Lee Rice dropped by Sat during our Golden Era event to give me a hand in putting the first check out flight on the Strutter. For the uninformed - This is a Proctor Kit, 1/6 Scale 1-1/2 Strutter, 65" WS (BiPlane), powered by an AXI 4130-20, Jeti 77 Opto ESC and 8 A123 cells. The flight appeared to be uneventful, able to loop from straight & level. He put around 7 minutes on it and landed well ahead of the batteries going soft. More flights to come as I hope to fly it a DEAF in Seagoville in a couple of weeks.
Lee also took the time to fly Ed Newman's "small" 1/6 scale Fiesler Storch 94" WS that I did an electric conversion on. This was it's maiden flight and was totally unpainted as I needed to prove to Ed that it would fly with electric power.
