Posted: Mon Aug 04, 2014 2:31 pmOfficially the Milviz F4 isn't capable of multiplay use at this stage of its development; however, that's not enough to stop me and Ian from giving it a go anyway. It is a bit unstable in that the controls freeze from time to time and sometimes this even requires an aircraft reload to get them working again - that's ok if you a high but if you're at a lower altitude there is a bit of pressure to get the engines restarted before you hit the ground. The good thing is I'm getting much faster at restarting the engines with all this practice!
We flew for 50mins and I had to do 3 aircraft reloads in that time (mostly in the first 10 minutes). I soon found that moderate control movements resulted in far fewer and far less severe lockups.
Here are some shots from the flight. Tricky getting into position with the speed and slipperiness of these birds. BUT - it's GREAT FUN to fly!!
