Rotating Airplanes

This past week I've flown the little T-28, the Cessna Champ, the FMS 800, the Easy Hawk. I try to keep batteries and planes in circulation. I flew the Easy Hawk with the Thunder Power 1350mah 25c three cell. Great battery. I can fly a long time with it. I am still bugged by the amount of up elevator it takes, hand-launching this plane, to keep it from diving nose first into the ground. Almost two years ago I tried to get back into radio control flying with a Dynam Hawk Sky. I destroyed that plane without ever being able to fly it. I thought it was awful. But no, the plane was very good. The problem was me. Give it a good toss and haul back on that stick! UP!

I spray painted the undersides of the wings on the FMS 800 and Easy Hawk with a very dark blue. I used ordinary spray enamel. This helps with orientation.
