Had the maiden flight on my Dynam Waco. I had modded it with a different lighting set but otherwise it was stock. I was using an Admiral 4S 3000 but it became obvious it had to be a lot further forward as it was extremely tail heavy on the first flight. The second was better but I still need to get the CG right. Lands well though and looked pretty in the air once I trimmed it better and got my heart rate under control :). Didn't have any trouble taking off and landing from our club's grass field.1 Photo

I love my Dynam WACOs. Even though it has a couple of minor (QC related) quirks, I think it is one of the most under rated RC foamys on the market.

Yup, scratchbuilt. I posted the plans on my RCGroups blog page, and the build log is linked there as well

Hope I can get that on a build list soon.

Finally after a year's work, I maidened the 1/3 scale Fokker D-VIII yesterday. Wingspan is 110", weight about 35 lbs (including 9 lbs of lead in the nose). Electric powered by a 100cc equiv motor turning a 26x8 prop, 180A ESC and 4 ea. 5000mah 6S Admiral lipos for power and a 3600mah receiver pack.
Flight went quite well. It only took two clicks of rt aileron, but about 12 clicks of down trim. Did not feel tail heavy at all. Just wanted to climb. After landing, all looked good. The motor was only warm, the ESC was just above ambient and the packs read 3.95v per cell after 5 mins of mixed throttle. After about an hour I got her ready for flight number two. Advanced the throttle only to have the prop turn about 1/4 arc and stop and wouldn't turn by hand. Will have to open it up to investigate.
She flew well and is still in one piece. Here are a few pics. My wife tried to get a flight vid, but must have hit the wrong button.6 Photos
