First Flight of the MS2K SS!

Got out this evening and my friends Yanni & Natasha were my patient audience as we waited for a lull in the wind. Natasha kindly offered to be my camera person and captured the footage. Great work on a $67 Kodak digital camera! I have not flown outdoors in 20 years so a foamy in the wind to fly with was a real hoot! Man things have changed from balsa, balsa & more balsa! The single stick is very natural and comfy and reduces any panic reflex that one might get flying a short sticked duallie.  Will definitely take it out again on a calm day give it a real workout.

Cheers,
Andy

Virtual & real at the same time. Please watch the servos too.

Trim Lever Prototype based on Proline

Can't find it?...Gotta make it. Might make a small run of these guys. Based on a Proline lever. Will have cut out in inside if produced.

Fly little one, fly.

Serial Number 001 Ready to Go!

The semi-custom first production unit is ready to leave home. This baby features the Ver 2 BB system and the client requested 5k pots, sealed/ceramic bb, 3/16" shaft (for compatibility with other gimbals) and a grip. I used a very tacky rubber intended as track bicycle grips. 


Now on to the next units!!!
