RE: Flying on the wing… A dying skill?
I prefer to fly on the wing with my 4* 120 rather than fly on the engine. (st 3000 turning 7600 witha 20x8). At an 80 inch wing that is incredibly wide, I am scared that if I fly the motor the wing will snap. I have seen this huge wing flap in the air under heavy winds. My flights consist of throttle bursts after turns (a quick BRAAAAP! BRAAAP! and thats all) and long idles until it comes time to turn again. The engine is only used in hovers and huge loops. Long live the wing!
