    I didn't fly today but I did fly yesterday morning bright and early, I like to get out early right before full sunrise. I really enjoy flying my HSD T-33 and I like that's it's Futaba S-bus ready, nice and a very clean setup.

    You're the one on the sticks, not me, I only work in the maintenance department, so take the credit for being an awesome pilot!!

    Flying a few of the regulars again on Friday. Really enjoying Thrust Vectoring on the Mig and Avanti. Would love to see that on a few more fighter jets.

    Got out late last week with a few favorites and for once the weather (and wind) was beautiful. I upgraded the horizontal stabs on my 2 90mm F-18's and both 8S 90mm F-4's with the ProModeler servos so needed to test them out and retrim. The ProModeler servos are outstanding, priced competitive with Hitec and MKS, yet IMO much better. Made here in Florida. The are powerful, quiet, smooth as silk and extremely consistent. Details on the upgrade/installation in the F-4/F-18/Mig-29 threads. Upgraded the Mig several years ago and was so impressed by them decided to do a few others in the critical elevator surfaces.

    Forgot how well the Spitfire flies, 12 minutes on an SMC HiV 5900. Of course the A-10 is unbeatable for smooth flying and get 7 minutes on 2-SMC HiV 5900's. The F-4 flies for over 5 minutes on an 8S SMC HiV 5900 and the F-18 gets the same on a 6S SMC HiV 5900. I obviously like those packs!

    DC,

    What a beauty.

    Just bought the Freewing version and planning a aluminum repaint.

    I just hope it turns out as well as your FMS.

    Congrats on your successful first check flight.

    Best, LB

    A little aerobatic formation practice through loops and barrel rolls in a Zeus vs Avanti S with afterburner at dusk. Feeling lucky there were close calls but no mid-air collision
