t01ga beautiful job with the weathering and the cockpit. The map is a nice touch. Where do you find maps that small and detailed?

Thanks Hugh. Maps are easy. I just googled navigation map of the area I live. I then copy and pasted the map I like on a word document. When you click on an image in a word document you get a scale tool (a little circle on each side). So you then click and hold the little circle and move it to the size you like. I reduced enough where you can see the details and I printed it. Cut around the edge of the map and fold it into a quarter.
If you contact me on Facebook I send you an example word document.

Always loved your SU-35, a smart looking aircraft and the way you make it fly it looks so easy, but I know that's mostly you!

Thanks but... to an extent!
You haven't seen me fly the other jets like I do with the Su... that airframe is special!

(EF got close though!)

A couple photos of my repainted and detailed E Flite P-51D LOU IV/ ATHELENE after some flights yesterday.

Gee davegee if that's how the E-flite P-51 where to come out of the box I would have had 3 of them by now. Bravo Zulu!

Thanks, Aros. This is a Far cry from the stock kit! At first I thought I could just just paint that gawdawful blue to olive drab. But you know how that goes. I discovered that every decal and marking was off, so I stripped the whole thing down and completely redid everything.

I believe this rendition is as close as I could get to how Col. Christian’s plane looked shortly before his last mission that he was killed on attacking a rail depot in France.

I was taken by his sad end, after a stellar rise through the ranks to command a new fighter group, the 361st Yellowjackets in the 8th AAF. He was also the great grandson of General Stonewall Jackson of Civil War fame.

This is the second EFlite P-51 I’ve done. The first was donated to the museum in Bottisham England that was their base for part of the war, in his memory.

I enjoy flying it.

Got a a good flight on my fairly new F-4N this morning. Beautiful start to the day, just a light crosswind from the left. I think I'm starting to get these landings down the way I want on this airplane. This was flight #13, not much in most F-4 flyers' minds, but a good start for me. Love the plane with the afterburner lights and brakes! Heart Mountain, WY in the background.

I had this Flightline P-38 for several years. Eventually it was worn out and I decided to scrap it. Here's a couple of pics on a summer's day at my old airfield. The plane has the markings of the one flown by Col. Hubert "Hub" Zemke who took over as commander of the 479th Fighter Group after their commander was shot down and captured by the Germans. Really loved flying this plane. Might get another someday, who knows?

Always love Polish F-16's paint scheme. The normal Polish Scheme has a Spitfire camo on top (Blue and Grey) and just solid blue on the bottom. I found this, a Polish Tigers F-16 and loved the scheme. SO here she is in the Eflite F-16 80mm. I got the decals on the way.

Had an 'incident' with my 7 year old Pandora. A repair to the wing spar failed and she suddenly found gravity. Time to put her through the shop and change to paint scheme.
Before:

And after:

I also had a buddy's Pandora on the bench, he liked my Bearcat paint scheme so we did something similar on his Pandora:
We'll have a veritable Flying Circus the way we're going!
I stiil have my yellow on and he has one more as well.
Too much fun!!

Help!, I have a problem. I recently purchased a FMS 1700 mm v3 Corsair and my problem is with the landing gear. I disconnected the Reflex and connected everything to an AR-630 and when I retract the gear, the doors close ahead of the wheels….any thoughts??
