Yes the wheel pants cracked and broke they were very thin and cheap. That was my only complaint about the Gilmore. I'm in the process of fiber glassing and filling in the pants with foam cut out for the wheel to fit. It should make it much stronger without adding much weight. I need to get those pants fixed because it does look funny without them.

Put the painting of the Mig and my 2nd Hornet on the back burner today and got out flying instead before the mad rush for the Memorial Day Weekend. Winds were 15 mph, but at least right down the runway so it made landings very slow (ground speed anyway) and easy. The F-4 Blue Angel and the F-16 flew great and was also able to try out the new 9 blade inrunner in the Stinger 90. It came with my 2nd Hornet but I got a separate 12 blade inrunner for that so the 9 blade ended up costing me only $20 (creative accounting indeed) over getting the Hornet ARF and buying the components separate. The Stinger flew well before with the 12 blade 1650 Kv outrunner, but the 9 blade 1900 Kv inrunner is a great upgrade. Now comes stock in most of MRC's EDF's, but wasn't about to spend $100 to upgrade it.
Speaking of MRC, several guys at the field were really bitc...ing at me about the recent MRC price increase, as if I have anything to do with it. Mostly because I'm always recommending MRC's aircraft over HH, but I get it, seems these guys didn't read the fine print on the website. That's why I got the Mig and the 2nd Hornet on the 14th, saved about $120. Everything seems to be going up these days with inflation and the cost of gas going through the roof, but that's another discussion for elsewhere!
After some 35 flights with the F-18, all of a sudden it's giving me flap issues, where they work fine on the ground, even under pressure, but in the air, the left flap won't go down. Reduced the delay but nothing seems to work. Man, it sure gets squirrely with one landing flap only, almost impossible to fly until it gets raised back up. Gotta figure this out, next plan is to bypass the BB.

3mph wind at the PANDAS field today ( Pontefract and District aeromodellers) in Yorkshire so it was a mix and match day with the Freewing Avanti, VQ Airacobra, revitalised HK Yak12 and modified DW hobby Eagle with added rudder feathers, ailerons and extended and repainted eagle head. The original needed some modification for it to fly well! Hope you all had a good day wherever you fly.

DCORSAIR I'm not a heli guy per se but that is just plain bad assery right there and would make me reconsider my allegiance.
A little Memorial Day sortie with the F-22 today.
