Default Anxious to fly

GBond,

Last couple of times I went flying I spent the whole time trying to TR. In a 15 mph wind! Plus, I haven't been able to bring myself to fly em low. We're talking 40+ feet up. I really don't like smacking them into terra firma. Needless to say, this type of flying is very difficult.

I am building a new fun fly airplane that will be powered by a Saito 72, should weigh in at 4 1/4 lbs.

But first I need to take the next step and get it down. I have a Knife like yours on the vid with an MVVS 49. More than enough power to hover. I just need to practice flying low and hovering and stop worrying about the TR.

I much enjoy RC Universe, have read a lot of posts that have helped. It's the first site I go to when I turn on my computer.

Tom...
