Harbor Freight Yellow Bee - Plane # 2 - Flight # 2
Well I decided to wake up early this morning and head over to the park to see if I could get some flight time in. There was a slight breeze with a couple of gusts of wind but I decided to give it a try anyway.
Actual Flight Time
After a few adjustments to the plane I go about 5 minutes of total flight time in without ant major crashes. I even was able to have a couple of smooth landings - cool.
Near the end the wind was picking up more and more and the on one gust it caused the plane to nose dive into the ground which caused the plastic nose to crack. I snapped the it back together and it looks like it will not affect the plane.
The other thing is that my tape job on the wing started to falter so that was starting to affect the performance. I decided to call it day and head to work. A storm is blowing in so it looks like it might be the weekend before I can give it another try.
Replacement Parts for the Yellow Bee
An another note I found out that you can get individual replacement parts from Harbor Freight. I ended up ordering a new circuit board so that I can have 2 planes operational. Cost for the circuit board was $9 and $6.99 for shipping.
I can tell that this is going to be a very, very fun hobby.
P.S. Above are pics of the wing where it breaks and it after it is fixed.
