Yes sir we do, I haven't flown mine in several months, time to get it down and do some flights with it, it was just to hot here in Ca. for a few months, but its finally cooling down now so no excuse for me, took the 800 size Hughes 500D Magnum PI out yesterday for a flight, little rusty at the controls but it flies so good that it makes me look like a good pilot.....

More fun with the Reno Aces Corsair!

F1, Wow, great photos of some of your aircraft. Beautiful models of which the heli and Mercury capsule shot is quite realistic. Bravo Zulu, Sir. Best, LBOriginally posted by F106DeltaDart View Post
Ps: Your B-17, which manufacturer?

Thanks Elbee! Was definitely happy with how the capsule recovery shots turned out. Ended up getting pretty close to the original photo that I was trying to replicate:Originally posted by Elbee View Post

As for the B-17, it is the Hobbyking 1875mm model, modified with scale sized props and the retracts from the Freewing B-17.Comment

Got the Robans out today, did mostly hovering because I haven't flown for a bit, also wanted to see how my new pilot looked in the Magnum PI and with the lights on, I think he looks about the right scale, need to get some pilots in the Cobra now, not sure what size I need though to look right, here they are after hovering, they are ready to be put away again until I get more time to take them out for some full flights.

For the cobra, I used the 10" warbird pilots. He sent with the white helmets and I painted them the color I wanted them. I did chop about an inch off of them... which is easy to do with the warbird pilots.

[QUOTE=sfcfury;n361358]Oh good, thanks for the info sir, the 15" pilot in the Hughes 500 is from Warbird pilots as well, I had to chop that one down too, he was just to tall and hitting his head on the top of the cabin window, it was hard to take a pair of scissors to a $110 pilot but once I made up my mind, I went for it......Originally posted by DCORSAIR View PostGot the Robans out today, did mostly hovering because I haven't flown for a bit, also wanted to see how my new pilot looked in the Magnum PI and with the lights on, I think he looks about the right scale, need to get some pilots in the Cobra now, not sure what size I need though to look right, here they are after hovering, they are ready to be put away again until I get more time to take them out for some full flights.

The P-51 & P-40 looks great in flite metal, or aluminum tape.
I took a FPV flight chasing a big ViperJet at full speed. Very smooth lead pilot in calm air. Lots of fun!YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/motionsic

I wanted to test out the old WW1 & WW2 ace pilot adage of waiting until a bandit fill up the windscreen before pulling the trigger. So I went up against a FW F-22 Raptor in my Viper 90 to see if indeed I can follow closely for a gun attack. It did not turn out as I expected...YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/motionsic

Nice Lancaster Kallend!
Thanks Coconut! We don't normally notice wake turbulence flying from the ground. That was a surprise!
Nice camera angle DCorsair! Makes the smooth flying Cobra look scale. Consider adding another perspective from the cockpit, get double the enjoyment

Got this Raptor 50 awhile back and finally got it out for a maiden today. Spent the past few evenings getting it set up and back to "airworthy" status. Always great to get out and burn some nitroComment

Sweet, I do remember those Raptor days, that heli sold like crazy when it came out, had several myself, nothing like flying a Raptor on nitro....

I have 2 others on the shelf. I think one will stay as a parts donor and the other I picked up on Marketplace not too long ago. Motor is seized and I think I'm gonna convert it to electricComment
