AG. Quality production. Was there a moment where you began to break character in the opening sequence? Anyway, as a wise Starship Captain once said, "Most legends have their basis in fact." Bravo Zulu, Sir. Best, Steve
Captain: Got any ideas?
F/O: Actually not.

You'll never be good at something unless you're willing to suck at it first.
Freewing Grumman F9F Panther . original 685mmm span, modified 800mm wingspan 860gms all up take off weight. Wing area of 12.86dm2 = 67 gms/dm2 . 1.15kg manufacturers quoted thrust = 1.45 to 1 at 860gms. FMS 64mm 11 blade edf unit, 2840 3150kv out-runner, 135gms, 40amp esc, 1150gms thrust, 1800mah 4s 70-140c (215 gms). Recalculated cg for modified wing with 15% static margin is 48mm back from LE of intake, set to 38mm back for maiden flight.

Fod guard to cheater fan, blacked out canopy with open front window to cool battery, esc and make up for fod guard air loss. Ordered fms edf unit to replace duff X-fly unit so it will be February before maiden. More photos in Hobby Squawk thread .
Been wanting vectored thrust for some time and Air Guardian's videos convinced me to get the Su-35. I didn't appreciate the size of this jet until I got it out of the box. Huge shout out to
RC4ever for the tips video on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sHVKNWVwDI). With the flying stab and lower fins it is a challenge to move and store. Used the box to move it from storage to field.
Glad that worked for you!
I have migrated this habit to other planes as well and often bring them to the field in the foam box, very convenient! :)
BTW, just did my Raptor maiden today, that I got taking advantage of the 'End of year Awards' prize that I got!
Thanks one more time to everyone that voted for me! :D

Thanks Elbee!
It had to be a 'blend of sorts'... still, acting isn't quite my area of expertise so plenty to learn! ;)
[QUOTE=Airguardian;n334855]Have the MRC Friday Live Shows been cancelled or what?
It's the what.. not cancelled. It's just been moved to far and few in-between. I believe James said it may change to members only, by member blast announcements, every once in a while. I could be wrong though. He mentioned it near the end of the last Live Show.
Understandable.. I'm sure you and Tuckie were just way too excited at the time to catch it!
I've been enjoying both your's and Tuckie's videos of the prize birds since. Keep 'em coming!
