Supposedly nice all day, the morning had a thick wet mist almost a steady drizzle but not really falling. But walking through it, I felt like being wet misted! That postponed our morning flying. Doug and I decided to fly at 1PM. It looked grey and like it was just after dawn but by then the wet mist was gone and it was as calm as could be. Cool but not cold. Doug really wanted to fly his 550 , and he successfully got through four packs without damage. A couple landings were rough with the tail rotor sliding into grass, dirt, or the runway berm. One was just in the ryegrass, but no damage! He even got in some forward flight back and forth parallel to the runway , never nose in to us. Gutsy guy did well.
I flew my 7HV twice and my Osiris twice. No probs. Dang Turnigy 4000 packs Must weigh all over the place because the plane behaves different in KE with almost every pack even though I place the packs at the same mark each time. Too bad the pack doesn’t go right at the CG! Fun flyer nevertheless.
