Got in a few flights at Petersen's today. Some DLG practice with the Gladiator II and first flights on my Fazer since all new electronics. Pretty good launches considering I sliced my hand open on the first launch releasing late and the wing tip cut me. Lots of blood but we fixed it up pretty good :eek:. I have the Gladiator behaving a little better but still nowhere near were it should be. I think I am going to have to sit down with the inclinometer and check all the rigging again, something is still wrong.
As for the Fazer we managed to break my 200lb test mono-filament winch line 3 times. I think this means it is time for a new order of line from the fishing place (It is a year old after all). Otherwise the lift (and sink) were very strong and localized. You really needed to work the plane to keep it going up. Managed two twenty minute flights even with the turbulence.
Attachments are DLG traces using my RAM2 altimeter.
