What did you fly today?

[davegee]

Had a couple good flights on my HHH P-51D Flightline 1.6m airplane today. That brings me to 43 successful flights with this airplane, really enjoying it. Did a tank drop again, am working on a lightweight filament to make lighter and stronger drop tanks in the future, over the PLA tanks, which are more accurate detail-wise, but more subject to damage when they hit hard ground.

Took a pic after today's flights, undercloudy but interesting skies, I think.

Got out today with kinda an odd assortment of aircraft (fits me perfectly as I'm also kinda odd).

An 8S Canadian F18 (From the Great White North, Eh?), a US Navy 8S F4 Blue Angel (protecting us from the Gulf of America to Lake America ), a wood Extreme Flight FW-190 Red Tulip (hochgefahrlich-translate that one ) and one of my Extreme Flight Extra 300 V2 3D plane.

Though I have to admit, despite spending more time fling these 3D planes, I'm only at 2 1/2D at the moment. I can Flat Spin, Inverted Flat Spin, Blender, figure 8 knife edge, Hover (but not 1 foot off the runway yet like real 3D pilots), Rolling harrier and a few more crazy maneuvers. Just have to accept the fact that I'll never be as good at 3D as some of these younguns, but I do have fun trying. Must say the F4 and F18 fly great on 8S, the FW 190 is also a sweet flying warbird. Have 2 speakers from Model Sounds Inc (now out of business) in it, so it sounds great, but quite heavy with those speakers. Still flies for over 10 minutes on either a 6S SMC HiV 5900 or 6400. Can't ask for more!
