What did you fly today?

👍 which P40 is that?

[davegee]

I had Silver Bird Day at the field. Got a couple of flights on the P40 and one on the Mustang. Still having recurring gear problems with the Mustang, keeping them aligned. Probably time I just broke down and replaced the mains from the retract on down. They are over 6 years old after all.
Both birds look great in the air, the P 40 is a little difficult to keep an eye on when coming straight at you. All you can see is the white and blue spinner. I may ad some red to the end of the nose just to help seeing her. Both flew fine.

Everyone came home happy. Man it was getting hot out there, supposed to get into the 90's today.

I LOVE summer! This morning was another beautiful one, light winds, beautiful sunshine, and temps in the mid-60s. I took my Flightline 1600mm Corsair and my E Flite Beechcraft 18 for some flights. Everything went great, takeoffs equalled landings, and I packed everything up and brought them home for their next "mission" in a few days.

Cheers

Flew my Old School Model Works 56 today, it flew great. Only had one flight in before a bad storm came through and cancelled any more flying for the day.

In my personal salute to the beginning of the Independence holiday weekend and next week, I flew my P-47D OLE' COCK and my B-2 Spirit bomber Spirit of Missouri.

It was a beautiful morning to fly very light winds which allowed me to put the B-2 up in the air. Even at its model size, it really is impressive to watch flyby. As long as winds are light or calm, I feel pretty confident to takeoff, fly, and land it on our very rough runway. I can only imagine what it would have been like operating out of a smooth runway like at an airport or something. Still it works for me. Both of these planes have around 27 flights on them now.

Have a great Independence Day weekend, everyone!🎈🎈🎈

Cheers

Calm winds today but broiling hot. Got 4 flights each on my Extreme Flight Extra, Eurofighter, Mig 29 and F-18. The more I fly the Eurofighter, the more I like it. Lands easier than anything I've got. The Mig is flying nicely with the TV nozzles and it too is super smooth on landing. Ringing out the F-18 finally after I replaced the flap servos with Hitec ones and now they are working beautifully, FINALLY! What a pain the stock ones were for me (on both my F-18's), most of the time at least one would not deflect while in flight leaving it tough to fly until they were brought up.

E6, It sounds like it was a gorgeous day to be flying a gorgeous airframe. Nicely done, Sir. Best, LB

Great weather here in Ohio today. A few flights on this A-4

Looks great, always one of my favorites to fly, I got out of the 80mm jets but have to say that the A-4 was one of my favorites and a good flyer too.

[DCORSAIR]

Dude! DCORSAIR You are living the dream with TC's bird!

You are so right, 30+ years I have dreamed of flying a big Magnum PI version Hughes 500D, a big Thanks to Roban I have been flying this one for about three yrs now, its been a great flying heli too, I do my regular maintenance on it and that's only greasing the gears every 3 flights, those gears are a failure point on these Roban kits, got to keep them well lubed...
