CRASH!! (almost) Went flying this afternoon with my F-86 and P-38. Logged a dozen flights all together. ANYWAY, when i get home and start to unload the vehicle. As I'm lifting the P-38 out of the back of the Traverse..Something falls..It's the nose retract off the 38!!! Yikes! My last flight of the day was with it. Before going out today, I checked all my grub screws on both planes. Not sure if i had 6 or 7 flights on her. No hard landings. Anyway, moral of the story is to check things before every flight(which i didn't) It could have been a ugly landing if I dropped gear and seen something tumbling to the ground . Thinking if I would have checked the gear before the last flight, that nose gear would have been loose....phew:Whew:
Yes, another thing on my list as well, had a loose grub screw on the P-40 gear, noticed it after landing. I was taking the gear apart later that day anyway, but, I Foam-Tac'd the little buggers in:Nerd:
You guys might enjoy this, scratch built edf by a bloke over here in Perth. :)
Really did enjoy that Shirty. Stuff like that reminds me of how nice it is to be involved in this hobby nowadays with the social media connection to spread the passion and talents of modelers from all over the globe;)

Cheers fellas. Yep - thats me n skippy mate. Also the bloke who's hovering next to himself, (and then decks it), that's me too lol. We all have those days where things just don't go quite as planned. (I couldn't really roast the boys and not include a couple of my own bloopers) hahaha
This is a year-old video of a FMS F-4 at my club, DCRC in Montgomery County, Maryland. I start off trying to chase a FW Su-35, but end up just trying to keep it near the boresight :)
