Got a present (well trade. ... lol )
Practice something a little faster. Joey found a couple lil hackers also, so we'll be tearing up some streamers.

Seems like I'm getting the better end of the stick.... I'll throw in another plane perhaps!
Very excited!

Looks like a Jeff Dawson 'Lil Buzzard. I have 2 with Profi's on them. Very nice planes. Not quite as light as some of the Russian stuff but they are very tough. About the only thing that will kill them is a mid-air. Ground strikes are nothing for this plane.

Good to hear Mike. I'm sticking the profi off of my crashed 1/2a proto speed plane on a lil hacker so we got a couple planes ready for the weekend.

I wish I could join you, 1/2A combat is about as fun as it gets. Same lap times as big block fast, without all the damage.

Looks like the outboard wing got crunched in shipping

should be easy to flatten and set back flat

I bet that Fora is not yet fully broken in

use very small handle spacing for that twitchy bugger...!!!

It got squished a little. A little massage with the iron straightened it right out.
I believe I have just the handle! Thanks Fred!

The best part of the system is the glasses that came in that plastic bag.  Mark Scarborough gave me some, so I'm combat ready.

Howard, I was hoping my pics were clear enough to capture that. Now I feel combat ready as well!

Here's the third flight of the new 1/2A ship. I flew it first, Joey flew it and gave it the blessing, then here's my little sport flying spin.

Nice Dane, wish I could tell you how I feel right now sitting here in the office watching you fly models at the park.   

Where's that expletive emogee?
