The Titan (L) and the King2 (R) getting ready for their evening flight.
On Sunday, met up with Lelek for lunch after my bowling tournament (will post about it later) to discuss some stuff. After our meal and our discussion, we decide to head over to the R/C Air-field near our home to put some air time in the helicopters. So picked up the Titan and King2 and off we went. It was 4pm when we reach the place. As I've very little sleep and tired from the tournament, I told him that once the juice ran out of King2, we'll be out of the place, I want to go home and sleep!
Hovering King2 with Training 'Wheels' To discourage crashing
So, plugged in the King2 and turned up the juice and got down to practicing my hovering, this time around, I've no fear of crashing the delicate chopter as we installed a training kit on it. Yup. It's like training wheels but on a Helicopter. The battery lasted about 10minutes before I've to put the King2 back on the ground and Lelek got his Titan up into the air within seconds.
Peter putting the finishing touches on his plane.
Also, we met an English couple that came by to fly their newly build plane. Peter was the name of the guy, after getting his plane installed and all system checked, he got himself parked at the best spot and shot his plane off into the air like a rocket. As he got use to the control and speed of the plane, we start throwing request to him to perform, barrel roll, loop-a-loop, low pass and so forth and he happily performed them. Even his wife was impressed by the performance as she commented that he usually would take it slow on the maiden flight of his planes.
The Jet Engine before it was fired up
Oh yeah, by then, a crowd has started to build up as more people start arriving with their own R/Cs, but the attraction of the day was a Jet Turbine that was newly installed. The owner of the turbine set it up on a workbench and got it fired up. The sight and sound was amazing! The sound is deafening, just like the real thing! Well, it is the real thing, the mechanics and the internal components is just the same as the real thing, just shrunked in size to be used on Remote Control Jet planes. Check out the video below for the sight and sound!
Well, took some pictures of the day so click here to view the gallery of pictures.
