Its been so windy this spring,hard to stay in one spot hovering. I need to get out more to practice getting lower,the sim would be nice.
Did more harrier landings but broke a prop on the last one,no other damage,barely even bent the gear,need longer gear! I've had a dozen 3 day weekends this spring and still have only had one really nice day with light winds! Definately a change from normal weather patterns. Can always fly though,just makes some things harder to do. Have to finish the Ultra RC Giles,getting close. Man,what servo mounting rails! 1/4" ply to doubled ribs made of ply-bullet proof! Hope the Giles at least keeps me at the same level,I know different planes have vastly different 3-D characteristics. Had a EF Yak that I just could not hover for more than a couple seconds,dont want to be there again. I know the set-ups are the key, but finding the right one for a plane can be tough. Almost forgot,dropping lower in a hover is probably the toughest way to get DOD,I do drop it a lot but its usually not a conscious effort on my part.
