Enjoyed the videos, thanks for posting them. # 7 is my favorite also.

Nice... that was fun to watch. #7 was cool, and they did a heck of a job flying some of those in the wind we had yesterday.

where did they get the real f14 in the background?

[bill34207]

Thanks guys. Good question on the Tomcat Ron.
The event was geld on the back side of Lakeland Linder airport so I'm guessing it might be the airports?
I saw a real L-39 take off from there too. Didn't shoot video as he was waaayyy over there. I think there is one photo of it in video 1 though.

The Tomcat belongs to the the Florida Air Museum located on the airport's property.

After a month of inactivity with our club a few of us made it to Ackerman today. Most of our course markers have disappeared and there was only one left. Summer is definitely here and it gets hot pretty early in the day. I think we'd all had all we could handle by about 11:30 this morning.
Only a couple of vids today.


A clip of Dave with his Titan running with Rich and his Spartan.

Here's my newly finished AM Avenger on it's 2nd run of the day. Thanks Dave for running camera. Still have some work to do on this one. It's pulling way more amps than I expected for a Neu 2215/1Y

Bill, where is your strut set on your avenger? Is it the 36"?

Bill, where is your strut set on your avenger? Is it the 36"?

Today it was at 1/4" above the sponson bottoms. Next outing it will be at 3/8". It is the 36" version. There's a short 2 page build thread for it over on RCG http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1868901

[Heaving Earth]

I was gonna say, it looks like its a bit low based on the sounds it's making.

A handful of us went to Ackerman today and the weather seemed to cooperate pretty for the most part. The rains held off until we were done and the water was even nice and slick for a change.


1st up is Chris with his Mean Machine twin on a 5s GPS run. some footage of Scott's 4s Cheetah twin as well

More testing with the Avenger cat. Drive line set at 3/8" above sponson bottoms. Octura X452 detongued prop. Good speed but the ESC thermaled after 5 laps.

A little footage of Scott's 4s Cheetah twin. I just caught the end of the run though.

[bill34207]

No changes to settings of the 1st run but tried a little more pitch with less diameter. No thermal this time but lost about 12 mph.
