Today, Monday the 10 th of September I had the pleasure of putting the first two flights on my newly acquired and prepared Christian Eagle. It is the Great Planes Giant Scale Eagle II. It is powered by a near new DA 50. It has six Futuba 9020 servos, 1 Hitec high torque for Rudder, and 2 cheaper standard Futuba for throttle and choke. I have added a ExelRC optical kill switch, and it has TME smart smoke pump, hope try that tomorrow. I put in two flights, after a bit of trimming after first take off, and extending the range of my sight, (thanks Bob for being my eyes for a few moments while trimming), it settled into a fine flying machine. The landing went well, how be it, with one bounce before settling safely to the earth.
The second flight was used to try many maneuvers to see how it handled them, all very well. The second landing, did not bounce but was quite hot, I will have to learn to trust it to slow down more. Really a joy to fly.
The plane was previously owned and flown about ten times before I obtained it.

Mort Smokin Over Field
Here is the set of Mort’s Edge, also a nice blue day, and again pictures thanks to my son David. Had to include the pic of Mort over runway inverted even if it did not have smoke. Also these were taken last week.

Rich Smoking Over Field
My Son David took pictures of my Yak 55M and did a very good job. We were smoking over the field with near calm winds and blue, blue sky last week. I also have pictures of Mort’s Edge on the next day, I will also prepare some of these for our page.

Safety reminder
I was reminded at the field this week that if one hears his prop hit something one should immediately check it. The flyer did not check on the problem then restarted. A piece of prop flew about 30 feet, let’s remember these things. Rich
