Despite the cold, I went flying today. It wasn't so bad until the wind did start picking up a bit...but my wife ran the camera for me and I flew my 600, Blue Cub, and had a maiden.
Here is the Trex 600 Pro DFC flight video

Re: Derek's Flight Log
Here is the maiden flight of my Specter scratch build. "ibcrazy" on Youtube designed this plane. He and Jeremiah (StoneBlueAirlines on Youtube) both have flown this plane in many videos. I wanted one, so I made one.

***EDIT***
Sorry about that, Tony! Not sure why, or how, I had it set for "Private" but it was indeed set that way. I've changed it to "Public", so hopefully the video shows up now.

Re: Derek's Flight Log
Thanks Tony! I need to order 6 new servos for another creation. Once the servos get here, I can maiden that plane. I also have to tidy up my FPV canard and then we'll have the maiden for it. I also have a 60" scratch built foam board "Big Stick" that will be ready for a maiden very soon, too. Oh....I also have another twin boom pusher, very FPV possible, that is waiting for electronics...then it could be maidened, too, lol. Then...I also have my 74" scratch built 3D plane to get some landing gear for and install the electronics (I have all the electronics and props) and then it will be ready for a maiden. Oh my...one more....I have a lightly used Trex 500 Pro DFC that is waiting for a new Ikon unit and I have some minor repairs to make on my Trex 500e flybarred.
Busy Busy Busy!!!

Re: Derek's Flight Log
I was just watching my Trex 600 flight, from the other day, and I noticed that at 0:52 in the video, it almost sounded like the helicopter was trying to "overspeed", lol.
