Team Volare (me and son Jack) again ventured north to Flint, MI to participate in the June FAC contest.\u00a0 The events were a little limited as many people had to rush off around 3pm, so that cut flying a bit short.\u00a0 However, Jack and I managed to pull in 3 Kanones – one for me in Races and TWO for Jack in Scale and Embryo.<\/p>\n
It was a good time helping him earn those wins.\u00a0 He had needed three flights in Embryo with about 1\/2 hour left in the contest.\u00a0 He put up two great flights and needed a third.\u00a0 The CD was itching to go, as he had afternoon commitments.\u00a0 Jack was all prepped and ready for that third flight when, just as he was starting to place the noseblock in after winding, a single strand on the two-strand motor snapped.<\/p>\n
There we were with a fully wound motor and an a couple of stray ends starting to unravel.\u00a0 I had him pull the motor out a bit while I tried to get the lubed (and wound!) motor tied up.\u00a0 Finally, after about 5 minutes we finally got a semi durable knot in the motor.\u00a0 He had two maxes and needed about 1:30 on the last flight to grab first.\u00a0 We walked out to the table, he turned in some hand turns to try to recapture that lost torque, so crucial on an ROG launch.\u00a0 He managed a 1:45 flight, well over the time he needed for first.<\/p>\n
Here is a shot of his Big Cat Embryo from last Saturday.\u00a0 Here is a link to the June meet gallery:\u00a0 https:\/\/volareproducts.com\/blog\/?page_id=53&album=2&gallery=14<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Team Volare (me and son Jack) again ventured north to Flint, MI to participate in the June FAC contest.\u00a0 The events were a little limited as many people had to rush off around 3pm, so that cut flying a bit … Continue reading ![\"CBjun2013-13\"](\"https:\/\/volareproducts.com\/new2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/CBjun2013-13.jpg\")
