Over the weekend I picked up my old RC plane which was in the back of a wardrobe at mums place. It was still damaged from its last flight, half the tail was broken off. I managed to fix that fairly quickly on sunday, and got out for a flight in the afternoon.

The plane was horrible to fly, it continuously pitched up and i couldn't get it flying level. Then about 2 minutes into the flight, the battery starts winding down while I was only 10 metres above the ground. So the plane took a decent dive and hit the ground hard, which broke the battery mount.

I had that glued back together by the evening, and gave the battery a good charge (9.6V 600mAh battery and it took 900mAh!). This morning I was ready to go for another flight, I peaked the battery and headed off.

30 minutes later...

September Fury took another big hit to the ground, this time even worse. I mounted the battery a bit further forward, and that did a great job at correcting the pitching problem. I had probably 8 minutes of flight, after the nerves settled down it was quite fun. It did seem to like rolling right more than left, i think the battery was moving around still.  

Another 30 minutes later...

September Fury will fly again! Soon its going to be made of more glue than foam.
