I got to go flying today with George Baker and some others at JCRC. Brought out the Stinger 90, 90mm A-10, Stinkbug, 70mm Bae Hawk and SU-47.
After a 6 minute flight on my Hawk, this is what was left and the battery was barely warm. RT 5800 35C.
But at the end of the day there was one casualty.... after picking up the pieces there wasn't a single blade left on the fans I have never seen anything like it before. At the end of the runway at lift off it just went crazy. Flew fine the last time it was up and the only thing I did to it was fix the canards so they could not move. Ah well... if you are gonna fly 'em you are gonna crash 'em. She was a perty ship...

Flew the P-47, B-17, F-104, Apache, and attempted to maiden my Navy Cub today. The cub made it about 15 ft down the runway before the gear collapsed and sheared off (PM inbound to TI for metal gear..). The rest of the day wasn't incident free either. The 104 had the nosewheel get hung up in flight, and only deployed about 15 degrees despite numerous cycle attempts. I brought it down as best I could, but the pitot tube was destroyed, and there is some foam damage to fix up on the nose, but is otherwise unharmed. Also managed to get a few cool shots of the B-17 and P-47 in the air.4 Photos
