      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:

            Now talk about a wide open flying space! Very cool (and very jealous, lol)!

              WOW! The word "Lake" must have come from those few times there is water in the "Lake". Just kidding some. What a nice open area to fly.

                                          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 :)
