In the air again
After being grounded for more than a week (lost a prop), I received the new
motors with gears on tuesday. I fixed them on the plane and went for a
flight on wednesday.
They did not perform as expected...(
>read on)
If you know about electric RC plane motors, please read and let me know how
I could improve them. From the
Wingo-RC forum I know that 2/3rd of all Wingo
pilots use the geared motors, but somehow it did not work good for me
So I put back the old el cheapo motors and went for a flight this morning
near a military practice ground nearby (after driving around a lot to find a
good >airfield)
They all stopped their work and took a break to see how the plane was doing.
Weather was fine, so I had no problems to perform some stunts over their
heads (as far as you can go with a slow flyer...)
I set up a >interactive panoramic view of the airfield, a technology I have also
used in the panoramic section
of my gallery a couple of years ago. Looks a bit like a live webcam :-)
When I fit the motors in I added capacitors for less flicker - it seemed to
help a bit.
There are 2 clips on the July page - for the second one I went up quite a
bit, about 200m above ground. >Short version
The good weather continues, so hopefully I will have many more flights this
month. My nikon is too heavy for the plane in the current setup, hope I will
get the Aiptek DV I bought on ebay soon so I can use that one to take better
quality pictures and videos.
Logo contest
I need a WebTruck Logo. If you like to do graphics, please think of
something that could used on the site, printed on T-shirts and flyers and
mail it to
webtruck@webtruck.org
Dont spend too much time on it, just enough to get an idea for me and the jury (all
members). The winner will get a free
>WebTruck DVD and FREE
WEBTRUCK DRIVING HOURS ;-)
I put the officecam to a new place so you can look straight in my face when
I work on the computer on that side - If you want to chat to me in the
chat just switch the webtruck lights on and off a couple of
times
Have a nice day
WebTruck
This time I checked all the links :-)
