Me and my flying buddy got out for a full day of flying Saturday. Pretty dang windy but it was still a blast. Forgot to take pictures this time but my buddy snapped one of our F16s. I had ALMOST gotten a little bored/tired of my FW F16 to be honest. But, I put the 2210kv inrunner setup in a few months back and now I fly it more than any other 70mm EDF I have. Completely transformed this bird!!! Anyone still running the older outrunner setup, it is money well spent on the new setup!!

If we wait until this virus runs its course, though, we're looking at delaying until full-up summer weather before we can get out there.

Still waiting for the rain and wind to clear. Been jonesing to fly, especially with this quarantine. Luckily I fly at a local school so nobody is around. Just need the weather to cooperate!My YouTube RC videos:

With the current quarantine and social distancing measures, it's hard to say when they're going to decide to restrict being out and about even further. We had thought about arranging a trip out there on a Saturday, so I could fly a bit, and then we could hit a couple of shops in the Phoenix Metro that my wife really likes visiting, but with non-essential businesses either completely shut down, or else severely curtailed, that kind of trip is going to have to be put on hold. Quilt and fabric shops don't really qualify as "essential businesses."

Yes, after some choice expletives penetrated the local airspace I was happy to discover upon closer inspection there was no damage to the airframe/gear...Just some small cosmetic issues (canopy came off, broken nose cone/pitot, part of a missile) easily repairable. It really looked bad from afar. I lucked out that time! Whew!My YouTube RC videos:

I really like the splinter camo they used on their Viper. It's a great flying plane and even better looking, in my opinion! Especially for the ViperJet, it's nice to see a scheme other than the HPAT or other schemes that SAPAC did years ago. This one really feels fresh and flows will with the airplane.
Speaking of splinter camo, and in a thread that sometimes covers airplane transport, I wanted to share a funny photo I shot of my friend Dan's transportation solution. This is a while ago but it still gets the point across that many of us will go to great lengths to fit airplanes in cars. I'm well aware that, like us, many manufacturers of medium and larger planes consider the average dimensions of common vehicles when designing planes. It's no fun if something is so big it can't easily fit in the car, since we're not all TiredIrons with flying fields in our backyard.

Well, I killed an Invader today. My 91" Phoenix Model A-26. I'd screwed up the approach and powered up for a do-over. Unfortunately, the right prop liberated itself from the motor. I was too low, too slow, and in too poor of an attitude to do anything but watch the Invader slam into the ground. Hated losing the plane, but losses are part of the game. If HH/Tower Hobby doesn't kill off the Phoenix Model line, I'll probably buy a replacement ARF. All the electronics (the really expensive part of the plane) are still good (to the best of my knowledge).
