Mini LecRoo

Merci beaucoup Monsieur Phil.

Mon Dieu, ce forum doit tenir Google Translate très occupé!

Ah! Je suis desole, la plume de ma tante est frappe, mon crayon aussi.
Can't be asked to change my keyboard to "French" and as for using Google Translate, even that shaky programme wouldn't produce the almost sounding French that i started to learn when I was a kid.
Enough of this frivolity.

Hi Every One - My last post on the Mini Lec Roo was on 29th May 2019 when I wrote that she was ready for
her maiden flight, the post then got "hijacked" with certain members commenting in froggy.

First attempt - 4th July 2019 - lost in South field crop - disorientation
Second attempt - 14th May 2021 - lost in N.E field luckily no crops.- disorientation
Third attempt - 8th September 2021 - success at last - see pics attached.

Thanks go to the following launch team members.

Search & recovery - John B, Tim S & Brian J.
Launching - Brian J
Photography - Tim S.

The model is very fast, initial losses we due to me being too slow to throttle back,
the model has a flat wing section and thus a limited speed range .
Launching is critical requiring quite a hefty throw with the motor screaming at full
throttle - 3S lipo - 6x4 prop & 3,200 kv inrunner.
