MX-2

I built the MX-2 for the 2010 indoor fying season. By the time I actually got around to flying the model it was outdoors on April 11. I was a little nervous on the maiden flight but only for a few moments. As the model took to the air and started climbing out it needed no more than one-click of trim to the ailerons. The model flew very slow and was tracked very well in calm air. I was quite impressed.

Over the 2010 Summer I flew the model outdoors on several more occasions and really like the way it handled. In December I brought it to my first flying session in the HHH Metrodome and after getting it trimmed for level flight I lost radio control and crashed into the turf. The crash did a fair amount of damage but it looks like it can be repaied without too much trouble. It should fly again next Spring.

My Configuration

The checkers on the bottom of the wing were done with Sharpie markers. They worked quite well. I am using them on an unprinted MX-2 kit I started building.
