The weather today was too good to pass up so I took out my SBB and flew it nekid. 15* above & only about 6 knots of wind out of the NE. It doesn't get much better than that here this time of year. I wanted to wait until it's painted but the 14 day forcast didn't look too promising.
Only launched twice, both times on E9s. Thanks again for the "E" motor hook Flying Silverad, & thanks for evryone that suggested I set it up for Es. I'm glad I went that direction.
Both flights were very stable & what a flyer!! Even my wife was impressed. I made her do the second launch.
Recovery was fine on both flights. All in all very uneventful, but very memorable. This was my first E launch, & my first launch on anything bigger than a C since I got back into the sport a year ago after a 33yr break. I think I had a D powered ship back then, but I don't remember what it was. Anyway, lots of fun. Trudging 100 yds thru knee deep snow both times for the recovery wasn't though. Take the snowshoes next time!.
Does anyone have a sim that gives the projected altitude with the E9 in a SBB built otherwise stock?
