What did you fly today?

DCORSAIR I noticed you flying the Futaba 16IZ. How do you like it? I've been looking at it for myself. Best, LB

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.

Here is the HSD F-16 I flew today

Nice looking F16 and details. Pilot is warbirds.com pilot or a different one?

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.

Flew my Belgian F-16 today, it's all stock and flies great, this one is lighter than the General Dynamics F-16 I flew yesterday because of the non scale cockpit details and other features this one doesn't have compared to the GD version.

About to Maiden the fresh rebuilt 64mm Freewing F16

[shortround91]

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

That's one nefarious looking F16, congrats on the refresh!

[shortround91]

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 flies

Hey y'all, A beautiful day in middle America, 55^o 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

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..

Sounds like you should let your CO do all the flying from now on, or invest in a chain saw. You can probably use some more firewood for this winter.
