Snow Mission with the Sting Ray

by MESA RC | February 24, 2013 | (19) Posted in Projects


To The FliteTest Community:

The snow came to Colorado this past week and the latest planes of the MESArcFF crew have been put on hold; however, the one plane that has landing gear is our Sting Ray.  The basketball court was plowed and the FPV equipment was charged and ready to go.  The Sting Ray flew great and the kids attempted to fly out into the farm fields, the distance, 2,000 feet.  We did about half the distance, got scared of losing our Creative Grant project and came back.  The boys are wanting to purchase the clover leaf antenna to see if the results are different, when the funds come available we will attempt the farm land again.

 

Thank you for watching and supporting the MESArcFF Program.
