RC Slope Soaring (hangflyg, hangflug) Location: Fjärås Bräcka, west coast of Sweden Weather: 5(9) m/s west, 13 degC Model: Nano Floh /Mini Micro Flea Pilot: Kristoffer R Camera: Mobius (mounted on my bike helmet)
I recently took up RC again after a ten-ish year hiatus and this is my first re-visit to Bräckan. According to the older guys of my previous club KMFK it used to be perfect in the 70's but now too many trees. Still very flyable though!
Weather was logged by SMHI station in Fjärås, the wind was brutally hard on the edge and blew my helmet back and also the plane as you can see.
My Nano Floh from is over ten years old and was sold as the Mini Micro Flea by Nasko Hobby in Sweden. I'm not sure if you could still buy it but it's truly brilliant and the only plane I held on to (of about a dozen) when I left the hobby.
I use a Multiplex Smart SX transmitter, mode 2 setup. The V-tail is configured to do elevator only.
The battery pack is a Sanyo Eneloop 4xNiMH AAA size. I usually plug it straight into the reciever but today I ran a on/off switch + cables inbetween. With the canopy held by magnet so the pack can fly out during a hard landing and not rip the reciever out too, proved useful since it happened a couple of times.
Fjärås Bräcka is a worthy place for a visit also without RC planes.
