What did you fly today?

[Oxotnik]

Spent the weekend with a friend and took some micros to fly at his field. Had multiple flights of my Lippish P.15, UMX Timber, and UMX Aero Commander. It felt a little odd only having small stuff to fly at such a nice field, but I did enjoy flying the micros. The guys at the field really enjoyed the Little Lippisch.

On the last hand toss, I was using a battery with a lower C rating, and the P.15 came up to speed more slowly, and bottomed out on the asphalt runway. It must of sucked up a pebble or something else hard, because it broke a fan blade.

Flew my carbon z t28, and two fpv wings

very sweet Aros, always loved the artic paint scheme.She looks like a real beast for sure. I'm putting together a 70mm eps foam f16, had it so long it's embarrassing (yea I said eps ;)) but it kept getting pushed back to the end of the build list. just too pretty of an air-frame to toss, f16 is a looker. If I like it in the air maybe get a more current version.

Thank you! A real beast for sure but can we trade wing loading please? LOL

Wow that sucker moves! I may have to grab one, looks like a ton of fun!

The P.15 is a joy to fly! It has great high-speed and low-speed flying characteristics. It is very touchy on the ailerons though. I had to fix my aileron rates at 50%. At first, I had my elevator set at 50%, too, but decided that I needed more elevator, to bank and yank the turns, since there’s no rudder, so I increased my elevator rates to 70%. The crazy role rate makes me smile.

Great day for flying yesterday, flew the FW F-86, FMS Red Arrow Hawk and HSD F-16. All awesome!!

[Sky Wolf]

Nice jet fleet Porkster! Really like the hangar too!!

[Porkster]

Thanks Sky Wolf. The weather has gone back to rain so no flying for a bit

[Lon]

A little break in the weather here in Iowa. Overcast and light winds, with a temp of 49f. Freewing F-86 was my choice for several flights this afternoon.

[Sky Wolf]

Lon, love what you did with the F-86!! AWESOMENESS :Cool:

Thanks!! I'm very happy with how the paint scheme turned out.

[Aros]

I concur! Very cool!

[Shirty]

yeah, great scheme looks awesome. nice one!

[crxmanpat]

More fun today with the A-10, CZ T-28, and the Phantom. We even had a fly by of Sentimental Journey, and T-28, and a C-45 (Beech 18)!

[Aros]

Nice Pat! Great shots.

Flew #6 with my HSD F-16 today. We had a full cockpit AND controller bay hatch ejection! Still trying to get comfortable flying this big heavy girl surrounded by tall trees and obstacles galore. I WILL get there! Enjoy! LOL

[rifleman_btx]

Didn't want any part of that landing lol

[F22trainer]

While I didn't get to fly the L-4 Cub to try the gyros, Dennis let me fly his T-28 twice. Did the takeoff on second flight, first time on the sticks with a warbird. Didn't feel up to the landing as my arms were about to fall off after doing weed control around the runway this morning. But that was fun! Been looking at a Pica T-28 on Fleabay...might just be my second warbird. P-38 is still grounded, but maybe not for long.

[rifleman_btx]

Heck yeah man! Good times

[crankestein]

The Phantom is looking good. I've always loved it as a kid. A friend of I went to school with his dad flew one. Aros enjoyed the video and TIron, glad to hear the maiden went good for you. I look forward to hat cam video coming soon or a ride on as Aros had.

Had a chance to watch the James Smith McDonnell documentary/biography a few weeks ago, enjoyed every minute of the film.

The Skipper Spitfire and Old Crow flew today. OC is just, well, never been a favorite of mine, but it's 'fly or die' in my hangar.
