that beautiful westerly aspect has 'Australia' written all over it. As Banjo Paterson wrote, 'And he sees the vision splendid, of the sunlit plains extended (and at night the wond'rous glory of the ever lasting stars" - Clancy of the Overflow 1889)
Beautiful! And you have luxury air for slope soaring over there. Graceful and majestic, this one has great presence in the air.. Well worth the wait! 🌟👍
thats just awesome.....i truly wish i had of been there on that day as the most impresssive thing about this was the ability to bring that badboy into a highspeed landing....i fly my asw 28 model on a small hill where i learnt about thermal flight an aerobatics. but one thing im sure of is that bringing them into land was much harder to learn on a windy hill then compared to landing on a cricket oval. but the difference between my slope soaring to yours was the speed factor.....impressive mate;)
Thanks Daniel. You just have to ride it in! A lot of the spectators though I was going to abort and go around again but It was going to make it stick! It was a 10 day event so I had quite a few practice runs with a 2.6M DG-1000 in the landing zone. It came in a good deal quicker but behaved much the same otherwise. Here is another impressive landing in the same place with a model with a much higher wing loading: vimeo.com/6811755
What a plane, you did a wonderful job and should be very proud of yourself. I presume it was scary the first time flying this after all that work. I enjoyed it very much. Bram
I'm actually holding off on the next one, as I have made 3 since the Skyknight and the HFB-320 www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?2535102-1-9th-Scale-PSS-HFB-320-(Hansa-Jet)-Scratch-Build still needs a maiden. The B-45 is an interesting one but whenever I see B-45 I see the B-47 in my mind and skip over it :)
Dreadfully sorry Steve that the basic camera that was used didn't have a zoom function. Here is another video of the same fight. A much fancier camera was used! Perhaps this will be more to your liking ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fT6X0rX9gS4.html
Très beau site de vol. Maintenant le vol de cet avion ne présente aucun intérêt. Même pour un premier vol, on teste au minimum le tonneau et la boucle.
