[NSRCA-discussion] 2008 Season wrap-up

[Anthony Romano]

Nice job Scott! You had some good results from all you work too!

 227 So far but this mornings snow is not very promising. 
52   Vanquish Hacker A30
166 Black Magic V2.2 OS 1.40 
9     Genesis AXI 5330

 Got somewhat burn out at the end of the season. Five local contest and the Nats the flew a foamy yesterday for the first time since Halloween. 
 Nearly 300 on 'Magic including an engine rebuild, rudder servo, wheels and wheel pants. Probably needs a rear bearing and aileron servos before spring. Hard to compare flights with E power since I routinely fly 14 minutes with this plane.

Two.

281 flights on a Prestige A60-20S

123 flights on a Prestige C50-XL14

 

One motor mount failure on the A60 after a
1 ½ down snap.  (The ply disk delaminated…I was lucky the motor unplugged
itself before any real damage was done.) 

I’ve greased the gear box in the C50
three times and replaced the wheels on the #1 plane (after 374 flights total.) 
That’s it for maintenance and why I really like the electrics. 

Oh, and I like the idea of pulling the
motor routinely…I might have caught the A60 loosening up!

 

Chris,  Speaking of slop soaring, have you
seen the 371 mph record setting flight?  Amazing what Joe and others are
doing!  (I think he could use some help though in the pitch control department
from the likes of DeanP or MattK!)   How many G’s you figure that 65#
plane is pulling in those turns?

Since the list is slow…

 

I’m guessing I flew my last
flight for 2008 today; it’s just getting too cold here in New England!  So barring a warm spell, I ended with
404 flights since April 17th.  Contests were a little light
with three district meets and the Nat’s.  Electrics worked very well
for me with battery cost currently at $2.91 per flight.

(I know, I know…it’s
sick I count flights.  But that’s my aviation upbringing and
computer nerd side!)

 

How many flights/contests did you do
this year?
