James Hindle Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Well we should be enjoying some fine tranquil summer weather by now but alas the new found 'monsoon summer' seems to linger like an unwanted smell.Still there's no rain planned for tonight so we're off to our site www.nlmfc.org for some fun. hopefully I'll maiden my blizzard and my mate Steve is planning to test his 'electrified' phantom, the OPS 61 is replaced with a large unlabelled electric motor and enough lipos to power a concept car.

James Hindle Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 Well we got a fly in the 30mph winds the phantom (leicester models) was a handful as the guess on the c of g was a bit off.The blizzard on the other hand flew superbly I guess this will be one very very popular model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ashby - Moderator Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Nice shots James, the Phantom looks good. I got in a few quick flights yesterday and met up with buddy Dave Walters who was test flying his new bird model. It's an enlarged version of a Chris Golds design (I think he said) electric powered. It's still experiencing teething troubles but looked impressive non the less and a bit different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
