    I wondered how long that would take you to notice...I crashed it yesterday...(broke prop) flying inverted under the wire and touching the tail on the runway...I touched it a little too much and caught the prop on the ground :Silly:

      • Day 578: Crazy beautiful day...73, sunny and wind coming straight down the runway.

        Got the Corsair back together and flew it, then I maidened my Durafly BF-109E. While it was so nice I decided to do some runway maintenance.

        • Luv the kill mark on the Corsair TI. Brings back memories of the gut wrenching sound of foam being shreaded through the bare branches of a tree. :Scared::a10 THWAACK!

                      It's alright...flys good...out of the box it had a dead retract (loose wire on motor) and a dead servo.

                      • I have 9 or so flights on my DF 109E. It flies great. It's been very difficult to handle on the ground though. It'll taxi okay, but it's squirrelly on the takeoff run.

                                It's a good plane, nice detail for the price.

                                • We fly a lot of formation. Sometimes the angle can fool you. We've had some close calls.

                                    Keep some blue sky between planes vertically and then you know you won;t hit. Don't change from high to low or vice versa without blue between nose and tail.

                                    or lead flies by 20-20 mod 1 eyeball and the rest fly by FPV. training the cameras to aim appropriately for their position in the formation.

                                    current planes from 1/2 oz to 22 lbs

                                    • Wow.......the last two days in these neck of the woods were record breaking temps in the low 70's but NO FLYING today.
                                      It's 35F with a couple inches of white crap so far. I just don't have the gumption like George does.:P

                                      • No fpv. Just mark 1 mod 0 eyeballs. And as a rule, nose high goes high.
