Phew! Had me worried there for a bit. Two things I would note (and you probably already know) was a little early on the throttle, and you need to lean back as soon as you’re on power. And try not to land on your windsock. ;) I know. I know. That’s 3 things. :)
haha, doesnt it always go that way. Wide open field, fixate and hit the one thing out there. Maybe line up for final approach, with a little more room and height. Thanks for the vid, you're really making that Atom work for it. Also, amazing. 2,100 views in 8 days with 23 subscribers.
Well done, mate! Welcome to the sport!You seem to look a little heavy for the atom 80, but I might be wrong. A bigger engine would shorten your run significantly, though! Around 1:41 it sounded like either something hit the prop (maybe your glider bag? Happened to me before) or your engine had a hiccup, which you should investigate (I've had a similar sound when a piston ring broke on my 2T bike). Other than that, very good for a third flight! The sky is not the limit anymore! Have fun! 🪂🪂🪂
Thanks, I’m about 220lbs. Planning on getting a bigger engine soon. Using the 80 helps me learn the basic skills. Hope to get another flight here soon.
