Flew the F-4 around sunset yesterday. Just can't get myself to fly it scale, you just have to fly it a little aggressive..:Cool:

I thought that was scale! LOLComment

In the early days of the Falcon development, General Dynamics did a demonstration "fly-off" between the F-4 and their new F-16. Both aircraft started their take-off roll at the same time. By the time the Phantom's wheels left the runway, the Falcon was already at 10,000 feet.
It might be fun for MRC to host a scale "rematch."

I was at Edwards AFB when they did it with an F-15...
it went through 15,000 as the F-4 nosewheel left pavement. This was in 1976. I think it hit 20 K before the F4 was airborne.Comment

Really windy here today ( +15 mph winds ) Put up my Aton quadcopter and then my TechOne No Gravity for some getting whipped around fun !Comment

Got done at work early as planned, ran a few batteries through this pair of Trainers. Winds were 8 - 12 right down the runway. Great for practice those approaches....
gotta get lower, gotta get lower
not slower...
Since I don’t mind doing a go-around, both are still airworthy.
My only problem was getting turned around during taxi back - wind disagreed. Might be time to disable the SAFE mode like I did with the PT-17Comment

Day 693: We laid my father to rest today, his wife, three children, five grandchildren and one great-granddaughter where there...he finished well:Cool:
After the graveside I came home and mowed the runway three times to get it good and clean for the fly-in tomorrow then I decided to maiden my Freewing 90mm Eurofighter. I had heard they were hard to take off on grass but she lifted right off and flew great, CG slightly rear of manual recommendation with a 6S 5000 all the way toward the rear, after 3:00 I landed with zero issues and had 3.84v left.

Your going to enjoy flying the Eurofighter, one of my favorites, it will do some nice AOA flybys and landings are so sweet looking.Comment
