Sounds like you should let your CO do all the flying from now on, or invest in a chain saw.Hey y'all, A beautiful day in middle America, 55o and wind 3-6 wsw. Unusual, but great for my CO and I.
Tammy is flying for only her 2nd time in her life. We got her the Skynetics 400mm de Havilland Tiger Moth.
With the gyro on, she has only lost orientation a few times and has gone past her BVR only twice.
I was watching both times so she got the plane back with some verbal queues.
I on the other hand, allowed the little 400mm Skynetics P-51 too much time alone on "Manual" Mode and hung it in a tree about 100 yards from my position.
That was as close to my own BVR circle as I am comfortable, so I still remain a "L.B." as even the tree was gentle to that OLD CROW and I got her back with the aid of a old extension pole.
I hope all is well with each and everyone of y'all.
I wish you a Very Merry Christmas, too.
Best, LB
You can probably use some more firewood for this winter.

Withe the pitts. Still in it.. was trying to get just the smaller branch.. oh well.. lesson don't do touch n go with trees close in the background..

Thank ya the black definitely pops for my eyes much more than the grays do. Ordered micro LED’s for it and a few power upgrades I’m still amazed how well it fliesLeave a comment:

Well can’t say enough for being a relatively new pilot this fresh rebuild flies amazing. I did up throws on ailerons to 120% reduced expo to 15% handles amazing the mix wax 2 coats of clear seem to make her cut through the wind much better. 4 flights so far hopefully many more to come today. Y’all have a great day hopefully you get some flight time yourselvesLeave a comment:

Yes I do believe its the warbird one, my buddy sold me this HSD F-16 and he likes detailed cockpits so it was included, the pilot moves his head side to side slowly, looks really cool but adds a lot of weight with the detailed cockpit to, I have to place my two 5000 lipos all the way back to the board and still had to add some weight in the tail to balance.Leave a comment:

I have been using Futaba for 40 yrs this year actually and there were some radios along the way they made I didn't care for but this one I really like so much I gave up my good old trusty Futaba 7C which I have been using for the past 15 years or so, even though I still use it for my big scale helis, I need to change them over to this new 16IZ, have yet to set up a heli on this radio, looks easy to do and has a lot of features for helis, the 16IZ is light, very thin and comfortable even with my big hands, it just works for me, I see they released the Super version 16IZ, not sure of all the new features on it but will look into it.DCORSAIR I noticed you flying the Futaba 16IZ. How do you like it? I've been looking at it for myself. Best, LBLeave a comment:

Lookin' Nice, Hugh!!👍👍👍Got out a couple of times this last week to enjoy our "cooler" weather (now only 84 degrees
). I'm now flying exclusively on the SMC HiV packs, gotta love 'em.
The 6S 5900's (most of the aircraft) or the 4400's for the Extreme Flight birds and the twin battery SU-30. And the 8S 4400's/5900's for the Euro and the additional just order 8S F4 (like I need another F4
). Sold or discarded all the other packs which numbered over 100 and 30 different makes/sizes. Trying to simplify things, to match my brain.
