Talking about Records<\/p>\n

I got a good ride yesterday with the Supra 30 minutes and a bit. I wasn’t sure whether that was the longest flight I’ve had<\/p>\n

So I went back thru the records and found this<\/p>\n

\"20150706_145620-001\"<\/a><\/p>\n

From my notes last September and\u00a0 I see on Sept 26th I flew my scratch built BoT for 37 minutes.. I never really liked the looks of those when I was younger, and previously had a couple BoT Arfs’s one of which I understand is in storage somewhere in Halifax, in the summer at that..:):)<\/p>\n

Needless to say Dave Thornburg new what he was doing with these and they fly wonderful.<\/p>\n

It’s a true test of endurance keeping a plane up that long with one launch.<\/p>\n

Some of the hindrances are:<\/p>\n

1\u00a0 Flies, If it’s not black flies or mosquitos, there’s the venerable horse fly or moosefly<\/p>\n

2 Thirst If your there by yourself , take something to drink and have it handy<\/p>\n

3\u00a0 sweat, I find I get sweaty above the skin of my upper eyelid, and eventually that stings my eyes<\/p>\n

4 distractions, whatever they seem to crop up, even a rubber band in my case, which once\u00a0 resulted in me loosing my 1st BoT Arf<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So,<\/p>\n

Turns out after searching back, that happens to be my longest flight with a sailplane, with no motor in the nose.<\/p>\n

Here’s the build log<\/p>\n

Link<\/a><\/p>\n

\"20140919_184158-001\"<\/a> \"20140919_165034-001\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Build a BoT someday, the kits are cheap enough though the wood I hear is not the best, If your going for light, or let me know if you wanna give a scratched BoT a try.<\/p>\n
