Introducing the Newbies

After yesterdays crashes, demolished plains and foam parts all over the floor, today was the day to get new planes.

Tadaa:
The "Mini Trainstar” by Volantex RC. It’s tiny. It has a wingspan of 40cm and a lenght of 31cm. With its 20 gram it’s also super light. My first impression when I took it out of the box was that there is really no weight.
Something I have never experienced before is the 6-Axis Gyro. I know that a Gyro is used for filming to keep the Camera still but I did not know, that one can also hold it’s plane still with it. How it looks and how it works are yet to be discovered. What I can say from a first testflight is that it keeps your plane propperly still in the air and there is way less uncontrolled movement. Still I’m not yet familiar with the concept and I suspect the Gyro to take turns on it’s own every now and then.
Also I had my difficulties with the Elevator. Whenever I wanted the plane to rise, I just pulled up the throttle, because somehow the elevator showed no effect.
Afer all I came back from my test flight without any broken planes and some pretty nice landings. It might still be worth having this Gyro.

The T34 from Top RC Hobby. What a beauty. It’s wingspan of 75cm makes it bigger than the Mini Trainstar but it’s still small.

Here I’m a bit worried. The seller asked me if I was a beginner and of course I said yes so he looked at me with this sorrowful expression. He said this plane is quite wild.

I did not yet put it together nor unpack it further. It would really be a shame to crash it too soon. Instead I’ll take pictures of it as long as I can. It really does look good.
