[NSRCA-discussion] Intermediate Questions

[Bob Kane]

I fly the Master's sequence in roughly 7 minutes and consume anywhere from 2800 to 3500mAH depending on conditions.

Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Intermediate Questions
 


Getting better acquainted with the 2M Monolog and plan to attend the Huntsville, AL contest in a couple weeks Sept 14/15...
 
There is nobody close to help with coaching so, I have questions about Intermediate...
 
What is a normal flight time for the sequence?
 
I flew two sequences in a light cross wind (5-10mph) and both flights were very near 6 minutes each from timer on (switched with the idle down function and prop turning before takeoff) to timer off at final approach for landing.
 
First pair of batteries I replaced 2,850mA (+/- 50mA) each; and, the other set I put 2,890mA back in one and the other I put back in 3,085. I might need to match up the batteries with regard to IR and keep them as a pair.
 
This seems kind of low on energy consumption and flight time… Probably need to work on getting bigger radii in the Reverse Cuban, Double I, and the Humpty Bump (Pull/Push/Push). Seems like my maneuvers could be taller and a bit slower…
 
 
Looking forward to your thoughts... :-)
 
 
 
 
Going to the field again this after-noon for more practice... :-)
