New addition to the fleet, Xperience Pro

Since I was contemplating entering the F3J as well as the F5J category in the National championships I urgently needed a ready to fly F3J plane. I was fortunate to get my hands on a very nice Xperience Pro but with only 1 weekend before the contest I did not have much time to practice on the winch!

XPro ready for early morning test and trimming flight.

As things turned out I never got a chance to practice winch launching as the times I could go to the flying field the club winches were not there. I did manage to build a bungee and get a few launches but it is not quite the same!

 Practice, a few bungee launches

Pike and XPro, final pre Nationals practice.

The final practice session went well, the Pike was flying well and I decided that it will be my primary F5J plane as well as the backup F3J plane (with prop removed) as it still has the towhook!
