hi all, Did something new today. I've been dialing my X-21 to do cross wind launches, and finally have it dialed in and no more snapping. I had a good 15 mph head wind, so I loaded up the mono on the f3b winch to see how I could weave it from side to side. I loaded it up and launched it, as soon as it took off I got off the winch pedal and never touched it again. I started weaving from side to side like a kite and it was working beautifully. I remembered someone telling me about circle towing, never heard of it before or seen it, and wasn't going to believe it till I seen it. So I decided to give it a try. When I was coming across in front of me while still doing kiting, I put in full left rudder and it did a perfect circle, I couldn't believe! I did another, and another, opened it up a little to climb out, then dive it back down, I was amazed and laughing out loud, hope nobody seen me out there. :-) If I could go left, I'll try right, then did figure eights, then saw how low to the ground I could go then push it way up high. Couldn't beleive I was doing this, and wondering why I've never tried it before. It sounded like I was DS'ing from the sound the mono cutting thru the air. that flight last 10 minutes and my neck was killing me, so I wound it up and stomped on the pedal to get a huge ping out of it. Had a HUGE grin on my face the whole time, what a blast! Couldn't beleive I was doing this, and wondering why I've never tried it before. Just had to tell someone. :-) Dave Hauch www.git-r-built.com RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
