It has been more than a year since I have flown the Primary Force...always tend to forget what a right good stunter it is. Got the OS .35FP on the nose. It was fun!
Just working on stunt pattern manuevers.

You're getting good.
Your exits from the round loops aren't full height -- technically these aren't supposed to be judged, so technically you can relax and shorten them, but I'd go ahead and stay on the loop until the plane is at the top.
If you're going to err on the hourglass, make it narrower rather than wider -- this makes all the turns easier. But everyone tends to make it broad. Because you're intersecting the lines at 45 degrees rather than making a rounded-off corner there, the base is actually smaller than the base of the triangles.
But that's nit-picking.

Funny....always a critique on here! :##
Well just an interest-something to watch video. Wanted just to show what the PF would do.
Thanks for checking it out.

Shug you look so relaxed out there than the first video I can remember. You also remind me that the Primary Force is one of the best flying stunt planes I have. Need to pull it off the hook and recover wings after my demented poodle did her dance on it. She didn't like the pattern I was doing with another plane that day. Mine started with Fox .35 Stunt and then I switched to LA .25. For some reason I have more fun watching than flying.

Not sure why anyone would critique a fun flight especially when the camera was off set from where the judges might actually be. Also the entire pattern was not visible.
Just a fun flight and one of the best ARF's ever produced in my opinion and I have had the Nobler, Tutor 2, Primary force, Flite Streak, and Cardinal. All had deficient control systems in part of in whole. D>K
Hard to get the perfect angle at times. It is a mighty fine ARF.

It is a relaxing plane to fly. Glad I got mine back off the hook. Will be flying it tomorrow.
