RC PC9 Roulette Training Day: Flight Seventeen

Powered by a 25 E flite brushless motor and a 65A DualSky ESC. The setup runs on a 5000mAh 14.8V 4S LiPo, giving it plenty of punch for solid aerobatic performance.

Flight Review:
The flight began with a takeoff towards the south, and from the start it turned into a bit of a pilot instruction session. Scott had just purchased his first proper RC aircraft, so I used the opportunity to demonstrate basic aerobatic capability while also talking through landing approaches.

The first few circuits were focused on touch and goes and approach setup, keeping everything calm and controlled. Once confidence was building, we stepped things up and moved into higher level aerobatic flying to really show what the airframe could do.

The highlight was a very high spin at 5:40, cutting the throttle on the dive and letting it wind up fast. I counted seven or eight full rotations before recovering cleanly and setting up for a complete stop landing.

It is always good having someone watching and sharing the flight. That is one of the main reasons I enjoy putting these flights on the channel, and I am keen to hear your feedback on how this aircraft flies.
