It was sunny and warm, only two of us turned up. We had to take our coats off, windier today and cooler, 3 flyers only, I did spend 4hours there.

I had some good flying today, just incase you don't follow the who's been flying thread, 2 screen shots of my 110 today.

Managed some screen shots, one very low pass

Only two at the field today, we had to take our coats off it was so warm. Flew the foam Wot4 and a little Me109e then the new Warbirds Replicas Me110, I am happy now to fly it on a single 3s 5000 a 6 minutes flight left 35% in the battery, not a great video as it was done on my mobile phone. Sorry file too big for the video

Hi Declan, Yes 1 3s battery in the nose, I need to do further testing before deciding, it balances with that set up so a 6s would have to move back quite a bit you would have to make sure the esc's were for 6s and if using the motors supplied by Richard I am not sure if they would be suitable for 6s as the props would have to be quite small, I use 12x6 on 4s so probably a max of 10x5 and at that it would be screaming, I am no expert on electric set ups I use an Astro flight watt meter to get a rough idea of my set ups.

My son bought it for me, I think from Ali express, he said it was about £25. It is mode 2 whereas I fly mode 1. After closing the throttle whilst going for up elevator, I mentally glued my left thumb to the side of the tranny, after that I managed quite well.

Thanks Ron, If its as cold down there as it is here I don't blame you

Just over 10b Chris

I had the Maiden flight today taking off on the frozen snow, all went well, I flew it on a 3s 5000, 14x7 APC props, weight just over 10lb, 75% left after approx 3 minutes. It flew at about scale speed, it could do with a little more power in reserve. I will see what it is like with a little more wind before making any changes. I need to cut some more from the nacelles as one leg didn't retract fully. I belly landed it on the snow, no problem

Blue sky, no wind Messerschmitt day flew two 109's, bent my Wot4 putting up in 6ft off the ground inverted. Thought I would see what my Warbirds 110 would be like with a single 3s 5000 battery up front just a taxi to get a feel of the power. 2nd taxi up the strip and off it went, one leg didn't retract fully, after a few circuits I decided to belly land on the snow. The timer didn't work so I guessed about 3 mins flight there was 75% left in the battery. As I was on my own no flying photos. Pity as Mark who had his head cam had gone earlier.

Due to frozen snow on the field it looks like a while before the test flight so I done some more painting. It's too cold to do a Richard and fly it in the nude. The teeth were cut from matt white vinyl, I have to make the exhausts, next job. Then sort the spinners out as the current ones are too small

Ready for a test flight, Still plenty to do, if it works with a single battery in the nose I will fix the nacelles permanently, if not I will have to cut them for the hatches.

How are we expected to remember the rules when most of us can't remember what we went upstairs for😄

I thought that when I saw the original green on your 110 🙂

Missed the blue and red Ron🙂
