Gambit21 Posted July 4, 2022 Posted July 4, 2022 Beautiful! Other than choosing to avoid places where freakshows congregate, I didn’t stop doing a damn thing due to the cooties. Get out there and fly.

Its not that i am afraid due to covid19 so much, but it is that i have two kids growing up and cannot spend much money and time to r/c modeling anymore like i used to. my r/c field is also far away from home but my passion for that never dies!

Drum Posted July 4, 2022 Posted July 4, 2022 Nice landing, don't see landings like that very often. ? 2
firdimigdi Posted July 4, 2022 Posted July 4, 2022 Holy crap that's very nice work (and quite the smooth landing on the maiden flight video), all you got to do now is up the scale by a factor of 4 and you're set! Was this based off some kit or completely DIY?

Guest deleted@83466 Posted July 4, 2022 Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) OMG. If there weren’t scale references in there, I’d think I was looking at the genuine article. If it were even possible for me to build something like this (I’m a very amateur plastic modeler), I seriously doubt I’d have the guts to take it into the air, so that’s equally impressive. I mean, seriously awesome machine you have there. Edited July 4, 2022 by SeaSerpent
