    • I had the chance to get out and fly a few of the planes I have ready to test fly for the first time. These three I just flew on April 12 here in Rapid City SD not the best day but all three flew with no problems. The Little F9F-Panther is a kick in the pants to fly love the Optional gear for take offs and landings.

      • Nice calm early morning for some flights on the HSD T-33 EDF 120mm, got out to my runway before the sun was up, assembled it and got the first flight as the sun was just rising, that's how I like to fly, 5 flights so far and got this one dialed in nicely, I crashed my first one about a month ago after 40 flights so this is a replacement, great flying jet.

          DC. Beautiful Airplane, Sir. Love the size. Is it the 120 EDF or a turbine? Best, LB

            Yes it is the 120mm EDF version, one of these days I would love to get a turbine version and try my hand at that, never flown a turbine, not sure I will get the chance, 39yrs in this hobby, not sure how much longer I will keep flying, slowly losing interest now days, can't find the time to fly much these days, with work and family chores taken up most of my extra time.....

                What a thrill to fly her again, I did notice that she doesn't have the power she had with the 780 kv's since I went back to the stock motors, but that's okay, I always loved to just fly the pattern with her and enjoy the visual. If I decide in the future to upgrade again, I think the LX B 25 props may be the way to go. Have to check with Mr. Brown on that.

                    • Nice flight and landing. Did you put a whistle in it, or it just sounds like that from the factory?

                                    • Today I felt like taking a few prop jobs to the field and one 64mm F9F Panther from motion with stationary gear. an E-flite PT-17 I do a lot of go pro video's with I just velcro the Go pro 7 White to the top of the wing on the black spot you can see the Vecro I Mount it with Two different T-28's ,a Freewing OV-10, and the E-flite P-39 Aero Cobra. I had enough batteries to fly for hours my Brother and I started at 6 am and flew off and on until about 10:30 What a great time with just a slight cross wind. Test flew the new Twin Timber from E-Flite for My brother the Twin Timber has a wide envelope of flight characteristics From mild, almost docile to wild extremes. Love the diff. thrust and the thrust reversing great flying plane

                                        A change of perspective would reignite interest in the hobby. I have been flying RC since 1990. Was finding it harder and harder going to the field 5 years ago flying the same maneuvers. A new plane once in a while gave the interest a boost. But after it’s all trimmed out and a dozen flights in, the excitement wanes. So I explored head-tracking FPV inside the cockpit to fly from pilot’s perspective. That opend up opportunities to learn from full scale pilot training material. It’s like learning to fly all over again with new awe, wonder and challenges, all with existing planes in the hangar. Much longer lasting high than Maiden of a new plane. Then, being able to fly formation and dogfights with friends add new layers of experience never possible before flying conventionally. Now I can’t wait to get to the field every week. Sometimes twice a week flying with friends like this😉
