Haven't posted in a while but I finally was able to maiden the HK B-17 a few days ago. Weather was great but gusting up to 15. The plane handled the wind really well and had a great few flights. I haven't added differential yet - it would definitely help for taxi. Also attached a Go2 up front during the second flight but unfortunately the battery died halfway thru. I should have taken more pics but at least got 1.1 Photo

Good to hear. I have my Pitts version one all ready to go, just waiting for a patch of good weather, hopefully Sunday or Monday.
As did all of us, I grew up with 'the 24th of May is the Queen's birthday' Seems so strange to hear 'The King' but, I guess we were all lucky to have the Queen as it doesn't look like the ruling monarch will be a Queen for quite some time!
Good luck with the Pitts, sounds like you have your bases covered.

You are so right, 30+ years I have dreamed of flying a big Magnum PI version Hughes 500D, a big Thanks to Roban I have been flying this one for about three yrs now, its been a great flying heli too, I do my regular maintenance on it and that's only greasing the gears every 3 flights, those gears are a failure point on these Roban kits, got to keep them well lubed...

Calm winds today but broiling hot. Got 4 flights each on my Extreme Flight Extra, Eurofighter, Mig 29 and F-18. The more I fly the Eurofighter, the more I like it. Lands easier than anything I've got. The Mig is flying nicely with the TV nozzles and it too is super smooth on landing. Ringing out the F-18 finally after I replaced the flap servos with Hitec ones and now they are working beautifully, FINALLY! What a pain the stock ones were for me (on both my F-18's), most of the time at least one would not deflect while in flight leaving it tough to fly until they were brought up.

In my personal salute to the beginning of the Independence holiday weekend and next week, I flew my P-47D OLE' COCK and my B-2 Spirit bomber Spirit of Missouri.
It was a beautiful morning to fly very light winds which allowed me to put the B-2 up in the air. Even at its model size, it really is impressive to watch flyby. As long as winds are light or calm, I feel pretty confident to takeoff, fly, and land it on our very rough runway. I can only imagine what it would have been like operating out of a smooth runway like at an airport or something. Still it works for me. Both of these planes have around 27 flights on them now.
Have a great Independence Day weekend, everyone!🎈🎈🎈
Cheers
