The “What Did You Fly Today?” Thread

[Lukedavis]

Thought I would start this thread as I am starting to get into planes and drones and we don’t have a thread like this! I flew my plane on Tuesday and crashed it pretty hard. It’s okay though as it’s a cheapo plane from Bi-Mart with differential thrust. Post down below what you flew today!

Does it consider flying if I jump the cars? Car is in the air. Stuff in the air moving is flying soooo

Got rained out today Next weekend is looking promising though.

We don't really go out in the winter for drones. Maybe in April or so.

Looks like the NTSB might be paying you a visit.

That’s a valid reason lol. My brother got his brand new drone stuck in my grandparents tree on Christmas Day. He got it for Christmas lol. Then mine flew away when we got home cuz the wind took it and it went goodbye

Good evening to all-
So today I took my XK 300 Staggerwing biplanes out to the flying field. No damage that could not be fixed quickly. I am coning to enjoy flying these biplanes more and more as I get used to their specific flight characteristics. These planes are very wind sensitive- don't like gusty conditions at all.

you all be safe and keep well- Ed

I was at the track today. Cars flew. Everyone flew besides the mini z people

I get some of my best footage right after the snowfalls. Typically with my Mavic 3.

I flew my truck today.

Good morning to all-
So I took my yellow XK 300 Staggerwing biplane down to the flying field, and since the wind was calm and not a consideration, I tried some gentle aerobatics. On the middle control setting, the plane does a very nice perfectly circular loop, and if the loop is stopped at the top, the little biplane will fly inverted for a good long time and it's under good control, too. I tried the third- least controlled setting, and the plane will do a very sedate and slow roll.
the more I fly these biplanes, the more I like them.
Takeoffs require a good long run down the landing strip to gain speed and control, and landings need to carry a good bit of speed until the flare and touch down, but I do like the way these biplanes look when they're in the air, and a successful takeoff, flight and landing produces a quite happy feeling.

you all be safe and keep well- Ed

Good evening to all-
since school is out and no one is at the school and its nice open parking lot, I took two eflite Waco biplanes for a run. both flew well- one with a 3s battery and one with a 2s battery. These little biplanes are such a pleasure in low wind/calm wind conditions. Not so much fun when it's gusty.

Flew them, did some rolls and loops and a little inverted and brought them in for a nice easy landing and then taxi up to me where I stood by the truck.
Nice day it was.

you all be safe and keep well- Ed
