Spitfire Build and First Flites

by thejosh108 | May 25, 2013 | (8) Posted in Just Fun

 

Just finshied my Spitfire! I will get some pictures up once its bling it out. But wow! this planes handles so well, even in the wind (all I seem to get lately).

My powerpod: Turnigy D2826-10 1400kv motor, 30 amp plush esc, 8x4 prop, and the orange RX (it's the same one I now use in my baby blender)

 

And as alway, I fly out of my bike. (I really should have made it removable wing...)

Very nice. Perhaps next time you could fade into a music overlay when the camera is on the plane. The wind noise is quickly tiresome.

I disagree. This is about flying not listening to music. I find on-board footage far better with the sound left alone, it tells me more about what the flying is like.

I agree with thejosh, I love all music, but id rather listen to the sound of the prop and wind blowing by. It gives you the feeling of being in the plane. Music , takes that away and youre just watching a thing buzz around. Quite boring .....
