If someone will tell this Muppet how to download photos onto the forum, I'll then post some.

TTFN,
Neil


When you post a reply look in the bottom left corner of the screen. There is a part that says upload attachment. Click on it and then click on browse, you can now find the picture on your pc Once found double click on it to add it to your post. do this for all the pics you want to ad. It will be best if you resize them in a separate folder before you start.
Hope that helps.

After much frustration after the 1st flight with the Spit.......modifications to the power train seem to have done the trick.

The power set-up is now as follows...................

Motor - Hacker H-200/8

ESC - Jeti 'Spin' 300

Cells - 14s 13,500Mah Dualsky LiPo's

Prop - Solo 'variable pitch' 3 blade, 30" diameter, 16" pitch

Max static rpm - 4,700

Max static current @ full power - 247A

Safe flight time - 6 minutes

....3 highly successful flights were carried out at Longhorsley over the weekend.............a short video from the 1st of these flight can be found here. (Sound system not 'ON' for this one....)
