Re: Ultra Light 55% Extra 260

OK, here is the second video of Bob flying Memorial day. I believe this was his third flight of the day. Anyways, this video looks better since the sun was out, the other video was early in the morning and had more cloud cover. Sorry for my annoying voice in this one, didn't really feel like adding music. I just love the sound of that 200.

Bob's AEROTECH R/C 55% 260 #2 (8 min 42 sec)

And if your wondering, that was the tire coming off the ULTRA TINY tail wheel at the end.

I just cant wait to see the lighter version flown by Bob. There is nothing he cant do with an airplane, except maybe making one an anchor.

Re: Ultra Light 55% Extra 260

Thanks Drew for your time and effort to produce these two video's and thanks for the kind words guys. I hope to start building the kit version soon with a much lighter and stronger airframe then the prototype I am currently flying. There will also be a couple of other changes I plan on trying with my kit and I will share the results of my finding later on down the road.

Much lighter? Bob you are pushing the envelope my friend. I couldn't get over how light Kevin's plane was ! You must have studied all those Comet stick and tissue kits as a kid.
