Took JuneBug to the park today, along with my son on the Mini Apprentice. All went well, until my second flight. My right landing gear didn't want to drop. So I got to experience my first emergency belly landing! Did damn good, if I do say so myself. I had the bombs in place under the wing. They may have been my saving grace. Only some scuffing.. no major damage at all. I'm happy with it. Now to figure out the gear issue and get back out there!2 PhotosDynam; E-Flite; Freewing

Took the Lil' Dragon down to the park today to tweak 'er gimble settings. Went to take some shots of the snowy mountains surrounding us here in the Phoenix Valley, the other day, and the horizon was a bit off kilter. Got it all straight.. and level again, so I decided to play in Sport mode for a bit before heading back to the hanger. ;)1 PhotoDynam; E-Flite; Freewing

Very cool, talking about the video, not the weather. Keep 'em coming, love the camera work. At least it looks like you got the field to yourself>:Cool:
Hardly enough snow, just enough to say I did it. It was fun building the skis. What you don't see is that in the climb out, the ski tension spring on the port gear popped out of its fitting. The ski tip was pointed at the ground 90% of the flight. As I was landing and expecting a crash, the gusty wind blew the ski down long enough to set her down. :Silly:Done with that for this year :P back to jets! ...and maybe buy a lottery ticket...2 PhotosThere are hundreds of RC aviation videos viewable here; WBRC
