Default RE: Impact

Took the"Brothers" out yesterday and flew them six times alternately to try and achieve the goal of having two planes that fly exactly the same. I had to be careful with the selction of model in the radio each time. I have them named IMPACT red and IMPACT yellow to go with their rudders, which helps.

I think that it is fair to say that they are close! I wanted to see if molded planes could come out "cookie-cutter" style and fly the same. The next time I go out I will fly three lights on one and then 3 on the other and see how it shapes up. It is definitely a lot of work and I have a much deeper respect for FAI worlds-contestants since I tried doing this for myself.

Here some views of them together on a sunny South Jersey day in MAy...

Regards,

Eric.
