First Pattern Bird

1 Attachment(s)

Well, odd's are looking pretty good that I might actually make a pattern contest this year in district 6 now that I have a bird to play with. Test flights should happen this weekend as long as I don't run into equipment problems. Practice time will be scarce however with the IMAC season right on top of me.

It's Focus II, Mintor 170, 8411SA on Ail & Elev (DEPS Systems) and an 8411 on Rudder. I've still got to finish my cable management, but final weight looks to be in the 10lbs 2-4oz range.

RE: First Pattern Bird

Very nice....are you going to Waco?

That will be insane power with the 170....maybe a 6 blade prop is in order...

RE: First Pattern Bird

Yeah..that's the plan anyway. Probably try to make Temple as well, but then I'll have to quit untill after the IMAC Nats, and then I'll try to catch one or two more.

I should be metting up with Todd & BW here in a couple of weeks to practice. Should be Fun !! :-)
