My first flights with a 2.4 Ghz FASST System from Futaba in a full carbon Pylon Plane (F5D)

Yesterday I tested the Futaba 2.4 GHz system in my F5D Plane. In advance I have done several flights with my good old Acromaster from Multiplex and a small Indoor plane called Voltmaster from Voltmaster. Once again I had no glitches at all. All Flight’s without any difficulties. The next step was to use the system in a modified Batleth; I will fly on the World championship 2008 in Kiev. The Batleth fuselage is build from Aramid and Carbon, so I had to put both antennas outside from the fuselage. With several walking tests on ground, I tried to find out what the range is. Everything seemed s under control so Carsten my F5D Buddy launched the plane in his smooth and good manner. The first flight test was ok, so we did more flights to see what happens. Everything seemed under control. I’m very happy with the new system.

3.eflight Indor Event

Last weekend we had enjoyed a relaxing, nice indoor meeting in Wetzikon Switzerland. Matthias, Carsten and David where also there.
Urs Leodolter and Roger Strebel organised the event together with members of the Modelergroup Pfäffikon.

Here a small video of the indoor pylon race. Thank you Mario. We had lots of fun and enjoyed the indoor flying. The race was won by a Milivolt from Voltmaster. One is for sure. The young guys will come. At these indoor events I look quite old with my flying style. :-)
At the 10. of February you will find some pictures here. All the photos are from Roger Strebel. you will find his website here.
