No flying today but Thursday was great. Had my favorite warbirds out as well as my old faithful Pandora. She's still number one on my radio dial, Big Beautiful Doll is number two, they've both been around since the beginning 8 years ago and still a lot of fun to fly.

I saw a while back your C rating review/comparison write up and decided to checkout your SMC 5300 40C recommendation.
I bought 2 of them just recently but wouldn't ya know it that the weather here in upstate NY has gotten funky and haven't been able to go test them out in my 1400 FMS Pitts.
Anxious to see how they goWarbird Charlie

Didn't get any pictures this weekend, but I got out with the Sebart Avanti & the Blackhorse Gilmore. Two of my favorite planes!! Put on 10 flights between the two planes. It was just a fantastic weekend to be flying in November!
Also helped one of our young club members setup a new E-Flite FW-190 and helped em do the maiden. It was just great to see a young pilot complete a successful maiden on his first warbird.

Im warbird lover ,, but the gilmore,, previos post r an awsome pretty plane. But what did u fly .. no crash today... o boy.... we had lots of rain so my industrial area runway was short... no probs ye ye,,, instead of the normal gentle acceleration ... i went , a bit hard..... mmm wow those props r big.... not enuf rudder etc.. upside down. Quicker than u can imagine... so my baby twisted a wing,,, looked nasty... i have a spare wing,,, but as often the case , wrong side....... pulled it apart ,, a couple very firm twists to realighn the aluminum spa. Until the foam matched.... looks in shape to me.... have taken lots of mesurements... cant beleive the internal stucture of these foam planes....
Would have been sad if it was balsa2 Photos

Maidened my new Skynetics Shrike. This is an excellent motor glider! I totaled my first one back in early 2020 and then had a long wait. Snatched up three more with a bunch of spare parts this year once they came back in stock.
Thank you MotionRC for all these cool toys!
Here's a shot from yesterday's maiden...

We got a nice day today to everyones surprise. I took advantage of it and got out with the Blackhorse Gilmore for a few flights!! What a fantastic day to still be flying in Montana in November. The Gilmore is now at 48 flights for the year since I put it together this spring. If the weather holds I'm going to try and get to 50 before winter hits.
