    Went out yesterday and flew of my planes with floats off the new 1 ft. of snow UMX Timber the new UMX Turbo Timber, 2.1 Cessna 150, S 2 Cub, 60" Timber. E-Flite 1500 twin cargo plane, would have had the new Air Tractor out with floats on, but Horizon shorted me the mounting brackets and screw package waiting to receive that before the snow is gone LOL!!! here is one of the video's Temp 18 degrees sunshine and a slight 5 to 10 mph direct cross wind https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2p0P93lYAVM&t=18s

      I'll do you one better, by flying off water at 5183ft elevation with a stock power system. Very sluggish.

          This pilot has mad skills... or as I like to say.. is insane!
          He was tossing that jet around like a 3D plane!
          Short clip..sry.. I was too stunned to grab my phone in time.

                Here is a video I did of my detailed Air Tractor 402 with floats on flying off the snow we have left from the 12" we got Monday. I painted the floats to match the plane One of theses days I need to learn more on making a Hat cam video LOL!!!! Here is a photo of the planes I took out to fly today I ran out 26 batteries of various sizes Stating with the Air Tractor 402, PT-17, Dynum 50" By-plane, Spitfire UMX Turbo Timber, and the UMX Gee Bee R2, Also test flew my brother FMS 48" Ranger on floats and test flew another guys FMS King Fisher floats off the snow.

                  Got out with the unmistakable warthog this morning. Such a mean looking thing.

                  Headed back to the field later in the afternoon, despite some unfavourable wind conditions, to maiden the liberator. Uneventful. She hauls some serious butt for a 2m wingspan, cant wait to get it back up in some calm conditions.

                    First time flying my Freewing 90mm F-16 Arctic Camo with full ordinance AND tanks...Was very pleasantly surprised to discover there was no real difference with or without tanks.

                        Outstanding, looks like you got it dialed in nicely, beautiful landing. Bet she looks like a real beast in the air with that scheme and the ordinance! Welcome to the "I Love My F-16 Club"

                              LOL, yeah she's my trusty co-pilot AND she's learning to stay out of the way of the takeoff roll! Thanks for the comments!

                                Put the first test flight on three planes this morning. My new Havoc racer, an E-flite splendor, I was given a few days ago, and One of three E-Flite Turbo Otter's I am assembling for some family member's also flew my Dynam Waco and the E-flite PT-17. I would still be out flying but I have to go get my Private Pilot medical today.

                                  Hello Gents! We somehow managed to get seven aircraft in the air at the same time for some onboard video with only a few near misses. It was a fun day!.

                                    WBRC ………. I don't pay a lot of attention to the majority of flight videos posted on the web but yours always draw me in because of the 360 camera.
                                    So you must have a friend operating the camera operations while you're flying unless you have the unbelievable multitask skill set of some of the video FPS (first person shooter)
                                    gamers I have run into while shooting zombies and the sorts whereas they type 60+ wpm taunting less capable players all the while killing everything near them

                                      From what I understand, you edit what camera view you want afterwards. I heard it records the full 360 degree view and you choose where it "points" in the video.

                                        That's just so cool! What is the camera exactly? I may need to snag one of those!

                                          So, I tried to get my son (36) into flying with me. He just doesn't have the time.. or as much interest. He's had this Commander sittin in my hanger collecting dust for over a year now. Being he's retired Army (Tanker).. I told him about Motion's new tank line. Purchased the M1A2 and talked him into a trade! Cleaned 'er up.. fine tuned 'er.. and took 'er out for a maiden voyage this mornin. I've heard people's complaints on this plane, but she flew just fine for me. I did have to add a 1/2oz of lead up front, but CG is right in there. I like it.. fun flier.
