    Now that would be cool. I didn't even know the T-birds flew those. Thanks Boots.

    Hey Grossman I believe Steve posted that he preordered 3 of the FreeWing 64mm Thunderstreaks? My guess is he is making a flight of three Thunderbirds, connected. LOL
    Breathtaking job on on #6 Steve.

    In addition to the "What's next Alpha?" thread, we need a "What's next Steve?" thread

    Interesting Dan. As for what's next? I have recently been drooling over the A-7 ARF that Jet Hangar Hobbies sells but that could possibly be thwarted by the next big Freewing EDF release. We shall see.

    Hey Ryan, it's running a JetFan with a HET 2085kV motor. I hope it's fast... I haven't had the chance to find out yet. The plane should be less draggy which may help a little.

    Hey, speaking of Blue Angels. They had an interview with the dad of one of the policemen involved in the Baltimore riot. All six were acquitted, but the one fellow, his last name was Nero, was a Blue Angels pilot, or at least a crewman as they showed a pic of him in Blue Angels coveralls beside one of the
    F-18's.

    Thanks Pat! I hope she flies as good as she looks. It is a little heavier than stock mostly due to the Fan and ESC but not too bad.

    The artist or craftsman is usually the only one that is aware of any imperfections in thier piece. That's what fuels the drive to get even better.:)

    I showed a guy at work the top photo and he thought I had been to an airshow over the weekend to see the Blue Angels :Silly:... Gotta love those forced perspective shots. LOL More to come...

LOL Some planes I like to just kinda throw together and fly and some I like to take my time researching and make them special to me and I have some favorites that may not even be available, yet I hope.
