Hey Bob !!!!
Im sorry for your last crash, try to find another place you can go and fly in (iknow know its not that practical to search for the wright place),
you can go to my website :
www.maiochine.neptune.com and see the latest pics of my Firebird Commander witch i changed the wing after the first and last attempt to execute a looping in the professional mode !!!! last time i practiced launching parachute and some straight turns manoeuvers.
You can see in my photo album also how i placed the webcam inside the aircraft, and know im working on a new project for the FireBird Commander witch will constrain a safe drop down of the aircraft thanks to a parachut placed on the tip of the tail and could be released in case of loss of controls on medium altitude (21fts),released due at the drop module placed on the front!!!
I thought of this project after that many times during flight the winds became gathering and unsuspectable and dangerous while landing about 1ft above the ground, and so
when we loose radio control for a while and we begin runing after the aircraft trying to get it backwards ....the only way is PULL DOWN THE ENGINE STICK AND RELEASE THE EMERGENCY CHUTE.......PS: the chute will not be a gliding type, it will be oscillating type..
thats all .... hope to get some news of you guys !1!
