Beach fun fly

Another beautiful day at the beach, the tide is low, the wind was breezy and our glider glide slow and easy over the sunset. It looks beautiful against the blue and orange like sunset horizon as it flew above the sea from line of sight view. I also view it from my FPV equipment just to make sure my flight is above the coastal line.  Never felt so relaxed after hard working days. Tagging along are some of my friends flying their gliders and helicopters too zooming around and entertain some beach goer too.  Tomorrow is monday....bummer.

Beautiful birds view in HD

I just got my lightweight HD 808 #16 keychain and place it under my slow HK TRISTANIA @ TECHONE SPIRIT EPP foam plane. Flew FPV above our local area and too beautiful view of the surroundings.  The birds eye view on HD  looks beautiful.  Flying on FPV with HD recording make me appreciate more about the scenic beauty and surrounding where we live.    Life is now always need to be confined on ground level.  Its nice to be like a bird once.

Easy foam plane fix

The best thing about foam plane is no matter how you bad you dent, bent or distort the whole body parts you can always get a fast perfect fix by dipping the affected part of the foam into more than 100 degrees of boiling hot water.  In this case i had my glider wing crashed into other r/c plane from opposite direction and plumetted into the soil.  The wing badly bent on the root junction of the wing spar.

To fix it just wrap a slabs of thick cotton clothes around the affected damaged foam. Then pour a hot boiling water (probably beyond 100 degree) above the clothes so that the hot water soaked inside temporarily hold the tempreature and heats up the contacted foam surface.  The hot water will then get absorbed into the plane's damaged bead foam which then use heat to expand the foam back to its original uncompress form slowly.  When pouring the hot water do it with caution, watch out not to pour excessive amount of hot water tempreature which causes the foam to swollen further and create bubly surface or blister.  Do it slowly and you may need manually straighten the bend wing or surface if it was badly bend from the start because when the foam is in hot condition you can easily reshape back the parts to original state.   I did it dozen of time on my second hand plane i bought from my friends and it always works 100%  keeping the models foam surface back like into smooth surface.  So far it works on my EPP, EPO and normal foam used on planes models.  Try it out.  Cheers.

FPV bush flight

Here is another advantage flying a slow lightweight EPP foam plane.  Its so slow and so light my HK TRISTANIA @ TECHONE SPIRIT EPP foam plane with FPV system on board can easily navigate and fly narrowly above bushes, between trees, fields and places where r/c helicopter could have been.  Which is why this is one of  my favorite daily fun FPV plane.  Everyday i had a cool jungle adventure when i'm not on my mountain bike.  Still it needs skilled pilots to move around in such thight and low flying condition to avoid stall, crashes and any posibble low flying mishap.  Fourtunately i have tonnes of flight hours and got me some great flying skills, so no problem for this flying ace veteran. lol.  *Touch wood*
