Flew both planes in pretty ideal conditions today, except for it starting to get hot! My first short hop with the AW Ultimate was a little hairy when the top right aileron came unplugged, most likely due to my failure to plug it in really tightly. While in flight the plane rolled hard to the left momentarily a couple times, as the plug became looser and made intermittent contact. I landed safely in the sod farm, taxied back, and found the plug still in, but loosely, so I pushed it to its full depth and the aileron behaved properly all day. The DLE-55 started and ran like clockwork. I improved my landings today by coming in with more throttle and not so floaty. The plane flew very well, and I probably had my best day ever at hovering it up high, and doing some harrier rolls. Also ran through my usual pattern style aerobatics and felt good about it. Flew the Star with two of the new Turnigy packs and they seem fine...a little more spunky but heavier than the older Hobby People packs.
