Ugly Bird - boring flight - great model

Postby coreservers » Sun Aug 26, 2007 6:35 am

TRied out the Piaggio p180 avanti
Fairly ugly bird, but pretty good to fly, well made model too.
An absolute swine to land at high altitude airfields. This is flying into Dushanbe in tajikistan. no clouds loads of boring desert. But.......
on entering the valley towards Dushanbe, the x winds pushed the wings over to 22 degrees!!!
