More flight video… boring for some, but at least this time it’s pretty complete video. Mostly solved the auto-focus problems, but the camera still pretty much sucks for shooting this kind of video. It’s amazing J.Wood could pull this off as well as he did. This IS a big, SLOW target, so it’s not quite so tough to keep in view.
Had a few good flights of both the biplane, and the Telemaster. I’m finally getting my wind-legs with these gas motors, and have now had several trips with no major incident. This should be one of the last videos before we start doing some onboard telemetry and video, which should make for some more interesting vids.
Flight Video:
OK the landing is ugly, but you try to get one of these planes to glide downward with a positive attitude. They just want to keep flying, so u gotta point ‘em down. It was pretty windy, with a nasty cross-wind. It’s kindof funny, every time I landed, I couldn’t seem to convince my planes to taxi back to me easily… the wind kept pushing them away… hah.

I am just about 85% finished with a red & white version of your telemaster and would like a plan of the inner spars that you used to hold the front of the wing halves on to the plane. This combo seems awesome !! A full size side view just to give me the hook length and placement of the dihedral brace holes. Anything will be appreciated
