Another magic day at my favoured flying field with my 8S hotted up foamy.

What a difference a day makes! Yesterday flying at the beach in shorts (vid.) and today there are snow blizzards all over the country! Enjoy.

How funny, F-4 sunbathing...

jofro

You are so funny it is almost laughable, did you ever fly EDF at the beach? It's magic.

Understandable considering the packed sand near the water would make a very smooth runway.

Hard to find more spectacular flying site like this, it's like a magnet.

Jofro--I'm new to jets. Which jet is this beautiful red one?

jofro

"HABU" by Eflite, 80mm/6S powered model I got for a song after member passed away couple years ago. Added wing tips is my own mod.

BevoHoward

Thanks! The dihedral at the tips confused me.

What set up are you using in the F4?

jofro

F- 4 runs on 8S/4000, 90mm fan.

Just fitted in new power set up giving me 1/1 power to weight on 8S. 12blader on 1400kv. Short flight today in very hot and windy conditions. Not much fun but living beach lifestyle you can't be too picky. (latest action, vid.)

The worse landing with my Phantom over the years flying in miserable windy conditions. It's easy to take off but another story to bring it back! Enjoy the gale.

Fantom on the perfect dead calm day.

Flying it in dead calm today it's a different story, magic!.

Joseph Frost

Good old Fantom still zooming nicely on 8S after all these years, yesty footage. (Fantom day at field)

Joseph Frost

My favored pass time, playing in the sand pit.


Zooooming along.
In the "Fantom" mood today, rather pleasant day at the beach.

Latest FAS.

Result of the minor carelessness last week at my home club, after hot landing in dead calm trying to avoid finishing in the creek, applied power bit too late to go around resulting in a nasty stall!
Luckily no structural damage beside the the whole front section ending in the bits, taking all the stress of the nose impact.
After 2nd. thought I decided to fix it. (Fantom T/off at Coffs)-vid. cam run out of juice after recording 5 earlier flights, bugger!

Result of the bad decision at wrong time!


The new base in place.


Rather time consuming exercise, 20h. so far, 20 to go!

From this to -


-this, after few days of crap weather, only minor colour change.
Few days of crap weather and my good old "Fantom" is ready for more action.

My days flying fleet.
Back in the air on nice winters day.
