So I've been back and forth to the park all day with the Habu and the Stryker. TONS of kids and families cause of Easter - and they're diggin the planes.
On my last visit, I actually got a standing ovation on the maiden flight of the Habu. 3 minutes of high speed passes and tricks, clicked on the spoilerons and greased a landing so smooth that I amazed myself. Then, one clap, two claps, everyone at the park claps.
Pretty cool...
Then, after all that excitement, on the the third Habu flight, I noticed she wasn't responding to my right aileron input. So I decided to land her and clicked on the spoilerons - bad idea. She instantly nosed over hard. Clicked them off and tried again. Same thing happened each time - and she was super sluggish on the right aileron with them off. Brought her around for one last pass and this time took her against the wind without spoilerons. Landed with a small bounce. The servo clevis had come loose somehow and I had absolutely no right aileron in the last half of the flight. Slid the clevis back on with the rubber band and she flew just fine after that.
I'm patting myself on the back right now - just in case anyone is wondering. ;D

You just don't care what type of audience you get, do you?  |

Judging from your avator and your occupation, I would never have thought you to be an attention hound Gabe ;D Nice save, BTW |
