Another day at the office?

(1/4) > >>

Happy Days:
Could not resist it. Sunshine, west wind, and a new model to fly. :D
(Actually it wasn't a 'new' model, but one that Fred had given me a few weeks ago. But what does that matter? :P )
So armed with a little stills camera I tried flying and photo'ing at the same time. (Not good for the heart rate :shock: .......trust me on this one!)

'Turning Left!'




'Coming in for a low pass'



She blew back from the ridge and I nearly lost her to the dreaded Trees!!!




No, she didn't crash,...........just very nearly :oops:


Don't think I'll do any more of this one handed flying. I have enough pairs of brown trousers now! :oops:

Keith

Alan_Perse:
Was this last Saterday Keith?

Happy Days:
No Alan, that was today. :D
The winds were stronger today than on Saturday :D  :D

Got a new battery for your Tx yet?

Alan_Perse:
Well I bought a new one with tripple the capacity (1800mAh) but I have'nt received it yet. But I recharged the old battery and it's fine now  :?: . Must check my computer charger  :?: . Never had problems with the charger before. But when I do get my new battery I think I'll use that.

Happy Days:
Hmmm,...............You've probably already thought of this, but I wonder if you haven't got a slight corrosion problem on the battery terminals causing an intermittent high resistance contact. :?
It seems odd that the battery goes down to Tx cut off voltage when in use one moment, but not the next :?:

I agree,......best you use the new battery Alan, don't want to loose another model!
