First flights this AM. What a fantastic flying model!Though I have not flown (or even seen one flown in person) the 6S version, this new 8S version seems to have an abundance of thrust. At least for my scale flying style. Got her trimmed out and focused on getting some in-flight photos. I had the ISO goofed up on my camera though and that combined with the gray morning really limited my yield of good photos. But my daughter did manage a few and we also shot some static photos. A little rain on my parade when the left main would not come down on the second flight? Cycled the gear three times and no love. Didn't want to risk an LVC induced landing so brought her in on her belly on the club's geomat runway. Though I was a bit miffed about scraping up the underside a little and knocking off a few of the under nose mounted scale goodies, she slowed amazingly with full flaps. I held her off in ground effect as long as I could and she really only slid about 75-100 feet or so? Nothing a little touch-up paint won't remedy.

Finally did the maiden on the Yak today! Flew great, but the crosswind got me on landing. Was trying to keep it lined up and got too slow just off the deck. Hit pretty hard (even knocked some ordnance loose), but the stout gear on this bird held up well. No damaged except for my pride! :)Pat

Such a great flying and looking jet. Was very disappointed when the wing separated in flight due to structural failure at the wing plugs, then ripped the carbon fiber tube out through the bottom of the wing. It miraculously wasn't in too bad a shape apart from the wing and horizontal stab the wing took out when it separated. Took some serious engineering with wing plugs from a wrecked F-16 fuse, but made it work and got it up really quick for a gusty "Re'Maiden" today.
Custom printed some rocket pods from APMECH1, just have to print the mounts.
Was a beautiful night with mountain thunderstorms in the distance to re'maiden despite the winds. She sure is a looker.

The Freewing Yak 130 90mm used by me had the foam under the cockpit canopy already very damaged. That's why I decided to start my biggest 3D drawing project.
