Spring season openers

Spring is finally here ... temperatures are up in the mid teens, low to moderate winds, fabulous clouds and occasional blue skies. It's flying time ...

These are my 5 season openers this April:

XR8

EX220

THINSLY 260

GTR7-300

BIGBOY2

These are the five that followed the path of earlier two pre-season openers that unfortunately met with early show-stoppers.

The Puda240 was abruptly introduced to a hard gneiss lining the shores of Gandalfjord and  kelp last Sunday. It broke a prop, a motor, a camera (x361) and a complete dip in the fjord. No damage to the frame itself but a slightly bruised pride. It has been completely rinsed in warm water, dried and awaiting re-assembly. Hopefully the Betaflight F3 and Furibee_32 30amps Escs that be successfully revived in time.

The Racer275 completed a successful flight on Monday but was marred by the Airmode upon landing. It flipped twice, ate dirt, grass and irrecoverably burnt two Sprot 2300KV motors. It was sent to the bench and DYS Samguk Wei 2600kv took up the new job by Thursday evening, Racer275 flew again with renewed vigor however hasnt been fully airborne as a racer should.

Flights by these season pioneers will be uploaded in due course. Let the flying begin.
