Too Hot To Fly?

[Ernie Buenafe]

I’ve got three planes to test fly, not including the Flip. I’ve replaced the flap servos in Flip/SpriteHot/Avionik, and aileron & flap servos in the Orion2. Switching to KST X08H+ servos. Pricier, but tighter with less slop than the Bluebird servos I was using. Makes a difference in the aerobatics I’ve been doing.

Lately it’s been too hot for me. But a slight cooling trend is forecast.

Hey Ernie, I've got those in a couple planes and they're great. Im interested in how they do in your Avionik.  Bummer about the heat.

Dave, still waiting for a relatively cool morning to fly. I don’t like flying when it’s too warm, air is thinner, less lift.
