      Happy Fathers day to all the fathers on here. I got up at 5 am this morning as usual for me and charged up some batteries, wasn't sure what I felt like flying so afer several minutes of :Confused: I decided on the Eurofighter and the Mig 21, forgot to take a picture of the Euro. 12 batteries later two things happened, finally my right retract on the Euro pulled out but some how stayed in position, I could see something wasn't right in the air on the last flight, the gear door on the left retract was hanging open a little bit, I fixed the right one two yrs ago and the left one was nice and snug but today that monkey glue they use finally gave up and it don't matter how softly you land, after 3 yrs the gear on the Euro will come loose. Now the Mig was all good but on the last flight also I noticed one of the gear doors was dangling, lost one of those tiny screws is all, but no mishaps or anything like that, not a scratch on either one.:Whew: Turned out to be a great morning to fly and then is was off to Church with the family.......:Cool:

              The little thang checked out real fine with her 4S upgrade / 60 amp ESC/ and 12 x 8.5 prop. Finished up some more graphics and will put her up for sale. She rolls, loops and spins nicely. A quiet airframe also, no loud vibrations on this bird. I like em’ quiet - only hear the prop and motor.

                Great to hear Lon. I was pleased to see you win that bird, I knew you'd like it. Been having nothing but success with mine lately. She's showing some of her damage but nothing major and I'm hoping to get my hands on another maybe next year.

                            I am slowly but surely working toward flying scale FPV in a EDF jet cockpit. For now, I am honing my FPV skills on a “jet trainer”- PC-21.

                                Took my CZ Cessna, Pandora, Tcat,& B-26 to fly today all flew great except for the B-26. It acted like it was tail heavy but I checked the balance before taking it up. it took a nose dive busting the nose off. I have no plans on rebuilding it. Click image for larger version

                                  Ugh. Sorry to hear that.
                                  Does not look too bad, considering.
                                  We have a school program that uses donations to get kids interested in aviation, I.e. busted models which club members make airworthy and donations from member or non member families who need to downsize or move on.
                                  could it be resurrected?

                                    Sorry for your loss MB. This always sucks. I might be thinning my heard in a bit, but I try to fly them until they start having serious problems.

                                      It probably could be resurrected but I have fixed too many things to get this one fly. I'm giving up on this one right now and it takes a lot for me to finally throw in the towel. I'm not terribly upset about this B26 trying to take a dirt nap!:Straight-Face:

                                        Took the Icon A5 out for a few flights while camping this week on Lake Greenwood! Probably been over a year or two since this thing has been flown. I have clearly gotten way too used to over powered planes since then and this is gonna have to get a 4s upgrade! :Yawn::)
