[NSRCA-discussion] Osiris, was Weather

[Bob Kane]

I vowed to retire the Temptation and fly electric this year.  I have an Integral in white still new in the box but for a lot of reasons I have not started it yet.   I saw Sean Atwood's Osiris at the end of last season and decided it would work as a competition plane, at least for me*.  The beauty of the Osiris is it flies on exactly half of a full F3A battery, a 5S 5000mAH pack, so any investment in batteries can be carried over to a full size F3A plane.

* I am a long way away from being a top tier pilot. At last week's D4 season opener in Muncie, no one made the comment that the Osiris was holding me back and I would have scored better with a full 2M plane. ;)

In all seriousness, the plane performs very well and is a winner in the right hands.

#yiv116097710 p {margin:0;}The Osiris is very popular. It has to be very good.  The question:  Are you using for practicing only or is going to be your contest plane?
 
OK.  Waiting for Charlie.  I hope that he gets good news for us.

Now that I have 10 flights on the Osiris (4 test flights, 6 contest rounds) I'm taking advantage of the bad weather to change out the ESC for a lighter, higher current version, and moving back to help adjust the CG rearward. The rain makes looking at it sit on the bench more bearable.

I don't know about where ya'll live but I have to tell you this spring is far and away the worst weather I have ever seen. Today we have 44 degrees rain and 30mph winds. Yesterday we had 2 inches of rain in a short period of time. Its just miserable!!! Mike
