Fixed-wing foundations. Rotary-wing ambition.

From the first powered flight at Kitty Hawk by Wilbur Wright and Orville Wright,
to vertical mastery pioneered by Igor Sikorsky —

The lineage is clear.

The Lockheed Martin C-130J Super Hercules represents strength and precision in fixed-wing flight.
The Bell 429 GlobalRanger represents control, agility, and the future of my rotorcraft journey.

Legacy built the runway.
Rotor RPM carries it forward.

Spent way more time than expected to resurrect this fixed wing. In the end the only thing that actually survived was the foam in about a dozen little pieces. O4, FC, ESC all gone. Fresh new FC, sacrificial Vista, lots of 3D printing and gluing. Let's how these X hours of fixing translate into flight time :)

"Not a single person EVER has died due to recreational use of drones. This is one of the safest hobbies."

he's right (although there might be lots of pilots hurt somewhat)

Worldwide regislation against drones is ridiculous.

This is why the public hates drones (rant)
