I sure do admire you guys that jump into the turbine arena. I’m not there yet, but it sure is something that interests me. Congrats on getting your waiver 406!
First day of the year for me at out the field. Warmer, sunny, and light winds, too much to resist! Got in a few flights on this “rescued” Antic Monoplane, which was a winter project.

Thanks to Cliff (dlktdr) for the open source head-tracker build! I am really enjoying the wireless head-tracker feature not worrying about tugging the trainer chord. I move my head a lot in flight. Smooth, fast, and precise tracking meaning not having to recenter HT at all during flight is great. I forget HT is there just feel I am one with the plane; dare I say like a fighter pilotYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/motionsic

Got the Bearcat up again today for a couple of flights, the wind was down for the most part, but the temp dropped off and we ended up getting snow in the afternoon. This is actually parts from Bearcat one two and three and the Tigercat. That 760kv motor is deadly, it goes faster than the stock motor when I'm only pushing half throttle. Wide open and its like the Avanti!

Flew my A-4E this morning. Third flight on this airframe. Had to replace the fuse a while back, all other components are original to the first. Still getting used to it, even though I had one a few years ago that had tons of flights on it before I sold it. Supposed to get some snow/rain showers tomorrow, but I might try to sneak out and fly before that comes in.

Sharing a fun “follow the leader” flight video chasing my friend’s FW L-39. It’s hard for the lead to shake off the pursuit with good head-tracking FPV setup. Enjoy!YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/motionsic

I actually did get out this morning, as the weather is starting to move in. But it was really good flying conditions and very little wind. Took my E Flite P-51D out this morning and got a couple of flights in; hadn't flown it since last fall. But it flew like a champ. I took a couple of pics before I packed it up to come back home. This is a total repaint of the stock blue version of this plane, to look like how the real one was in WWII. Just repainted the invasion stripes on the fuse as they were not properly aligned after the repaint.

Cheers
