I had flying weather again this mourning so i took the UB out for a nice mourning fly. The motor was cutting in and out so i think it might be time for a different esc. It flew ok at a lower speed but when i opened up above half throttle she ran sorta eradic.

Hi there,
Im in the Uk and its been sending bucket loads down last couple of days. Any how, just took delivery of my 2nd hand Multiplex Micro Jet - has a Align 2700kv. Went out twice this morning and wow does this thing go fast!!! I need to get some sun glasses as I couldn't take my eyes off it and they were streaming because of the Sun. Any how, just waiting for the Batts to recharge and go again, hopefully rain will stay at bay. Happy flying people. Cheers Steve |

Just got back. Didn't take any planes. Now where to fly them anyway. We were in the bottom of the mountains in a state park. It was a great weekend with just me and the Little Man though.

Well this mourning is another good one for flying so i put the UB up again for a batt. and had a nice flight in the mourning sun. Nothing fancy just cruised her around in circles and fig. 8s up above the Jackpines then made a nice landing and took her back in the house to charge up the Batt. Cool this mourning 40deg. but no wind.

Why not go fly while you wait?
Fun fly at our club field this weekend, and it is supposed to be beautiful. Just hope the winds are cooperative. |

lol then i stripped the main gear out of the gear box... but that was easily fixed by simply replacing the whole motor with my e-flite park 400.. she isnt as fast as before, but she flies!

It's been raining all morning here, but no worries, since I am working today. LOL
Tomorrow for our club's Fun Fly, forecasted to be sunny, 85, and winds 5-10MPH. Sounds like a great forecast to me! |
