Guys, Foregt the rechargebale batteries, or anything to that effect. You are only going to do the flight once. If you have not doneyour homework for the flight, just buy another set of alkalines.
For those commeting about why, well back when it was conceived it was thought to be a hard task. At the time it was. For planes, Fine one that flies in light lift and is stable. Often the wind dies down sometime and then you are scratching. Anyone who flies thinking about having fun is carzy because I would not want to get 6 hours in and have the plane go in because I was racing around the sky. I flew a Graupner Cirrus. I second the Lvl 5 contests. I was almost the first LSF V. I had all my flight taks done and one contest when Baxter and Work got their flights in. It turns out that they knew someone in Calif was going for it but did not know how far along they were. It was me. I was doing the flights because I was going away to grad school and knew I would not have a chance to get the flight witnesses. On returning from school, I entered the first 2 contests, and won those for my last 2 wins. The last contest was interesting, it was all three goal and return flights in a singles contest. I was the only one to get the 6.2 mile Lv5 5 goal and return, even beating out Joe Wurts, the king of goal and returns. My first goal and return was with a Grandespirit, and my last with my original F3B RE ship. Good luck. Chris Adams LSF 348 Lvl 5 # 8 RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
