Ah, The Sunday Fly

Took the JW up to the Bowl on the Mount on Sunday in 15kts SE. Was flying okay but had a heavy landing which munted the left aileron servo. Daniel offered me some gears to replace my stripped out ones in the servo, but they didn't quite fit inside the case, so what to do? In the end I managed another 40mins flying using just the right aileron for steerage.

It wasn't an ideal solution and made it impossible to do rolls (it would just fall into a crazy inverted spin)but was an interesting exercise flying a plank with only one aileron.

Later Daniel's Fusion was mysteriously shot down by some interference (suspected) although we never got to the bottom of his problem so we called it a day.

Just to finish, here's an interesting old pic of Power Scale Slopers from the US club the Inland Slope Rebels.
