    Thanks Hugh!

        • Got a few flights in on the Eflite Hurricane and LX B-25 tonight. Unfortunately, I dropped my IX20 from around 2 ft, and now it won't boot up despite having no visible damage.. Guess it is going back to Horizon now..

            I'd swear that pilot winked at me after landing..

            • Well, took the Apache out early this morning for a Father's day flight, set up my phone to shoot a video but I forgot to push the video button and instead pushed the camera button and it took this picture, all that fancy flying for nothing.

                As you can see, the Bearcat flew the yellow off some of the prop tips!

ID:	318014 (both Freewing Iron Ass P-51's running 650kv motors) landing gear is always a problem, they'll retract fine on the bench but MLG got her main hung up on the clamshell door in flight and would neither retract or extend on one side, the result was a one wheel landing. This after a good first flight! Scraped a bit of paint off the wing tip but hey, didn't do any more damage than that. My landing skills have greatly improved since the introduction of the RV8!
                      OC decided that she would hit me with a different problem and decided to loosen her motor from the x mount.
                      Wonderful children, they'll be flown again tomorrow

                      • Well, they both came home in one piece again, so that's saying something
                        Actually, MLG did better, got the gear to retract completely which was awesome and she flew fine. Still has some tail wheel issues with her extending straight but did some work on it and it should be okay now (crossing my fingers!).
                        Old Crow is still kind of weird to fly but better today. I rebalanced the prop which seemed to have helped, plus that fact that the motor stayed in place
                        So, just so I had a bird that flew well, I took the Bearcat out as well and wow, I didn't realize just how much I missed that bird until I got a new one
                        Stay tuned, actually, tomorrow will be an easier day, I'll take out some other planes and have some fun, sure love retirement!!

                            Glad to see you enjoying retirement, I can't wait for that day to come for me, been driving truck for a long time but still got a ways to go, wake up and go fly everyday if I want to, must be nice Grossman..

                                  • I flew my OV10, Tigercat,& my Eindecker today at my clubs Warbird fun fly. I also took my DVIII as a display I got a lot of good comments on it. I hope to get it in the air next Saturday since I just need to put the nose weight in it.

                                      • In regards to the B-17, I honestly thought that after the B24, we would see a B'17 in line with the great work Tired Iron George did on his. But nothing. Would be great to see, perhaps an F model, hop down to the Boeing Museum of Flight to check out their F model or go see Memphis Belle in Dayton for reference.

                                        • Got in some B-24 flights at the club yesterday with JD Crow's B-24, and a friend on the sticks of my HK B-17. Was a lot of fun to get 3 bombers up in the air at once!
