Flying the Hacker MX-2, MX-Bach RCGF-USA 35cc

Hot, Mississippi HOT!, But virtually windless. I wasn't entirely feeling it, but once I got everything in the car, I was pretty game! Took the Hacker MX-2, flying 3S. Its the first time on the iX12, had to program it at the field, made a few adjustments. Before leaving I decided to put slightly bigger wheels on the mains and tail, which helped, but she still would trip over the mains if ai wasn't careful. She has really super flexible mains, almost like paper... but I can land her super light, she's such a great flier, that its not much of a problem.

Fun flier!

First flight of the day with the MX--Bach. I was really distracted, not focusing well on the tasks at hand. I wasn't even there while flying my plane.  Unstable approach, unstable landing, tipped a little and prop strike...that was the end of the day. No other damage, so I'm not calling it a crash, though I guess technically it is... okay, fine, resetting the crash clock. I was flying a 19x8on this 35cc, the smallest recommended. I am 9ut of props for this one, so ordered two Turnigy 20 x 8 props, scimitar shaped. They'll be here in a week. Can't eat the price, $14 a piece.

Anthony was there with his 350, on the left, the 250 on the right benched for a split in the tail belt. He be humble, but the boy got skilz and it was fun to watch him enjoy himself. He prefers the smaller helis, something unique among pilots.

Well, the heat is something else, but that wasn't my excuse for anything. I wasn't feeling it today, though I flew the MX-2 well, but I was absent flying the MX-Bach. I just haven't felt much like flying lately, mostly because of the cost of the risk of a crash repair,and partly because I have been blue with all the crap going on. Today took  me away from all of that, and reminded me why I fly! Need to get the MXS-R and the Waco in the air, and get back to the 600's while I wait for parts for the 500.

It's all good.
