Just back from a flight plagued with silly problems ....Main gear hinge sticky not letting the wheel bed down properly...no cell count on the Esc....steering slightly off (rough field)...dogs ....one flap not going fully to second stage..............Still made it, all the niggles fixed and well worth the effort to see it up in a perfect light grey overcast sky......how close to heaven can one get ??

I've been a member there for a few years and will be going there for my f4's maiden pretty soon. Awesome field.
Originally posted by themudduck View PostToday I flew as a guest at an RC field with a paved runway. This place was a private airport in the 1960's. It was really fun to come down for the landing and hold that high-alpha position and just let it settle perfectly in, no worries about the runway being too short.
I took a belly-cam video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IOkB8HKsSk
PS I use a 3-axis gyro from Motion, it works extremely well.

I was a mechanic at Edwards AFB 1977-81 I worked on those very F-4s there. There was also a prototype YF-4E that was white with the orange trim and a nice shark mouth. That is the one I am going to model. I bought plastic model decals that I am going to ask Callie to make a set for me.I got a great F-4E conversation nose kit from The RC Geek as well as his afterburner kit, check him out.

Rust-Oleum 249114 Painter's Touch 2X Ultra Cover, 12 Oz, Gloss Deep Blue
Probably not the "correct" blue...and it doesn't match the decals...but I'm not wasn't worried about it...just like I wasn't worried too much about accidently placing the black decals on top of the intakes a bit too far back.
Maiden tomorrow!
