What did you fly today?

[Grossman56]

Warbird overload I'm thinking. It'll do it to you every time. Good thing the wife wields a camera like a knife because I'd have missed half the things at Nefi. Heck Jay Smith has been there both times and I've missed seeing him. Too busy watching P-40's climbing vertically out of sight I guess:Silly:

I'm liking that Pilatus. How does it fly?

Really good, with full flaps it will fly at stupid low speeds.

Three more flights on the A-10 today with winds upto 26mph and the strut reversal is still working a treat:Cool:

[seaviper]

Got two more flights on the T-45 today (19 total) and 1 flight on the A-4 (35 total). Great day!
I love these two birds.

Maidened this on Saturday at the Halloween Fun Fly. I have fixed the TV and canards although they could be made to function in the future. I went ahead and added the white accents and the rest of the decals. George built it well. The maiden was a bit hairy as it wanted to pitch down suddenly if applying any down elevator but it survived. I hope to fly it again soon. It has an impressive presence in the air.

I once designed a pusher profile Berkut. Flew well once you got the CG dialed in. And yes, looked very impressive in the air. I may get one of those LX models if General Hobby keeps bringing the price down on the kit only version. Right now it's $134.

[RCjetdude]

Cool profile Pat. Yeah, if you can get the kit and add your own electronics that is the way to go. Because I knew what George put into this one I knew it was built well. The 10 blade fans sound great and the gear, servos and ESC's are good quality. Plus, he reinforced the wing. I noticed no flexing of it in flight. I am going to replace some pushrod clevises but that is about all.

I noticed it doing that in the video especially the 2 distinct times during the final 30 feet of height on landing :Scared: Good save ;)

[RCjetdude]

Thanks Charlie. That is why the canards are now fixed so they can't move. Anxious to try it again like that.

[crxmanpat]

Funny you should mention reinforcing the wings. Here's what happened to mine on the maiden. I was able to land it after the outer panels separated though. If you look closely at the second pic in my previous post, you can see where I glued the wing tips back on and added CF spar.

Nice pics. :)

Day 474: Flew the Porter...

[crankestein]

I have a friend who has a Tundra w similar color scheme and is very difficult for him to fly it. The plane becomes a patch once in the sky, not sure if you encounter the same issues. He ended putting stripes at the tip of the wings.
