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.

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 yourselves

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

Sounds like you should let your CO do all the flying from now on, or invest in a chain saw.Originally posted by Elbee View PostHey y'all, A beautiful day in middle America, 55o and wind 3-6 wsw. Unusual, but great for my CO and I.

You can probably use some more firewood for this winter.
