      Maybe if you try a direct link? It is at Vimeo so it should be easy to access. Try going to https://vimeo.com/240083077

        Great video! Beautiful plane and fall colors. I love how the metal flake sparkles in the Sun light. Good job!

          Sneaked in a couple flights on the T-45 (been down a month for rebuild and repaint) and one flight on the A4. 2 flights on the rebuilt T45 and 29 flights on the A4 so far.

              The same thing happens to me, am using Firefox, and also get the same result on my mobile phone.
              Not sure if there is a restriction from the carrier in terms of bandwidth, or security script.

              I had to copy the link and watch it in a new browser, or if you click the link below it should work by opening automatically.

                  The temp is manageable in IL, its the wind that hurts, gets between my eye glasses and hurts badly.
                  I charged up the 4S and 5S batteries and took the rc truggy, ARRMA Talion for a spin on a construction site. Lets say I did some flying with the truggy, a lot of fun, not one broken part jump after jump.

                  From what it seems, you charge up, open the patio door and off you go flying. Its thats the case, cant get any better than that.

                    Great day for flying, had BBD and Pandora one up. Some nice relaxing flying. For some reason, the rudder servo on BBD packed it in and so it was time to do some work on her. P-1 flew fine but the clevis on the tail wheel came off so I replaced the clevis with a Dubro one I got at Nefi so she's good again.
                    Don't know whether its just me, but her motor seems to be getting a little tired, I have a spare and I just got the spring for the front gear door on the Avanti thanks to Mach 9 for sending it over, so that's tomorrows project. New wings are on their way for the Bearcat so that's next weeks project.

                        They were okay, but the L/G hardpoints were weakened and have popped out a couple of times, they're due to be replaced, so the whole outside will be new for Spring.
                        While I'm thinking of it, what do you think of th idea of replacing the Tigercat 600kv's with 650 kv's?
                        Seems to me that I could stick with the stock props and ESC's and make it go to eleven??

                            Gman, twin 650s really ought to give it some kick! Especially if you swapped to those LX B-25 props that Ti uses as well. Might have to check out the amperage though. Vertical would go for miles!

                            I brought both the Little Bird and Apache out to our Scale fly event at the field today. Unfortunately, due to the "colder" temperatures (mid 40s and 50s) today , hardly anyone showed up. I'm still used to MN weather, so I was happy to fly! Hardly any wind at all, and it was right down the runway. Got in 6 flights on the Little Bird and even practiced some running takeoffs and landings.

                              What 650's are you thinking of? PM me with the details and we'll see if we can figure something out.
                              I've been also pondering the idea of a kick butt power plant and get this Tiger to really roar. LOL

                                  Wow, those choppers look sick. It sure has the cool factor.

                                  The same happens in the field I go to here in IL, almost nobody shows up, I have the field all to myself. :)

                                    Thanks guys, the choppers are so much fun! Hoping to finally get all the kinks worked out of the Apache soon so it can join the Little Bird in my rotation.
