With my background in aviation, I was interested in flying airplanes too. While looking around for something Nice and easy to fly, I stumbled upon the Durafly Tundra. I knew I had to have one right away! A STOL plane with large Tundra tires, and flaps would be ideal to fly at the clearing next to the camping. A slow flyer of significant size (1300mm wingspan), so that it would still be well visible at a few hundred meters away. At a price of less than €200, it would be within my range in a couple of months of saving. But then I saw an add for a second-hand one, with 4 batteries included, for €170. Apparently, I responded just in time, because the next day i could go pick it up! This guy had started building it, but it had sat on his bench for almost half a year without any progress already, so he had decided to sell it. So it was practically new, a touch cheaper, and it came with 4 batteries 😃 I had to learn to fly, of course, so I knew I was going to crash a couple of times. I did no...
This blog is all about my flying adventures with unmanned vehicles like drones, and model airplanes. Initial focus will be on my self-built drone project. As time progresses, I'll fly different drones and airplanes, undoubtedly, because this is such an addictive hobby!
