I recently bought a couple of Heng Long tanks to play around with. I got a Sherman on E Bay and a M1A2 Abrams on Amazon. They are really incredible in detail and all the things that they can do! The good thing is, you can play with them, even in these windy times when we're not out flying!
Oh, BTW, I had posted a request "in the blind" on Hobby Squawk asking if anyone who has a NIB FMS P-47D 1500mm plane to let me know if they would like to sell it. Found someone yesterday, and we're in the process of them shipping it up to me. China will eventually start shipping to the USA again of FMS and some other brands, but hard to say exactly when that will be, with all that's going on in the world right now.

Got to the field around 10 o'clock with a ten mile an hour right down the runway. I took the Avanti out for the first time in a few years after reinstalling the original fuselage after extensive repairs. She flew very well but then again it might be the fact that I fly better than I did a few years ago.
Anyway, two great flights in before the storm blew in and it got ugly.
She took a mean knock which did a number on the replacement fuse to the point where the original looked repairable. Turns out she was and so now, after all this time the plane is back to it's original parts, strange how that works. Nice to have a bird with a history back in the air, here she is at NEFI in 2017...
Ahh the good old days!

Well, considering that she's the only jet I've ever owned, I'm surprised she's still around!
Actually, the two Bearcats are just about as fast as the Avanti with the stock power system. One of the Bearcats has a 650 kv with the FMS 1400 mm Corsair prop and the other is running a 760 kv with the stock prop. They go like the proverbial bat out of Hell.
Hey, there's my buddy!
Cheers Lon!

Got out last week with a few trusted favorites, including the Flightline 1600mm F-4U Corsair. She's got a lot of air miles on her, but still a pleasure to fly. It desperately needs a foe to shoot down, as I searched all over but only found allies! Flightline needs to get back in the game, seems like forever since we've seen a foam prop warbird!
Here's a video of one of the many flights that day.

What do you think of that F-100? I know the designer is a world class pilot and builder. But I haven't really seen any flight reports from the average jet pilot, lately. Looks nice, all of them!
