Image Comments SteveM 14-Oct-08 16:12 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 14-Oct-08 16:20 I started out on the little Tyro but the ever changing wind made it bounce all over and made for some hair raising touch and goes. Of course it didn't help that I was out of practice. Later I flew the Aero-Star and was really enjoying the smooth and predictable flight. That was until I waited too long to abort a bad touch and go and managed to nose in and break the prop off and spin the plane so violently that the horizontal stabilizer tore off (which it is designed to do should you whack it hard enough). I am getting tired of replacing $5 props so I am looking into a smaller motor with a higher KV that will allow me to use an 11" prop, gaining an inch of prop-ground clearance and costing half as much to replace.
