the 3 inputs all at once but I'll keep trying.

i think on this visit I had 3 tanks of fuel and I'd say I now have no worries about landing. Sometimes I may come in a bit hard and bounce but others I touch once and roll out and taxi back. It's all about getting that balance on the elevator and leaking off the speed.

So again to all the people who think self teaching isn't possible without hours of repairs and lots of new trainers I'd have to disagree. My only major crash was on my first take off and after that only film damage from trees and bushes. It just takes a lot of sim training and understanding the theory of flight and understanding how the plane is behaving as it flies.

The TT engine did great and tuned up well. I wish I could of stayed longer but the Mrs wanted my car to go riding her horse.

next report will be right after this.
