Some pics of the day at the park with the GWS Estarter and the TREX. It was too windy for anything else. Jacki got her first maiden in and made about 3 circuits, then landed like she had been flying all her life. She then took off again and flew a couple more loops with another perfect landing. I then rassled the TX out of her hand and was able to fly awkwardly yet make a graceful landing as the wind had really picked up. Her last flight ended in a heap from about 30 ft up and a awesome nosedive directly into the ground. Broke the prop and pulled the landing gear out of the fuselage and broke some bits off the wing.
I then flew the TREX for about 9 minutes and about lost it, the thing got caught in a gust and came straight at me. I ducked and it went over my head about 5 ft above me and was heading for a grass knoll right behind me. I managed to give it plenty of throttle and collective and just missed the hill by a few feet. It took about a full minute to get it back to where I had control and spent the rest of the time hovoring..........heh.
We got some vid with my camera but its in .mov format (QuickTime) and I can't find a converter on the net to change the format to .mpeg so I can upload them to either here or Youtube. anyone know of a free converting program out there?
