  • Had this weekend a couple of nice flights with these planes (interesting mix of prop and EDF models). All of the real planes once took off from a carrier - even the B-25 ;-)

    • Nice!!!! I have all of those... Great set of planes. The Wildcat gear bugs me, since they move so fast. I am going to try to add a resistor to slow them down.... Beautiful field too!! Jerry

        GH61, Great looking aircraft, Sir. Best, LB

        • Thank you Jerry and LB! The field is a closed down military airfield in the Swiss Alps. Hawker Hunter were stationed there till around 1990:

            Who's the manufacturer of that B-25? Looking at what's probably the same model at Banana and Hobbyforless, but want to know where you got that one.

            • Hi Valkpilot, it is the FMS B-25 1470mm model. Added some "goodies" as bomb-bay doors, turning gun turret (linked to the ailerons) and the FMS P-51 gear sequencer to close the gear doors when the gear is down.

                  Yeah, with my luck it all ways seems like I find something I like and it's out of production.

                      • ​ Found some time to get this - from our website for Arizona Model Pilots Society (AMPS) Field. Over 750 flights on his CZ T-28. Likely the RX battery had a loose wire, but not sure due to crash damage. Same pilot lost his Hellcat in my discussion of the Castle ESC. And, both did the same thing...nor response to control input

                          Check around your field for new cell towers or satellite dishes. I recall reading somewhere that they sometimes cause problems for Spektrum radio gear.

                          • I picked up a bunch of helicopter stuff at a show this weekend and was able to hammer this thing out and fly it today.
                            Its a 700 size body with a T-Rex 600 (700 boom), I had a Brain2 BT I put in it.

                                    That was fast! Nice work! Now it just needs a 5 blade head!

                                    • got 8 flights on my A-10, and 8 on my FMS BF109F Desert Camo.

                                      There was another 109 at the field as well, but he just bought the plane, so no tandem flying.

                                      So when is flightline going to make a 109? The FMS is a great flier, but I would still get the FL if released.

                                        • Haven't been flying much do to work my schedule, but this morning I decided to get a couple of flights in, then one flight led to another then another. Look closely in the pictures and you can see the Ca. High speed rail project closing in on me, I thought I wouldn't have a runway by now but I am still flying until they tell me not too or they mess up my runway and jump over on my side.
