SE Texas fall pattern practice

This time of year the weather is perfect to spend time outdoors especially in SE Texas. With the absence of the hot summer heat making the air turbulent, the conditions both dawn and near dust are ideal for practicing,  testing, and making tweaks to new/old, pattern equipment.

After experiencing the improved flight characteristics in my EPIC Evo and Invitation G2 with the D3 ESCs I chose to reach back and update the ESC in a reliable competitive platform, Epic+ with Adam Debowski's D3 controller too.  The results are amazing.  When a non-pattern flying club member on the sidelines comments, "how are you able to achieve similar downline airspeed as your upline airspeed", pretty much confirms the upgrade was worth it. Yesterday and today I logged several flights, fine-tuning setups on the D3 equipped Epic+ which first flew in  2018.  I am pleased the upgrade from the Castle HV 85 Lite and setup changes were worth the effort. I am excited in logging more flights to this Hacker C50 14XL powered airframe now with the D3 and improve its competitiveness even more
