MudBee in flight

[andrewhalst]

This is by way of being a relevant trial. I have never posted a pic before so i'm following the instr's assiduously

This is my current indoor/flatcalm outdoor flyer on a glorious morning last month (it may have been the British Summer!)

She normally lives on LZB-style wheels on a carbon axle, but I had broken that on a previous flight while trying to take pix and fly at the same time (failed)

FWIW, I get through GWS motors far too fast, they have all been steel brushed versions, I would like to try a carbon version, but havn't found any in the UK yet.

MudBee has flown most of her long life in the dark - whenever there is a flat calm night I go and kill a motor or two. No -lights but she is so peaceful that once she is up above the trees and streetlights I can fly happily by the shape and GWS gear whistle!
