Default RE: Multiplex Easy Star, construction, flight report

Here is a first

Well for me anyhow[X(][X(] Forget about birds chasing your RC planes because today I had a grey kangaroo chasing mine and not once but twice

The first time was when coming in to land the ES and gliding in from approx 150 m out as the plane got down to about 1m from the ground a grey roo that was 25m away to the right started hopping up behind the ES and as it came into land (near our table) the roo turned away and hopped back down to the long grass.

3 flights later and running down my last battery the roo's had moved out onto the short grass and while practicing some low level flying "Skippy" decided that thing in the sky had to go and chased the ES (running approx 15% throtle)backwards and fowards in front of us, I was laughing so hard I nearly landed but up'ed the throtle and the roo got within feet of the ES but when I brought it in towards our table he gave up and headed off around the next hill.

Cheers Lawrence
