System testing and engine run-ups
With the weather in Atlanta reaching the mid-40s today, it was time to get the Flea fleet out for some system testing and engine run-ups in the back yard (hopefully the neighbors didn’t mind). Installed new flight pack batteries and checked the airframes to make sure they are flightworthy.
Haven’t flown some of the fleet for a while and plan to get them all out to field for some flying this year. The larger of the two has an OS 25 and was designed and built in 1976. The small one was built in the early 80s and is powered with an OS 10. The fiberglass fuselage was done by Tony Howard and is the second in the 10 size series. Both still fly great!
