| SteveM | Molt Models Tyro | Flying | 02-Jun-08 14:48 |  | | Views : 778 | | This morning was all about touch and goes with the Tyro, but I took a break to shoot a photo of it in flight. If I was thinking I would have had my gf shoot pictures Saturday morning. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Tyro | Flying | 02-Jun-08 14:44 |  | | Views : 764 | | I finally got around to repainting the Tyro. The Bird Dog came along as there was little to no wind earlier this morning. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Tyro | Flying | 29-May-08 16:37 |  | | Views : 746 | | Huh, that didn't take long. Notice I have resorted to mending small rips with scotch tape. I got this glued back together managed several touch and go's without breaking it again. On the way home I bought a spruce stick from the LHS. |

| SteveM | Molt Models Tyro | Flying | 18-May-08 14:39 |  | | Views : 804 | | Spent some time this morning practicing landings. On one landing I was not straight and messed up my touch down and it bounced and went nose first into the ground. I was actually able to glue and keep flying, break it again, re-glue, and repeat. |

| SteveM | Molt Models Tyro | Flying | 17-May-08 15:21 |  | | Views : 837 | | I was trying to land on the runway but was a little off to one side and clipped this little bank with the prop, breaking the motor shaft. I turned the Tyro around for this picture, but that's about where it came to rest. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Tyro | Flying | 17-May-08 15:18 |  | | Views : 783 | | This morning I got to the field at 0630 so it was still cool but the rising sun forced me to practice my landings headed from West to East. As you can see, my aim is better with the desensitised controls. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Tyro | Flying | 14-May-08 00:06 |  | | Views : 788 | | Thanks to my lack of skill at the sticks James will have to make a "Rebuild" picture category just for me. I got into a spiral near the ground again and didn't get out of it like usual. |

From start to 20 seconds the current slowly ramps to 4 amps where it stays till around 5.5 minutes. At this point 90% of the 700 mAh charge has been added then the charger slowly finishes in "balancing" mode. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Tyro | Flying | 10-May-08 16:13 |  | | Views : 822 | | Poppy - I learned that not only should I stay 2-3 mistakes from the ground, but also from the trees. I also learned that flying faster made it easier to control, especially in the wind. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Tyro | Flying | 10-May-08 16:10 |  | | Views : 778 | | Barnstormer - Yes, I will rebuild! When you get bucked off you just have to dust yourself off and get back on. Notice the right wingtip is unpainted and my nemesis, the oak tree, is in the background. |
