FT Flying Session 01 2025 - Super Kinetic

[@seanbarrie8713]

Oh dear, not a great start to the year but she’s rebuilt which is excellent. Things can only get better as they say. All credit to you for flying in sub zero temperatures and as we know, things happen. Rob’s done a great job with the repair too. Fabulous….and Happy New Year flying 👌🏻

Hi Sean - I keep looking at the raw video looking for an excuse - but I think it was pure pilot error - slow reactions with a dab of orientation issues - I actually gave the aircraft to Rob for keeps as he had spare parts (he had one that also crashed), so it made sense that he should use his parts to repair it and keep it.. This flying Session has no other way but to go up from here... Cheers Martyn

Looks good and frosty there , sorry to see the plane go down

[@FlankerTanker]

Hi Ironmover - it sure was frosty -6c (21.2f) - it was cold enough - I have had a bit of a run on Crashing three so far so lets hope thats the end of it for a while (they do say things like this happen in 3's) - Spoiler alert - all the other flights went quite well.... Cheers Martyn

Well... it certainly lived up to its name by getting all kinetic with terra firma! At least you got out and flew something, though, Martyn. This chicken hasn't flown since December 3rd!

Happy New Year Gina, I always try to look on the Bright side of these happening, and feel better that it was an old, aircraft, I did not fly it much, and now Rob can enjoy it - as for getting out and flying - it really was too cold and frosty -6c for most of the morning - the calor gas was on almost all the time in the hut (which was nice and warm) - Hope you both have had a nice Christmas, I think you have the right Idea -Keep Warm and Well (both of you) - Cheers Martyn

Well dang Martyn! I'm sure the next one went fine...

[@FlankerTanker]

Hi Adam - at least it was not a Viper - I am running a little low on those LOL...... More flying and better fun to come - Happy New Year - Cheers Martyn

[@keithmoore5306]

ouch!! that's what 4 crashes in the last 9 flights? you're either rusty or need to step back for a bit Martyn! you haven't showed any new additions to the air soft collection in while have you added any and just not got around to showing them?

[@FlankerTanker]

Hi Keith - I counted 3 crashed - the landing gear on the Viper (I don't count) - and they do say things like this can happen in 3's - and indeed the rest of the flying in this session goes according to plan....Not sure if it Rusty , Old age, or just being tired, but your right I am taking a few weeks off , it could also have been the cold - as for Airsoft/Rations - I do have a few that I should plan to video - will look into making something... Cheers Martyn

[@keithmoore5306]

@@FlankerTanker yeah well Martyn i consider it a crash if a repair is needed!! you might be getting a bit bored with it too i know i mess up when i start to lose interest in whatever and need to take a break from it!
