Sig Four Star 40Kit built, purchased Spring, 2005.
November 11, 2005Today we had unseasonably warm weather (high of 61F!) so I shifted around my work schedule so i could fly in the afternoon. I replaced my aging/ailing transmitter battery and needed to test the new one.The 4* is a lot of fun to fly ... quick, nimble, easy inverted flight, tracks really well through loops, does outside loops with ease, does nice rolls. It makes the pilot look a lot better than he really is. :-) For the first time in my life, I took off, climbed a bit, rolled inverted before the first turn and flew for a while inverted. Usually I wait until I'm really up high to try that scary stuff, but the 4* does such a good job it softly beckons to me ... "come on, fly inverted, do it lower, how about a roll 20 feet off the deck, you can probably do it ..." |
