What did you fly today?

[Hugh Wiedman]

Got out with a few yesterday including the Mig-29 and SU-30. "The Russians are Coming" as RudyD54 brought his out as well! Videos will follow at a later date. Both Mig's have the upgraded FMS 3280-2100Kv 12 blade inrunners (where do you think I got the idea from) and the SU-30 has the upgraded FMS 3060-1900Kv 12 blade inrunners, but more important, finally finished the 2 battery modification recommended by radfordc and got the first flights with them in. Should have done it sooner, the "Only way to Fly". Fits either 2 SMC 4500's or 2 SMC 5300's. How sweet it is!!!

It was the 'Flight of the Old Ladies' day
My Pitts, Bearcat One and the E Flite Spitfire.
The Pitts is on her 8th season, the Spitfire and Bearcat are on their 7th, all three have done the trip to NEFI in Muncie, I bought the Spitfire at NEFI as a matter of fact.

The Pitts is done up as Dave Scotts Pitts and yes, he's flown it, the Bearcat actually crashed at NEFI and habited the junk box for a few years and the Spitty has broke her nose off and has been repaired. I removed the stock receiver as I had no luck with it and installed a Lemon gyro/receiver instead. I fly her with 3600 4s batteries and its very scale like, much better than 3s.

DC,
I'm using the 10" warbird pilots. They came with green flight suits and white helmets. I painted the helmets myself... I did shorten the figures about an inch... and the flight suits were made by a friends daughter. The gear is from the soldier story army aircrew figures.

Oh, so custom made, I think they look great, if you ever want to sell them, let me know....

[sfcfury]

Looks awesome, kind of looks like the one I have... So what pilots are those you have in the cockpit and where did you get them?? I didn't sell the Cobra and its more of a display at the moment, wanted to get some pilots for it but can't seem to find the right size.

Local airfield did some cooking and flying for the 4th... brought the cobra fresh off of it's 40 test flight from the house to the field...
The video is from the home test flight... didn't get any video at the field... just some pics.

Reckem Roys custom OV10!

[Hugh Wiedman]

Video of my B-24 from a week ago. Our grass runway is now full of potholes and ant mounds, makes for an interesting take-off! Luckily I didn't find those on the landing.

[Mad Baron]

Got the maiden flight on my Vulcan today. I had to put in a lot of expo to get tamed down but it flew great!

[Hugh Wiedman]

Amazing Hugh, is that the 80mm?

No, that's the Freewing 90mm. I installed a Castle 130 Amp ESC and the 12 blade 4068-1835 Kv Inrunner that I fly using a SMC 8100 mah graphene battery, weight 903 gr. Gives me easy 5 minutes of flight time and since SMC's have some of the highest actual C (forget the labeled C), I get maximum thrust drawing about 121 A and 2990 watts. I always liked the "Wild Weasel" tail and was usually the only one flying it until HH came out with the 80mm F-16 with that tail, and it kinda teed me off (I like to have something no one else does). A friend I fly with has a Freewing F-16 (on 8S) and the E-Flight 80mm F-16. He loves the FW F-16 (as I do) but his E-Flight F-16 is a bit of a problem child. Probably doesn't matter, I'm sure HH will discontinue it soon, like they do everything else.

Maiden, plus 5 today with my F-16. Felt very good flying it after the 3rd flight. Got it all trimmed out by then.

What to do when you just can't pick one livery. Like my HP printer, go with a 4 in 1! My solution for inflation! Takes 5 minutes to change "clothes" at the field.

No repaint. Stock.

My mistake, Sir. In any event, very nice work, she's a beauty. The vertical graphics are amazing for OEM. Best, LB

[Lon]

Lon, nice repaint, too. Lookin' good, Sir. Best, LB

No repaint. Stock.

[Coconut]

I don't think that's a repaint. It's stickers that the plane came with. I put the Wild Weasels South Carolina ones on mine.
