Keeping your hand in during winter

Im putting an old Wot 4 I rescued from my shed back together,.Ive fitted a New OS 40 FP i bought off E bay for £28,a new u/c ,and Im going to iron on some chequered covering for orientation.I plan to use it as a winter hack until the weather improves.

Are you copping the wet too klipklop. jeeze the whole southern hemisphere is drowning. weve just had a big storm pass over the top of NZ causing problem and australia has done it hard .

No havent read any E mails,went straight to the field yesterday,lovely sunshine even took my jacket off for a while.Felt pretty rough but had some flights with the Fun Cub,and a bit of a chat with the guys.Then off to work,did enjoy it,we got 2 cars through on finance,sold another one and hopefully should have 5 going out today.That should help things a bit

Im hoping to use the Swift as my winter hack and need to modify the Fun cub motor mount to see if it stops the vibration it has they should do me.Then on 1st of January I hope to have the Sparrowhawk ready for its maiden,have rhe Super Scorpion to fly and the Swift

1 Are you flying the right sort of model for the conditions? If it is very windy, I will take the Sprinter and Pulse 40, both of which are heavy models and will cope with heavy winds. If light winds, or calm, then the mini pulse, extra 300 and Speed air. Horses for courses.

2 You are restricted to 2 days a week flying,and 2 consecetive days to boot. You are not giving yourself much of a chance!!!

3 Are you learning from your crashes??, or do you do the same mistake over and over again? Crashes are nothing to be ashamed of so long as you learn from your mistakes
Still a bit of a pig when one goes in though

i was doing fine with my high winger, now that's finished i am on my low winger and it is a handful to fly.
some days i get a good session, but of late i just can't get it to fly right.

i only have the one plane so have to fly it, i try to wait for real calm conditions.

oh well i will just fix it again and try another day.

People were arriving today with there chosen winter hack Very brisk day but with the Swift now performing well got more flights in than usual

Super flying day today. Got there at 10 am, not a breath of wind, overcast , fine and temp 12 degrees. Just 2 of us there for 3 1/2 hrs. Managed 11 perfect flights with no damage at all. Lipos all charging up ready for the next session. What a great day!!!!! That is what this hobby is all about!!

This is the reason Im resurrecting the Funcub.I find it so much easier than scrambling around in the mud firing up my IC.
