    Put several more flights on the Timber X today and the Turbo Beaver saw a bit of action as well.

      Not mine, but I found the wreckage when it went in after it stopped responding.

          Even when we do things correctly, something can go terribly wrong. Took the fun out of my flying for the morning.

            Don't let it spoil your fun. We all crash. It's part of flying. Was that a Dynam plane? I don't remember it in your hanger.

              Now that’s how to crash an airplane if you are going to lose one at least make it an epic looking crash scene. Sorry it happened but in the end all you can do is laugh it off and get the next plane in the air.

                Not mine - club member, 3rd Flight. VQ Models 55” Hellcat. Was fully loaded with eFlite retracts and Futaba servo. Only thing I saw and questioned was the Castle Cremations 90 ESC.

                    Thanks, changed out to a 3 blade prop, and added wheelpants. Now I just need decent weather.

                      This is a flight from the beach near my home yesterday. I didn't have any war birds with me though... next time... :)

                          Finally got some time to get Woodstock back in the air after the RX failure. She still flies like a dream. So...

                          While I'm there I see this guy at the table loading what looked to me like a CO2 cartridge in the rear of his jet(?). Of coarse I had to ask... and learned it was a rocket that once launched has the ability (servos) to fly back to the ground. I know.. excuse my ignorance.. but it's the first I've seen of such. After some talking and instructions, I was handed the 'Launch box" .. put in the key.. count down from 5.. and she took off like a bat outta hell! Pretty sure it went well over the 400' ceiling before leveling out. At least looked like from where I was standing. Glided back down to the ground nicely. Needless to say... I was impressed.

Was a bit breezy at first, but near dead calm as the sun set. Took my little Cub and had a dilemma as I forget the 1300mAh batteries I normally use...
                            I’ve been using the 2200’s with the foam Cub same motor + ESC, just the balsa gal is half the weight. So I thought, “why not? Battery fits right over the CG so off we went. Took a bit more runway and power, but it normal takes off at 2/3 throttle. Actually flew great being a bit heavier.
                            Almost forgot to mention the flight time was ridiculous - I got about 15 minutes of flight time with these 2200 batteries. Still had 3.8 per cell (3S).

                              Ordered an inexpensive beginner heli with 6 axis gyro. My wife had to go to the work dungeon this afternoon to ship a couple of orders, so I took it with us, and worked on some basic hovering while she took care of the work stuff.

                                Nice! The small helis are great for squeezing in flying almost anywhere.

                                  Took out the FlightLine P-51 for a re-maiden (douched her in after a knuckle-headed decision to under toss at WOT)...

                                      I flew none of these...
                                      but we had our annual McGuyver event. Some flew quite well. Some not so much. Poor Snoopy had a great lift off and Initial climb, but went downhill from there - sorry Snoopy.
                                      The objective: take off, around the pattern and land. Extra points for: touch and go, loop and or roll.
                                      Much fun had by all, a Model T attempted flight, but made a better ice cream maker.
