| SteveM | Molt Models Tyro | Build | 18-Apr-08 05:28 |  | | Views : 736 | | Testing out the motor and servos. AUW is 14.7 oz as shown here with the 640 mAh battery. Rain and 10 MPH wind is the forcast for the next week, I guess that gives me time to adjust all the servos and practice on the simulator. |

| SteveM | Molt Models Tyro | Build | 18-Apr-08 05:17 |  | | Views : 821 | | View of the battery, receiver, ESC, and servos. Wire marking labels make great labels for servo leads. |

| SteveM | Peck Polymers One Nite 28 | Flying | 13-Apr-08 20:26 |  | | Views : 2418 | | Recharging the battery. You can see the new prop and pull-pull rudder. Like yesterday, just as the battery was finished recharging the wind kicked up. I tried to fly anyways and had a 20 second wild ride before doing a nose plant and breaking the prop. |
| SteveM | Peck Polymers One Nite 28 | Flying | 13-Apr-08 20:23 |  | | Views : 1767 | | I tried a 5" prop that I think came with the motor. Regardless, it seemed to privide more thrust and I had less trouble flying upwind and was able to climb fairly high. |
| SteveM | Peck Polymers One Nite 28 | Flying | 13-Apr-08 20:21 |  | | Views : 1757 | | Got out to the field again this afternoon. I didn't time the flight but I think it was about 5-6 minutes. |
