Good evening to all-
Just got back from a quick little trip to the flying field with the Spitfire microwarbird. Took off, flew well, and then made a perfect landing. A very nice way to wind up the day.
And even more pleasing because yesterday i spent the whole flying day doing touch and goes with all of my little planes. I learned a lot from concentrating on the proper way to bring little rc planes in. First, i learned that some microwarbirds- the FW-190 to be accurate- just are very hard to land- in any conditions. There are other little warbirds- the T-28, the Japanese Zeros and the Spitfire, that are great little planes to land.
I feel that my time spent working on the basic set up for landing on the pavement was time well spent- at least, judging from my flight and landing this evening.
But I don't think any amount of practice is going to make that FW-190 a good lander, just ain't in it, I'd say.
you all be safe and keep well- Ed
