Places you fly. Post your videos.

Here's another NEFI 2016 video by Kevin at the Muncie, IN , AMA field.
3 FlightLineRC warbirds in the air together.

Did the rake using 1/8 spacer, and am using the FW P-51 wheels and am having no issues on the grass. My set up didn't require an extra battery so not sure what your referring to. The control box they provided takes care of that 7.2v for the retract controller and so far does it well. I added landing gear lights that on/off with the retracts and two strobing red beacon lights to that control box with no issues. I added a Scorpion Backup Guard as insurance in case the BEC has a failure. Did that to my PBJ(LX B-25) and will do so to my new P-38. Just something I've started doing to all my "big guns".

If you get bored, can you send me a pic of your control box set up in that plane? I have a separate life battery to power the 7.2v system. I ordered mine without the ESC and used one of the tried and tested FMS ESC out of a 1700mm warbird.

Sounds awesome Highpoint, nothing like year round. I'm thinking of investing in some skis for one of the Pandoras, just for the fun of it.
since the thread is 'Places You Fly"
I'd like to direct your attention to Captain Kevin Frasier's You Tube page whee he has posted a bunch of videos of us guys at NEFI, spent all last night in front of the TV watching them on the big screen, great stuff!!

This is the field of one of the clubs I'm joining. During the winter months there is a lake
that forms and you know what that means😀

Ben,
I totally agree, was blown away at how smooth the finish is on my Skyraider from HSD when I got it to replace the NEFI Triangle loss. In case you hadn't seen the post on it over on my Warbirds Squadron thread, here's the link to post #27 http://www.hobbysquawk.com/forum/rc-...7726#post47726
Look at the centerline drop and forward dorsal scoop added to make it look more scale

I have the older Starmax version of the Skyraider, but my buddy Tom has the HSD. We flew them together yesterday. Check out the video of the chase. You can fast forward to the footage if you want. (7:20)

That is nice! Did you add some forward rake to your gear? I had little joy on grass until I did that and I still got to be careful. Are you using the insane 7.2v extra battery set up through their electronics for the led and retracts?

i have the HSD Sky Raider which is a reboot of the old Starmax sky raider. Anyway it is the best foam finish of any foam plane I ever had as well. You can not see hardly any cells at all. It really looks close to being a cloth painted covering like ESM does.

New vid. Beautiful jet to fly. :)

ps: one of the nicest foam finishes I've seen. (Hint hint fms, freewing, flightline etc...) ;)

I mostly fly at home (pics) but once or twice a week I go to our clubs field (video).

I know most of us are flying planes and jets, but I thought this would be a good one for this topic: "Places you fly"

Great video! The quadcopter footage was expecially awesome. You're local as well, I am in Arlington and fly at the Golden Triangle field in Grand Prairie. In fact, I'm hoping to be out there flying tomorrow morning to maiden my B-17.

[Dewey H Lee]

That was truly a great video. I'd love to see more like that. Keep up the good work.

[Sky Wolf]

LOVE IT!
Great Video Sky, had a smile on my face from beginning to end.

Gracias Grossman! Glad you enjoyed!

Anyone from around the Cincinnati OH area? I'm going there this weekend...thinking of packing a plane..but where to fly?

Hmmm...I'll take you up on that. I'm on the road with work right now this week. I'll make a video late this week/weekend.

Awesome! I think a lot of Squawkers would appreciate that!

Thanks

[Grossman56]

Looked great Lon, after you cleared the car, I thought it was smooth sailing, until I saw the beer can that is. Good job!
Got out to the field tonight, no wind when I left home, storm moved in and I got about a 2 minute flight in with the Spit.
The most flying I've got this month!!
Had the P40 with me but didn't fly her, packed up just before the rain hit.

Lon, I am so impressed with how well balanced your blades are. That was one of the smoothest onboard videos I think I've ever seen.

Could you you do a short video on how you balanced your spinner and your 3-bladed props?
