Wind rotors of the peak....

I'll go with that! Yup yup, them darn wind rotors!

Being serious though, I am somewhat careful of winds that may be passing over the mountain faces. I have a fear of being sucked over the top and pushed into a radio blackout.

I think my plane, mainly the aft end, is flexing the faster I go causing wag. Right at that point I could feel it starting to wag. Any time I accelerate at a high rate or go over 55 mph it seems to cause wag. I think I need to center my rudder a bit better as well, this might contribute to the wag.

The ground recording for the flight, shortened.

After that I think I'll go back to paper darts..... .......really.....really.....cool..

Have you tried some multiple angle shots on the same flight just to see what the control surfaces are actually doing.

Check out this vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjbTcU-01Zk a Bixler 2, not as well built as yours but I was surprised at the movement.

Thanks cynr100!!

Going to try that, I have the cam I just forgot to put it on.Going to start running a tail cam in future flights if I can remember to stick it on there.

Got a close looks at the local Elk today.

That's cool, now you need a temp sensor.
Keep doing that and you will need IFF

Ah, I won't be doing that again except for over a mountain. Just needed to test the limits of the plane as it is before going out after larger mountains.

Got a bit of flying in today, this is on my buddies channel.
