Yes, new stuff (sorta)

Wait, there was some new stuff to post today.  Well sorta.

I was able to hook my laptop with FMS to my big screen TV (38")!  That was a lot of fun and a lot better than the puny 15" display.

Well, it didn't photograph very well, but you get the idea.  I think I was flying around the island scenery selection.

So much for the FMS update.

There is some construction going on at my work and I noticed that they are using the blue Styrofoam insulation.

I hear this is great stuff to use to repair foam planes so I hunted around and found a scrap piece.

Now I'm not exactly hoping to use it, but if I need it, I have it.

More to come.  I still need to attach my rudder and elevator to the tail of my plane and resolve the issue of my rudder moving more to one side than the other.  So keep posted.

Thanks for stopping by my blog and please post comments, good or bad.  Be sure to come back and check for future posts.

Old stuff

Nothing new to post right now so I thought I would post pictures of my older plane.

This is a very interesting plane in that it has a 4 channel controller; rudder, elevator, speed control (3 speed) and bomb drop/camera control!  Yes, it actually came with a small key-chain camera with a shutter control that can be plugged into the receiver.

This plane is not very easy to control as it is not digital proportional at all. The servos just bang one way or the other, full lock.

The NmMH battery does not hold a good charge any more so flying time is very short and it does not have the power to carry the camera.

Well it was fun and as you can see, no serious damage even though there has never been a planned landing.
