| jgood | Molt Models Tyro | Aerial | 04-May-10 16:53 |  | | Views : 1540 | | Flying over the airstrip. I still haven't got the hang of this camera. Although someone on RCGroups has told me to use a -0.30 EV correction, so I'll try that next time. Dissapointed, got lots of blurry shots again. This was one of the best. |
| jgood | Molt Models Tyro | Flying | 04-May-10 16:51 |  | | Views : 1580 | | The Tyro flying at sunset, up in Lake Wales, Florida. We stayed at a funky little hotel with an airstrip, suitable for 172s and Tyros alike. |

| jgood | Molt Models Tyro | Aerial | 21-Apr-10 05:25 |  | | Views : 1493 | | Got some time up in the air this morning. I need to put a darker colour on the wings, the silver is terrible for visiblity against a blue sky, almost invisible. Secondly, the new camera (a Pentax Optio S10) does not seem too good at the moment. Most of the shots were blurry, even after forcing the ISO up to 400, locking the focus on infinity, and trying the 'sports' mode. I shall do some more research - anyone want an S10 going cheap?! :) |

| jgood | Molt Models Tyro | Parked | 24-Mar-10 16:06 |  | | Views : 1482 | | Ready to go! This is just the base colours, I intend to jazz it up a bit later... If the maiden flight is OK! Just got to wait for a calm morning now... |
| jgood | Molt Models Tyro | Parked | 24-Mar-10 16:05 |  | | Views : 1366 | | Camera mounted using the same tripod mounting screw as before. It weighs 5 oz, for 16.8oz AUW with the 1320mAh battery. The camera is a Pentax Optio S10, reconditioned, bought from eBay for $120. |
| jgood | Molt Models Tyro | Parked | 24-Mar-10 16:02 |  | | Views : 1304 | | Ready to go... AUW is 12.3oz with a 2 cell 1320mAh battery (10.2oz empty). |
| jgood | Molt Models Tyro | Build | 21-Mar-10 07:45 |  | | Views : 1377 | | Progress so far. Covering with red Solarfilm, a slightly heavier covering than my usual Solite. Less translucent though, which suits the red. The wings will be silver Solite. |
