The SR-71 used to be headquartered at Beale AFB, about 25 miles from my house, and we'd often see it coming in for a landing at Beale, circling as I'd be driving home from work in Marysville, CA in the 70s to the 90s. I was so sad when they discontinued those flights. You did an awesome job flying it for the first time! Really enjoyed the video! 👍

    The SR71 has always been one of my favorite aircraft. They were flying around at speeds no other plane or anti aircraft rounds could catch.
    My favorite part is by the time we (the country) knew of it it was time for it's retirement.
    Always makes you wonder what they have now that we know nothing about.
    Great plane and great flight. I would like to see a flat out speed run.

    Nice flight. It is a drone as the FAA define all of these as drones. So, since their definition matters more than anyone elses here, its a drone. Lol
    But, coming from 700 size helis to planes, theres still a bit of a learning curve coming from rotored aircrafts to fix wings. For one, planes stall at certain AoA and speeds where we don't need to worry about that.
    But, wouldn't a person who flies multi rotor FPVs exclusively have orientation problems when nose in? The control directions would be reversed. Ive had real full scale pilots tell me RC planes orientation was difficult because of that.

    • @CAPTAINDRONE798
      @CAPTAINDRONE798  10 місяців тому +1

      Flying drones is the identical orientaion issue (joysticks inputs on right are reversed when coming at you) so simple for people who are used to drones or Helis.
