Biplane day - Testing a bigger battery in the UMX WACO and an Antonov AN-2 keeps us company

I like the E-flite UMX WACO a lot, but I heard many say it needs more weight up front, easily solved with a bigger battery.
I have to say, it feels a bit better in the air and it did help with landing.
As a bonus I had an Antonov AN-2 flying in the distance, so I could pretend we're doing a biplane formation flight 😃

Seems like any slight changes makes for a new learning curve. So different from crawlers. Just a slight change like putting the battery forward can make a change difference experience cool

If you think about it it's not that different from what some do with crawlers, adding weight down low for more stability, or race RC cars with different configurations for different surfaces like rear or mid motor. That's the beauty of RC, so many aspects you can learn and tweak. Thanks for watching!

Really nice flight, Alex... and the Antonov soundtrack was sort-of authentic for your WACO, too!

@A.M.-RC 6 дней назад

Thank you Gina! I see that Antonov flying around all the time, it's nice to have as a backdrop 😄

Well done, Alex! The take off was a bit scary. Good landing. 👍🏻🙂 Beautiful plane.

Thanks, lucky it has enough power to STOL 😄

Great flight. Such a cool plane. I'll have to give the 450 a shot. Ground handling has been the biggest challenge so far. Mine is all over the parking lot at the church. Looks like it's not just me.

Gotta love yellow and black. Yeah, that tiny wheel is all over the place, it's not the only one with this issue but it's by far the worst of my tail draggers. But the landing felt a lot better.
