Birds of Time...RC Flying

[winsor68]

My mate Steve and I flew our Bird of Time RC sailplanes today. Launch method was 20 meters of 8mm surgical rubber...and 200 meters of bricky's line stretched to buggery. One of these Birds is built from a kit...and the other came ARF (Almost Ready to Fly).

 

I've got an onboard Variometer arriving this week...just like the full size ones. It uses telemetry to talk to my transmitter. I never thought I would see the day but this RC Vario has been on my bucket list for over 25 years. The technology is finally here.
