F1D at EAA

At one point we had FIVE F1Ds in the air.

Mine flew well enough - I literally put it together, wound it up with some 1/16th and let it go and got over 10 minutes out of the box. No adjustments necessary. Amazingly it was only 1.3 grams. I thought it would be closer to 2. I got flights of 11, then 11:30, then 11:55. Best time was 12:37 IIRC.

Of course this is well under the 25 and 26+ minute flights Brett and Kagan got, but I was just hoping it would fly. Static pitch props in low ceilings = low times.

Regards.
