Say good bye to the sun. SteveM Midwest Products Aero-Star .40 Flying 02-Jan-09 12:23 Views : 1340 Here you can see the rain and its angle. SteveM Midwest Products Aero-Star .40 Flying 01-Jan-09 16:48 Views : 1375 I took advantage of a period of lighter rain (and stronger wind) to break out the Aero-Star. I took two laps about the field then landed and made haste to thaw out at the nearest heater. Two laps may not sound like much, but in this weather that is a lot. SteveM Midwest Products Aero-Star .40 Flying 01-Jan-09 16:43 Views : 1260 A few brave souls ventured out into the rain to get a few minutes aloft, many landings missed the runway due to gusting wind and numb fingers. There was a continuous rain shower all morning, even though it is not visible in these pictures. SteveM Midwest Products Aero-Star .40 Flying 01-Jan-09 16:40 Views : 1359 Wind and rain turned most everyone into armchair pilots. Propane heaters, coffee, and a big pot of chili helped keep everyone warm. SteveM Midwest Products Aero-Star .40 Flying 01-Jan-09 16:36 Views : 1269 Turn out for the club's 2009 Polar Bear Fly In was surprisingly good this year. Hangar Aircraft Category Date Preview SteveM Midwest Products Aero-Star .40 Flying 14-Oct-08 16:12 Views : 1208 I finally found time and suitable weather to dist off my transmitter and planes. Of course the 0-1 MPH wind that was forecasted was more like 5+ MPH with gusts. The sun is far enough to the South now to allow landing from the East in the morning. SteveM Midwest Products Aero-Star .40 Flying 30-Jul-08 12:45 Views : 1232 I landed and came to a stop where the crossing had been attempted. I hoped to get a picture of them walking past the plane, but she would have nothing to do with it and blew at it (sounds like a sneeze) several times to voice her distrust and alarm. SteveM Midwest Products Aero-Star .40 Flying 30-Jul-08 12:43 Views : 660 I have heard of full sized aircraft hitting deer on the runway, but this morning was my first encounter nearly hitting one with a model airplane on a runway only 100' long! SteveM Midwest Products Aero-Star .40 Flying 19-Jul-08 23:45 Views : 658 Sadly, the D-7 was not flown. I hear it was for sale but I'd hate to buy it when I could build a kit or from plans. I did get the Aero-Star up a few times and it handled the winds much better than the Tyro did yesterday morning. SteveM Midwest Products Aero-Star .40 Flying 19-Jul-08 23:42 Views : 582 Today was the club warbird rally but attendance was a little low due to double booking with a booth for an annual event put on by the city. Fortunately a few sould braved the strong winds and went aloft. SteveM Midwest Products Aero-Star .40 Flying 23-Jun-08 16:04 Views : 597 Coming in for a landing. It glides a whole lot flatter than the Tyro and needs more roll out on the runway to come to a stop. I found myself crossing one end of the runway 10' off the ground with the motor off and leaving the far end still 10' up. Page (3 in total) :  1   2   3  [ < Prev ] [ Next > ]
