F3b Soaring in USA: XG14 Progress
http://f3busa.blogspot.com/2014/08/xg14-progress.html
F3b Soaring in USA. Mike Lachowski's F3b soaring blog. Saturday, August 16, 2014. First day out with XG14. I ran through the normal brand new equipment check. First flights were with a radian after some range checks. It's a bit longer walk away from the models to get to the 40M range. Just have to be careful in pointing end of antenna to get correct results. Radian was uneventful including flying at long distance really low to the ground. It's nice to be on a big sod farm. Next comes the Bubble Dancer.

F3b Soaring in USA: New Winch
http://f3busa.blogspot.com/2015/03/new-winch_4.html
F3b Soaring in USA. Mike Lachowski's F3b soaring blog. Wednesday, March 4, 2015. I added a new winch to the connection. It's an Ober winch with a Bosch motor. My other winches are all Lucas motors but when they get packed in a Pelican case, it's real easy to exceed the 50 lb limit on luggage. So I have this winch so I have one that is easier to carry on an airline. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 2015 F3b World Championships. 2013 F3b World Championships.

F3b Soaring in USA. Mike Lachowski's F3b soaring blog. Monday, March 21, 2011. The weekend looked like it was going to be good for flying. Saturday forcast in Cumberland was for nice weather and winds that looked like they would be good for the slope. So I packed up the Cyril and Fosa as well as the Salto, Foka, and Pilatus and headed off to Cumberland. The weekend matched up with the Cumberland Spring soar for fun and the launch event for rcaerotowing.com. Friday, March 18, 2011.

F3b Soaring in USA. Mike Lachowski's F3b soaring blog. Thursday, August 28, 2014. Last weekend was the first contest flying with the Xplorer. Contest in Rhode Island. Awesome sod farm to fly on. Much bigger than my local sod farm fields. It would make a great F3b field. I can't complain about a 1st place with the new radio. This week I put the new receivers into my two Shooters. Saturday, August 16, 2014. First day out with XG14. Next comes the Bubble Dancer. Was next followed by my Xplorer 2. I was able...
