Yikes!!! Pretty good wind late today. Visibility wasn't very good either with the cloud cover and sunset approaching. I didn't keep my power up as much as i should have on landing approach. The result was almost ugly...phew....
Places you fly. Post your videos.

I have not done that yet, but it has been done. Seriously though, I would love to try a set up to fly from the cockpit FPV. I spent hours and hours on PC based combat flight simulation. I honestly believe I could do it. If I could only figure out how to use my ole combat joy stick instead of my radio, that would be sweet.

Wow! Nice shop, Martin. I'd be too embarrassed to post pictures of mine. It is quite a mess. I've got too many projects going on all over it. :)Comment

Oh Martin..........yes you ARE dating yourself:rolleyes: with pics of some antiquated radios. I too happen to have a gold Kraft and a black MRC laying about(packed in a box in the top of barn) versus being on display to confirm how long ago my early years in the hobby really was.Warbird Charlie

Managed 6 flights today after work at my Bellevue Iowa flying site. Was going to film some flights, but camera battery wasn't charged. So here's a flight there from a couple weeks ago that i believe i hadn't posted.
A little windy today. But logged several flights with the FlightLine P-38L. The upgrade FlightLine struts are great, and the wheels that come with the upgrad...Lon

Very Nice flight! Now if that was me, with all those light poles around me. I'd have hit one, I seem to gravitate to trees, poles, anything in the flight area. Well, I have to say; all these models are looking fantastic. Keep up the great flying! Matt customer service.Comment

Ha ha, the radio said; "I'm a bad girl, then a loud slap! That's hilarious, so I'm guessing you can record or add your own speech on these transmitters. I better get with the times! I've heard of this, but never done it. Enjoy! Matt Customer ServiceComment

Hard to believe the great fall weather we're having here in Iowa. 20+ flights logged today between the P-38, F-86 and P-51. Suppose to be just as nice tomorrow. Batteries charged and ready!! Light winds 6-10mph most the day. This flight was before sundown and winds had died down to >5mph.

Yeah that Lon is one lucky buggar to have a facility like that to hang out at and fly from.
Their club house is a two story building which is damn near bigger than the house I live in.
Lon.....how does your club get away with not having a big X at the ends of the runways as a notification to full size that it is not a viable strip??Warbird Charlie
