[NSRCA-discussion] Osiris, was Weather

[Ihncheol Park]

Mark,

 

Are you running the A50-12S ? 

I am running APC 16x10E, but it seems to lack speed in wind.

I am even thinking about running APC 15x12 (glow prop) as I can't find any
higher pitch on 15" diameter.  Only thing available is Master Airscrew which
I don't even touch.

 

Ihncheol

I would have to agree with Bob.  It's very capable plane.  My son is
currently competing with it in Intermediate and is not suffering from the
slightly smaller size.   It's flight characteristic fully mimic a 2m plane
and it handles the wind extremely well.  I would encourage anyone to try
one.   I've flown it through both P-11 and F-11 without any shortcomings.
Power on a 5s pack is abundant (with a 16x10 prop...the 15x10 is good, but
doesn't mimic the type of power the 2m planes have) giving you full vertical
lines and plenty at the top.  I've been extremely impressed with it.   

 

I would say for anyone wanting to get started in Pattern, it's the perfect
first plane to fly from Sportsman through Advanced.  It flies masters well,
but at that level you're starting to meld pilot skill with overall
presentation and of course, a 2M does present slightly better.  I say
slightly because this plane really does present like a "small" 2m plane.

 

It's also a great practice plane for learning new maneuvers without putting
as much $$ at risk.  I got my sons in the air for about $700 all up.

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.

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
