This is my go-to spot when I want to fly at lunch or after work on the way home. Beautiful Chester County, PA. My club is located about 12 miles away but I don't have any videos from there yet. This was my very first flight with a cam on board.

That is a great place to fly!!

Here's a short video showing my club's flying field at Valley Forge National Park. It was an incredible night for flying last night, about 80 degrees, not much wind at all, and the sun setting behind the hills.

Hey Benjack was the door problem due to the clevisis or something else. Just fishing for problems I might have with my 1700mm Ferouis Frankie.

Thanks. I guess I tried to post a couple of times but it wouldn't let me. Eventually they must have actually gone through! Sorry about that.

[Grossman56]

Its been happening in a few other threads as well, we're keeping an eye on it.

Yes, it is the clevis. The Clevises on FMS planes suck. I need to change it I just have not got around to it. All my Mustangs have done that. Just part of getting the new out of it I guess.

Seagull Skyraider. I had not flew this plane since last summer. I think this was the 4th time I have ever flew it. I am not so sure about this plane. It seems to fly good and it doesnt. I had some hardware problems with it from the original arf. I changed out aileron rods. I am overpowering it with a saito 125 four stroke, but I am also negating some of it with a 4 blade scale 14x8 biela prop. I doubt I leave that prop on the model. I will probably put a 15x? two blade on it. I really just stuck that four blade on their for static display. I said heck with it and did not feel like changing it. So I flew it. Its to much for that engine probably but it did pull it around ok. It was on the windy side that day, but damn the plane just never felt like it was tracking comfortably. I felt like I was hands on flying it the whole time. Anyway enjoy the short video.

Beautiful video, Lon! You have those props balanced perfectly. Not a bit of vibration.

Thanks Prowler....I know when i'm taking the time to balance them i sometimes think "Does this really help that much?" It does!!

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?

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.

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.
