I need to weather her up, but with so many projects on the burners, it is WAY back in line!!! LOL Blessings!!! Jerry
    That is just too sexy for your shirt.

    Since you have so many projects on the burners, send her to me for a few months and I'll give her 0some real life weathering, just may not come back in one piece.

      • I did not fly this one today, but wanted to post a few pics... I painted the canopy in a "reverse masking" type of procedure... It is really fun to fly.

                  • Hardway It's a Hanger 9 with wingspan of 88". She had been looking for a good sized Moth for a while. We found this one NIB for a good price last year.

                    • Love Dusty, and love that Tiger Moth! And that FMS Razorback is a fun flyer and looks great but boy don't look at the foam funny or it will dent! I left legit thumb impressions on mine just from taking it from the car to the field!

                          • Smart man.

                            Boy, I would say it's due time for a 1600mm+ Razorback from Freewing, wouldn't you?

                              • Two of us with Waco Biplanes went out about 8:00 am this morning to get the first flight on his 50" Dynum Biplane YMF-5. for the low quality that they are they fly Scale,hate the soft foam. My Older Brother purchased three of these CHEAP. He gave me two of them for building his. and I gave one to a very good friend of mine. Also put the First flight on my MRC T-33. Weather was calm but only 38 degrees. Good time to do the flying today we are expecting 3 to 4" of snow tonight and another 2 to 3" tomorrow with winds and temps in the teens.

                                • Previous photo's taken yesterday. after flying. took these this morning after flying in the snow we got last night and early early this morning. Took out my C-150, my snow and water Op's plane. I have many many hours on this one never take the floats off fly it year round Love the way it fly's with the floats on it actually fly's much nicer with the floats. Got in big hurry this morning. Left my wallet phone and Go- Pro camera's at home. getting old and forgetful LOL !!!!! Temperature was only 20 degrees so I only made one flight before my fingers felt like they were frozen

                                  • I had a nice Freewing/Flightline day yesterday. 6th flight of the T-33, upteenzillionth flights of the Spit IX and Me-262. The EFlite P-47 Flight was okay, but it’s not in the same league as the other three.



                                    [edit] The Follow Me Truck (upgraded Axial Honcho, 1/10 scale) was fun, too. It has Emergency Lights, turn signals, and front/rear light (flashing) on switches, so that I can run any combination of the LEDs, or none, via switch throws on my DX9.

                                    • Went out and flew my E-1500 Cargo plane this morning on floats. Temp 20 degrees and a light wind also trying to learn using a go pro camera Hat cam. Floats are only way to fly off of snow or wet grass.

                                        WOW, gets off quickly. Doubt my F-16 could take off in those conditions.
