I just finished uploading a video I took this morning. We went out early 5 am to beat the heat The video was of the 4th flight I made with it today. The first three I made numerous touch and go's, flaps up, 1/2 flaps, full flap. On this last flight I took the video of Right around the last low fly by with full flaps gear up I started climbing out put the flaps up at the same time and it took a quick dive. To say the least I was not ready for that kind of excitement. LOL !!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9T_ua_8s9g

Way to go Enoch, you have restored my faith in the "next generation". But more importantly, I have to take my hat off to DAD. RCjetdude my compliments on encouraging him to do it and standing by his side. That's what I would call an "A number 1 Dad" and you have every right to be enormously proud of him!

During the week that would normally be the EAA Oshkosh Airshow, a friend and I decided to get as many models to the field as possible, and try out some formation flying. Had a lot of fun flying the F-16, B-17, B-24, Spitfire, Sea Fury, and Bell 47 this morning. It was the closest I could get to Warbird Alley for this year. Will be looking forward to next year's show.6 Photos

F106DeltaDart that B-17 looks great, what was the manufacturer of that? Still hoping FW will do at least a 2000mm B-17 some day to join up with their B-24.Hugh "Wildman" Wiedman

Hey G-man I hear what your saying about the wind. Same thing down here in Cheyenne. Wind in Wyoming is nothing new but haven't seen it this bad in a while. Wind is usually out of the west or north but most of the time it has been the opposite. Out of the east and south. So far not a good year for flying let alone the virus.

After a mid week maiden/trimming flight, put 7 packs through the 90mm F15 today and got the AS3X dialled in nicely.
It may not be the most acrobatic foamy around, but damned if it doesnt stop everyone on the flightline in their tracks when it takes to the skies. Really enjoying the challenge of managing energy in the 'super scale' planes.

Had the RV-8 out and the Pitts. Got 4 flights on the RV-8 and two on the Pitts, made an old guy mistake and left my spare batteries for the Pitts at home, but managed to squeeze a couple of flights on her with the battery I had. I replaced the tires with Dave Browns on the Pitts, this is the set I got from Ryan many moons ago at Nefi and hadn't installed them. They require a slight amount of drilling and after that its a straight forward swap out. Makes a huge difference, as I said before, like landing on a mattress!
On a more maddening note, I had MLG out as well, she ran right off the side of the runway and sheared her prop blades off, popped one retract out, broke a gear door ( of course, they always do) and a couple of skid marks, nothing irreparable. The problem, the danged clevis that steers the tailwheel sheared its pin. Its always something with a FW Mustang and you learn to love with it. I'll pull the rod out and replace the clevis with a metal one. Ho Hum....

Can you recommend a site that has good info on getting started in head tracking FPV? (Recommended hardware etc.) I'm quite nearsighted and that's probably a factor for choice of goggles/monitors.)
Thanks for the vid!
