Slc bi jf.
SLC-standing for 'slow-low-close', was my first attempt some month back to build a 6mm Depron mini Bi-plane, with the use of some bits and pieces in my junk box of spares. Ending more less as a failure, bit of a dog to fly especialy in bit of wind. Much too heavy for its size, at over 500 grams+ AUW on 3S/800mA even as a bi-winger.
It has been sitting for a while unflown after building much lighter ones ever since, but took it out again for couple of twilight flights in dead calm to check my reflexes, LOL.
Not so slow, and a bit safer to keep it higher and slightly further! LOL.
Back in action after a break.
Too heavy at 550 grams.
Not so slow as expected, bit of a handle!

Twilight fun over the fence sports field with one of my F3P skeleton Pattern design in absolute perfect dead calm. Same as indoor conditions.
Few more runs after minor wing tip design improvements.
Originally built as 1S Coax power set up.
Now much livelier as 2S on single axis power unit.
Sky is the limit.
