Default RE: Slinger/Brushless/dweller

I originally had a smaller diameter brushless and had to shim the motor mount to make it fit. I think this is where the thrust angle changed. I have since put in the Kontronic set up and it is fine. I flew it yesterday in 15-20mph winds. I couldn't wait any more. We haven't had the best weather here in Boston lately either. Needless to say we had a few gravitational casualties.

The wing did fly well considering, but was more nerve racking than fun so it was a quick couple of flights. The brushless motor seemed very fast but the wind and the small field we were on kept the flight pretty conservative.
I tried to do a light roll but it seemed to not want to stay on it's axis with dead left or right stick. I will mess around more when conditions allow.

I pancaked my GWS E-starter and blew out the rear gear and rudder. While my friend left behind a sobering debris field of Formosa Flakes.

The wing can definately stand up to the wind but you just can't fight Mother Nature.
