    Got 4 flights in on the T-45 today. Had to get replacement servos for the elevator and one of those was bad too. It was a bad solder job on the pot. I re-soldered it and flew today.

    This was flight #3 of 4. First two had gear issues due to the fact that I had plugged the ESC power lead into one of the elevator slots on the board. Re-plugged it to the RSSI port on my X8R and all was well.
    At 0:33 I was saying "all tucked up" in reference to the gear.

    Flew her with Admirals and a Turnigy HD 5000. All performed nicely.

    Those ATC folks get a Gold Star for helping me get through this stuff last Thursday! Glad your Goshawk is all dialed in.

        F-15 Down!!! (Almost) :) Loaded up and headed to one of my flying sites this morning. Yes, knew of fog forecast..but it's got to lift sooner or later....waited over an hour at the site, yeh, no problem now...keep her low. lift off, gear up..right bank and level off, keep her low...looking good...WHAT!! WHERE!! CRAP!! There it is....oh man...thumbs and hands shaking...flips switch, gear down...flaps down...greased the landing. BIG SIGH!!! No doubt one of my shortest flights...but I got her back down. Dang!! That fog base was ALOT lower than i thought, and believe there was a small area that had really dropped back down that was coming thru.
        The photo was taken within a minute after landing...Not that foggy?? Fooled me...sigh

                      So true! But for that couple seconds, it didn't matter what color it was.

                              I brought out my f18 and P38. And today after surgery my A10 has risen from the ashes.

                                    Hopefully that sign is ready to cut up for some landing gear - I need a new set for the MEN Trainer
